9 Most Badass Birth Moments (From Adriana’s Doula Career)
Adriana celebrates a decade of podcasting by sharing some of the most badass moments she’s witnessed as a doula, including an unassisted waterbirth at the hospital, a uniquely calm and undisturbed physiological birth (in the hospital lobby!), and more moments where her clients embraced their roles as protagonists of their labors, leaned into what they needed, and asked their teams to step up, even if that meant going outside of how things "are usually done."
