EP #19 - The Doula Difference: Transforming your Birth Experience
In this episode, I sit down for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation with Johanna Wagner, a birth and postpartum doula, to hear about her journey into this deeply compassionate work and the profound impact doulas have in guiding families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Johanna explains how doulas differ from midwives and how they work alongside medical teams to create a more empowering birthing experience.
This episode explores the emotional challenges of childbirth, including navigating birth plans, managing trauma, and the importance of letting go of control in a highly medicalised environment. Johanna also highlights the mental health needs of both parents—especially fathers—and the value of emotional support throughout the journey.
This conversation wraps with a candid look at the realities of doula work, from the need for self-care to the importance of building strong communities around new families. Insightful, honest, and supportive—this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating or supporting the birth experience.
