Reclaim your power: inspiration and reflections for pregnancy, childbirth and beyond episodes
- Episode 1: Facing our fears
So, what is it that blocks us from reclaiming our power and robs us of empowered birth experiences or from having a gentle birth? What makes so many women have what can be often described as traumatic instead of memorable birthing experiences? There are several reasons, but one of the biggest blockages we face is fear.
In this episode I reflect on the types and causes of fear and conclude with some ideas about what we can do to help us deal with fear, empower ourselves and take our power back during pregnancy and birth.Podcast artwork: Photo by Kumaran Pondicherry Photography; Styling by Become

experience and take back the arena of pregnancy and childbirth that has become constricted and heavily medicalized in many places? This podcast is a series of my reflections and insights about pregnancy, birth, and beyond, as well as other things pertaining to being a woman. It is based on my experiences, the experiences of women I have supported as a doula, and books written by midwives, doulas, and doctors who believe in a woman's right to birth her way. My aim is to inspire and challenge the way we are being socialized to give birth and to remind us that the power lies within us. To challenge us as women to take back our power by informing and educating ourselves so we understand the processes of pregnancy and childbirth. To awaken us to the possibility of having an empowered birth experience. To remind us that our bodies are ours and should be treated with reverence and respect.
