057: Keeping Your Power Workshop™ - with Traci Doula

In October, we hosted Traci for her 2 day workshop attended by both Doulas and Childbirth Educators. In this episode, Traci Doula returns to our podcast to hear feedback about her impactful workshop 'Keeping Your Power™ for Doulas.' I invited Lydia and Jenna to come on as special guests to tell some of the ways the workshop is shifting their birthwork for the better. Our conversation delves into the importance of doulas understanding their own personal stories/habits from their upbringing and how that shapes their interaction with families and in the birth room.  We talk about the importance of establishing solid boundaries, building trust and enhancing their communication skills to better support families.  As a childbirth educator who was already teaching advocacy in my classes, this workshop gave me better words and visuals to use that has better brought out the empowerment that parents already hold inside of them. Birthwork is so much deeper than attending a birth and doing a hip squeeze. The emotional, spiritual growth that can spread through your personal life is there for discovery. Traci's workshop opens up those doors and joins people together who are ready to do the work. The episode highlights the power of self-advocacy, centering the family's voice, and the transformative experience of building resilient and empowering births.
