In this episode, I’m joined by Zarina Ayyub — known as @zarina_the_doula — a birthworker with over 12 years of experience walking alongside women through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

We discuss:

The profound transformation Zarina experienced after finding the right doula training for her

Why so many women are feeling disillusioned with institutional maternity services

How birth attendants can honour the sacredness of their role without compromising their values

The importance of integrity, not just information, in doula education

Zarina shares her deep respect for The Center for Doula Pathways, the course she now recommends to aspiring doulas and radical birthworkers alike.
