Slaying The Status Quo In Total Style
Sex, Birth and Death
This episode is absolutely massive, and you’re going to want to take some freakin’ notes people! We’re talking birth, sex, and death. We’re talking about all the ways these three things are held hostage, feelings squashed, surrounded in shame, pushed into the background, not discussed publicly, or not discussed at all, period. I’m breaking down why we’re having no honest, meaningful conversations about birth, sex or death, and how significant our suffering is as a result.
When I first started in Doula work, there was quite literally no conversation around sex and death, intersectionality, any discussion around the milestones, the events, the thresholds, the catalysts in terms of the mainstream Doula Training that was available to me at the time. It was very much a safe Doula Training, and therefore very safe Doula conversation.
Today I share with you what full spectrum doula work looks like for me. I discuss why the hard conversations are so important, why you must know and love yourself before you can even think about holding space for another, and why you need to cut the bullshi$, and work on yourself. Immediately. This is an emergency.
