Aly McClain is a certified Doula, Registered Nurse, and host of the Empowered Birth Podcast. Listen in this week as we dig into how intentionality and ownership can combine to create empowerment for a more successful childbirth, however you define it. Topics covered include: - Intentionality as first factor you can control - Owning that power and making choices and decisions from it leads to empowerment - Buy the hospital ticket, get the hospital ride - Communication & Connection - The importance of investing in you relationship - Meeting Dads where they are, and then guiding them for loving support ... and so much more!
