#354 | From Trauma to Trust: Moran's (@2lifedoula) Journey to Birth Work and Motherhood

In this episode, we talk to Moran of @2lifedoula, a doula whose journey into birth work was born from her own harrowing transition into motherhood. Moran candidly shares the story of her first birth—a clinical, disconnected experience where lack of preparation and resurfaced childhood trauma led to a "full-blown panic attack" and postpartum depression.

Knowing that wasn't how birth was meant to be, Moran transformed her approach for her subsequent birth, ultimately having a euphoric, spontaneous home birth. This transformation sparked her 14-year career as a doula and inspired her new book, Before You Give Birth, written for the woman she once was: unprepared, overwhelmed, and unaware of her own strength.

Moran explains why birth is a portal of transformation, regardless of the outcome, and offers a roadmap for women to heal and advocate for themselves, whether you are a first-time mother or a birth professional.
