About this episode

In today's episode, I'm talking with doula and co-founder of Carriage House Birth, Lindsey Bliss, about natural birthing options. She shares what a doula is and does, what it's like to work with one, and why it's important to understand your options and rights around birthing.  We also discuss the challenges around reproductive injustice, the common myths about giving birth, and how mothers can prepare for pregnancy, labor and, postpartum in a way that is safe, comfortable, and low stress.
