28 | What Sober Women Should Know about Birth with Emmy Robbin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m joined by Emmy Robbin, a Birth Trauma Recovery Coach, Somatic EMDR practitioner and HBAC (home birth after c-section) Mom from Austin, Texas.
What do pregnancy, birth and medical freedom have to do with sobriety? It turns out, a lot.
Emmy’s wisdom gained through her own birth stories (first a traumatic c-section, then a redemptive HBAC) is invaluable for sober women desiring an autonomous, self-empowered birth experience.
Tune in for story medicine and practical wisdom on:
- Emmy’s two birth stories
- birth as a natural, physiological event (not an inherently dangerous, medical event)
- red flags to look for when choosing a birth attendant and/or medical practitioner during pregnancy
- the importance of healing personal and generational birth trauma, Emmy’s offerings as a coach and Birth Keeper
My audio muted toward the end of recording, so the last 10 minutes of this episode conclude with Emmy’s powerful words of encouragement.
