So, what is it that blocks us from reclaiming our power and robs us of empowered birth experiences or from having a gentle birth? What makes so many women have what can be often described as traumatic instead of memorable birthing experiences? There are several reasons, but one of the biggest blockages we face is fear.  

In this episode I reflect on the types and causes of fear and conclude with some ideas about what we can do to help us deal with fear, empower ourselves and take our power back during pregnancy and birth.
