S2E10 Healing in Community: Student Edition with Vicky and DeZarayé

S2E10 Healing in Community: Student Edition with Vicky and DeZarayé
This week Bianca is joined by two of our incredible alumni: Vicky Cadot and DeZarayé Manning. Both Vicky and DeZarayé share their passion for birth, healing and body autonomy.Vicky struggled with CPTSD (Complex Postraumatic Stress Disorder) after suffering religious and sexual abuse. After suffering a panic attack while caring for her children, she realized she needed to do some deep healing work and she found a community that helped her name and understand what she was going through. She started reconnecting to herself, to the things that brought her joy and made her shine. She realized she was pregnant with her 5th child and decided to advocate for herself and embark in the journey of unassisted homebirth. She now runs her own business serving families and is a leader for Black doulas in Quebec.DeZarayé also experienced trauma, in her case it was in the form of getting electrocuted at work and having to leave her career as a body worker, which she was deeply passionate about. DeZarayé first tried to heal in silence, ignoring red flags and the signals of her body, but eventually she found a community that helped her do the deep work. Finding birth work helped her come back to herself and get grounded. She is now pregnant with her second child and planning an unassisted homebirth.Links:Solari Naissance, Vicky's BusinessDeZarayé's InstagramIndie BirthThe Four AgreementsThe Body Keeps the Scorewww.bebomia.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn or Twitter.
