Brina is a wife, mom to two girls, a bonus mom to 3 boys, a doula, and a future student midwife, who, through her two births, has experienced hospital transfer, a NICU stay, and Postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD – all of which, she shares about on this episode. Brina’s biggest message to other women and birthing people is that it’s ok to take up space, make your own autonomous, informed choices, and not to let others shake your faith that you, and you alone, know what’s best for your body.Birth Warrior Podcast
The Birth Warrior Podcast, brought to you by the Indie Birth Association, moves beyond mainstream narratives to explore the raw, powerful, and deeply personal landscape of autonomous birth. This isn't a how-to guide, but a collection of voices often left out of the conversation. Each episode features firsthand stories from individuals who have navigated pregnancy and childbirth on their own terms, reclaiming intuition and authority in the process. You'll hear candid reflections on the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of this journey, discussions that intersect with holistic health, alternative family structures, and conscious parenting. The podcast delves into the mental and physical fortitude required, connecting the dots between personal autonomy, fitness, and overall family wellness. By centering these authentic narratives, the Birth Warrior Podcast creates a vital space for anyone questioning conventional paradigms, offering not just stories but a sense of community and validation for those exploring paths less traveled in the realm of birth and motherhood.
