Ep 159: A Conversation with my Birth Doula, Elizabeth Beeker

I'm so excited to share this conversation I had with my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum doula, Elizabeth Beeker! We talk about the role of a doula in birth and the spiritual aspects and elements of birth.

We also talk about:

• What observing birth work in Kenya taught her about Western birth practices
• Surrender in birth
• The importance of prenatal preparation
• What to do if you're experiencing prodromal labor
• Navigating miscarriage and loss
• Why hiring a doula for birth is key
