In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking to Tracey Anderson Askew. Tracey is a Childbirth and Parenting educator and mother to 4 boys. She is the director of Transform Parenting, a support community that provides programs to prepare for birth and early parenthood. She has 20 years experience working with parents and has supported over 3000 families through their births.

Today we talk about how to heal from our births by sharing our stories and finding the wisdom and learnings from our birth experiences. We talk about how birth is a catalyst for our growth and that we can support our babies to heal from their birth experiences too.

Tracey shares about the wisdom of our bodies and how she counters the cultural conditioning around birth that often disempowers women. We discuss how she supports women to know that they are powerful and enough, both for birth and for early motherhood. She describes how she helps families to move from fear to trust, to demystify pain and how to support the nervous system for birth with the language of empowerment. We discuss the importance of trusting our bodies and trusting life and the importance of trust in parenting too. Please note this episode is not specifically about Aware Parenting.

Her Transform Parenting Summit, featuring presentations by several Aware Parenting Instructors including myself, will be available on 23rd September 2022.
