Doula Byte: Empowerment
Let’s talk about empowerment!
This is a doula byte do you do not want to miss!
Can someone who lacks empowerment in their own life empower another?
We recognize that birth as an individual’s sacred moment. An experience that lasts a lifetime. A powerful experience where there are no do-overs. It’s a story that they will tell again and again. Yet when a birth worker is carrying trauma from their own experience they can’t effectively help another have an empowering experience of their own.
If you are dealing with your own past experience, you can’t be fully present for the client that you are serving.
There is a tendency among birth workers to not own our power and know our worth, and ultimately we lead lives that we don’t intend to lead.
There are two things that the majority of birth workers have in common:
- We want to contribute to the empowerment of women/birthing people.
- We want to leave birth better than we found it.
Come spend 30 minutes with us for one of the most powerful episodes we’ve had to date!
