About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with doula, educator, and longtime friend Lori Bregman for a grounded and heartfelt conversation about birth as a rite of passage and the deeper role of the doula. Together, we explore how pregnancy and birth invite profound inner change, and how support rooted in presence, authenticity, and trust can shape not only the birth experience but also the transition into parenthood. Lori shares her perspective on birth as a portal, the importance of moving beyond "should," and how mind, body, and spirit support can help parents quiet the noise, reclaim agency, and meet this threshold with clarity and self-trust. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember that birth is not only about bringing a baby into the world. It is about becoming someone new.
