In this episode, I interviewed Blake Stewart, a birth doula, to explore the role and significance of doulas in the childbirth process. Blake shares her journey into becoming a doula, the support she provides to mothers during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, and how to find and hire a doula. The conversation also touches on the experiences of unmedicated births, C-sections, and the importance of having a supportive presence during labor. Blake emphasizes the need for connection between the doula and the mother, and how this relationship can enhance the birthing experience.

We also explore the profound experiences surrounding childbirth, discussing the emotional beauty of birth, the differences between hospital and home births, and Blake's personal journey from experiencing both medicated and unmedicated births.

Thank you so much for listening!
