I had five kids over 12 years - and THEN I became trained as a doula and birth pro!

• At age 18, I was one of the youngest clients to deliver at my small-town birthing center
• I had two hospital births, one so-so, and one that traumatized me (details left unsaid in this podcast - but check the links below)
• Writing to re-live my trauma as purge-therapy - unkind, but it helped
• My husband's fears around unassisted birth (whose body is this? mine!)
• My first doula birth was a Cesearan, and it was...not what I expected--!
