018 Olivia Westwood: Radical Birthkeeper

Olivia Westwood is a radical birth keeper advocating for all women maintaining authority over their bodies and especially during the birthing process. We discuss the myths of home birth, many of which that have not been confirmed by science, the differences between midwives/doulas/radical birthkeepers, the biological process that is innate within every woman's body to have a safe birth all on their own, and so much more.
