Description

Here to talk about taboo topics surrounding motherhood and the gaps in perinatal healthcare and reproductive health. Join your host Amber-lee from @thepowerofbirth (and editor Rigel from @b.d.esigns) as she engages in candid conversations with experts in health, science, fitness, maternity, sociology, and psychology and people with lived experiences. Together with our guests, we raise awareness, challenge biases and expose gaps in women’s health. We believe that by sharing your stories and information provided by experts, we can empower you to advocate for yourself and your wellbeing. We provide practical tips, education and a fresh perspective on perinatal health and modern motherhood through integrating lived experience and expert knowledge. At The Power of Birth and through this podcast, we’re here to reduce stigma, eliminate shame, and start important conversations that shift the way we think and practice. Together, we can break the silence, drive change and shape the future of women’s healthcare.
