    Ep. 46: The Truth About Doulas (And Why Every Woman Should Have One) with Erica Manto Paulson

    What does a doula actually do, and why does it matter so much? In this episode, Alex sits down with Erica Manto Paulson, certified Doula + the Founder and CEO of Nurture, to break down the real role of a doula and how it’s completely different from a midwife or an OB. With nearly two decades of experience supporting over 1,000 births, Erica shares the research-backed truth: having a doula can significantly improve outcomes in any kind of birth. They also get a little deeper into the power of birth stories, why your experience stays with you for life, and how sharing it can impact generations of women to come. This is a conversation about support, agency, and why no woman should go through birth feeling alone!Connect with Erica at Nurture: www.welcometonurture.comFollow Nurture on IG: @nurturecincyFollow "Glow Up And Speak Out" on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@glowupandspeakout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop Alex’s faves in beauty and wellness on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Subscribe to our newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Links and Discounts!Prolon: Tap the link below for 15% off your 5-day nutrition kit to get ALL of the benefits of fasting (including cell autophagy) - while still eating!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://partners.prolonlife.com/ALEXANDRAFERRARA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Plant People: For 15% off any doctor-formulated supplement, enter code: GLOWUP at checkout.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.plantpeople.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fatty15: Click the link below for 20% off your Fatty15 Starter Kit 90-Day Supply of supplements for healthy aging.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FATTY15 + GLOWUP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠K.

Tamar earned her master's in clinical nutrition from New York University and completed her clinical training at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Recognized as one of New York City’s top holistic dietitians by Well+Good, Tamar is a sought-after speaker and thought leader, having recently addressed the Association of Black Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists (ABGH).
