In this powerful episode of The Ultimate Birth Partner Podcast, we dive into a topic that may challenge how you think about birth support: the role of a doula or birthkeeper. While many believe our job is to shield you from the medical system, the truth is more complex.

My role isn’t to control external factors or guarantee a specific birth outcome. Instead, it’s to help you overcome self-doubt, navigate fears, and trust your body. Together, we’ll work to build the resilience, mindset, and advocacy skills you need to stay grounded in your values - no matter what comes your way.

Listen in as I share real-life insights, why birth preparation requires more than a plan, and how your inner work can be the foundation for a truly empowered birth experience.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• The true role of a birthkeeper or doula
• Why self-trust is the ultimate protection
• Navigating the system vs. navigating yourself
• How to stay aligned with your birth values

🎧 Ready to take control of your birth experience? Tune in now to learn how inner strength and preparation can make all the difference.
