Welcome to the Birthful Podcast. I'm Adriana Lozada, and today we're talking about writing your birth story.

There's a unique healing power that can happen when writing your

story without having an audience and getting raw and going to the deep places rather than just

sharing the version suitable for like conversation. But how do you get started and is there a way

to make the process a bit easier? What if your birth involved trauma? Jamie Flares tells us more. Stay tuned.

This episode of Birthful is brought to you by Expectful, an evidence-based guided meditation app

created specifically for those trying to conceive, pregnant, or new moms. Reduce your stress,

reduce your complications, and improve your connection to your baby and partner.

The Birthful podcast, talking to maternity pros to inform your intuition.

Hello, mighty mamas and mamas to be, mighty dads and dads to be, mighty parents and parents to be. As always, thank you so, so much

for listening and for all the love you get the show. An enormous big thank you to all of you

who have subscribed and left our review on iTunes so that we can get the show and even

in front of more people because that really truly helps. So if you haven't yet, think about leaving a review on iTunes.

A funny thing has started to happen more and more lately

is that I find people from Rochester, New York,

who have been listening to the show for a while

without realizing that I too am in Rochester, New York.

So clearly, I need to say this more on the show. So yeah,

I'm right here in Rochester, people, reach out. Let me know if you need a doula or if you need help

with your baby's sleep because I do do sleep consultations for pregnant mamas and toddlers as well.

And those, frankly, we can do on Skype. So you don't have to live in Rochester, New York for that.
