Episode 67: Supported, Informed, and Confident: A Doula’s Approach to Birth with Brittany Higgins

Pregnancy and birth can bring a unique tension for high-capacity women- the desire to be prepared, informed, and thoughtful… without feeling like everything depends on getting the plan exactly right.  In this episode, I’m joined by Brittany Higgins, a doula and former labor and delivery nurse, who shares a perspective that is both empowering and deeply reassuring. Brittany helps women feel confident in their voice, supported in their decisions, and prepared for birth without being driven by fear.  Together, we talk about:  What birth advocacy really means from a doula’s perspective  The difference between being informed and feeling pressured or fearful  How the desire for control often shows up during pregnancy and birth  Ways partners and support people can help advocate during labor  Questions women can ask providers to feel more confident in their decisions  What support really looks like in the postpartum season  This episode is for the woman who wants to feel ready for birth, not because she can control every outcome, but because she understands her options, trusts her voice, and feels supported throughout the process.  Because preparation isn’t about fear- it’s about confidence, support, and knowing you are not navigating birth alone.  Connect with Brittany  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/britt.the.birth.doula/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/brittany.higgins.7713/  Website: https://britt-the-birth-doula.com/   Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:    Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined    Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!     Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.
