Erica Livingston & Laura Interlandi are two powerhouse doulas rocking the world of birth, babies, and beyond in Brooklyn.These women offer so much to help families feel held in this potent time, including: postpartum support, unique ceremonies, and classes. In this episode we get into:

Why becoming a Mother is a creative threshold and portal, with birth being the opening, and postpartum being the closing
Why taking a sacred pause and honouring the process of healing after birth is so important
How the womb has the ability to only hold both your shadows and new life for so long, and how this plays out in the journey of pregnancy
How doulas are gatekeepers, holding the space around you, making you feel protected and normalized
Why motherhood is the sacred “chop wood, carry water” of the lower three chakras
How the media only offers two extreme perceptions of birth, and doesn't offer an understanding of the full spectrum
Why there is magic in the mundane, and why it’s okay to feel more than one emotion at the same time
How we all need doulas to support each other through our big life moments, in every aspect of life
