Kat’s Podcast – Episode no. 50

On today’s show I’m chatting with Eyla Cuenca, Founder of Uncovering Birth, Holistic Birth Guide, Doula and Birth Educator.

I absolutely love her mission, which is in essence educating around birth, pregnancy and postpartum, and helping us alchemize birth trauma so we can birth without fear and become the self-sovereign beings that we’re actually meant to be. 

This episode is especially for you if you’re trying to get pregnant, if you are pregnant and want to know more about your options on how and where to give birth – spoiler: the hospital is not the only option – and what you can do to make pregnancy, birth and postpartum a smooth experience.

And Eyla has one extremely empowering message for all you lovely ladies listening who are beyond 35: It’s not too late! Listen in, and you’ll know why.
