Raggie28 ,

Thank You!

This podcast is refreshing and I am glad to see and hear from birthing professionals that look like me! Though I don’t plan on having kids in the near future (Rich Auntie) if I am ever in space to advocate I have the foundational knowledge to know what is going on in the examination room and birthing suite. Also I’m WSSU Ramily as well and Briea is my neighbor as well 😂

Elisabeth J ,

Amazing podcast for EVERYONE!

As the non-gestational spouse of a birthing person, this podcast has been SO helpful to me as I prepare to be a good birthing partner to my spouse. Debunking myths and equipping all of us with knowledge in a comfortable and conversational way that makes you feel like you’re talking to expert friends.
