Bettering the Birth Space

Baby Talk with Katie & David

Welcome to Season 2 of Baby Talk with Katie & David! Our theme for this season is "Bettering the Birth Space," and here in episode 1 of Season 2 Katie and I talk a bit about what we each prioritize in that framing as well as share our "origin stories" for getting into birth work. Fun Fact: We'll be bringing in other birth professionals for interviews all season long to hear more from the front lines of how folks are "bettering the birth space" too!

Here in Ep. 1 Katie and I discuss:

- Katie's 2 focal points for bettering the birth space:

-- Continuity of care from pregnancy through postpartum

-- Normalizing the inherent power of childbirth, independent of the amount of drama and/or trauma that might be present.

- David's 2 focal points:

-- Helping Dads-to-be and new Dads better connect to their partners & better prepare for what comes next

- Katie's journey from starting as a postpartum doula to founding the Nest Family Resource Center 10 years ago where she is growing it today and tomorrow with online and onsite support for families in all phases of the pregnancy to parenthood journey

David's story and creating Welcome To Fatherhood

Our mutual focus on parenting and partnership, and much more!
