In today’s episode, Jacqueline is joined by Stephanie King. Stephanie is passionate about empowering women through knowledge to trust in their bodies and the process of birth. Stephanie is a mom of 3 all born very differently, plus a bonus girl. She's a professional childbirth educator, doula, and host of the Pregnancy and Birth Made Easy podcast and creator of the online course My Essential Birth.

Stephanie shares how her personal experiences paved her path into birth work and how she supports women today. She shares about her birth course, what informed consent looks like, and a sneak peek into her postpartum course. Stephanie reveals all 3 of her births and how they are significantly different, but all led her to the path she’s on now. She talks about having a supportive community, how to choose one, where to find one, and much much more.

In today's show, we discuss:
