The B.R.A.I.N Tool Podcast
Decisions are going to have to be made for your birth, let them be by you. I am so passionate about informed decision making when it comes to women making choices about their births. However, there isn't always enough time to gather all the information or enough information given. This podcast aims to bridge that gap, it aims to take a deep dive into all the things that may come up for you in your pregnancy and gives you the information to decide for yourself, what you want to do with your own body in your own birth......exactly the way it should be.
