In this episode, Sarah shares her powerful journey from registered midwife to sovereign doula and hypnobirthing educator. She opens up about leaving the hospital system, the emotional toll of overmedicalised births, and how supporting women outside the system finally felt like true midwifery. We dive into why your birth environment matters, the hidden risks of common interventions like inductions and episiotomies, and the misconceptions around home birth. We explore how trauma can begin at birth, why true informed consent is rare, and how women can reclaim trust in their bodies and intuition. Our conversation also touches on postpartum healing, conscious parenting, attachment, and the challenges of balancing motherhood with purpose-led work. This is a raw and real episode for any woman ready to take her power back in birth and beyond.   🔗 Connect with MeInstagram: @alignyourself.podcastTag me: @iam.ebonyrose Connect with SarahInstagram: the.midwifemummy 🛍️ Exclusive Discounts EMF protection gear from RadiaSmart — Use code EBONY10 Sunglasses and lightwear from Sky and Sol Blue light blocking tools from Block Blue Light
