<p>Somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing birth as a rite of passage and started treating it like a medical procedure. It&#39;s time to change that.</p><p>In this episode, I&#39;m chatting with Elaine Welteroth about her incredible journey from journalism to founding the Birth Fund, an organisation working to get midwifery care to families who need it most. We&#39;re diving into why midwifery care is so important, how the medical model of birth has let women down, and what it means to reclaim birth as a rite of passage rather than just another medical event.</p><p>Elaine gets real about trusting your intuition during childbirth, choosing a birth team that truly supports you, and why surrendering to the process (not fighting it) can be one of the most empowering things you&#39;ll ever do. </p><p>You can find out more about<a href="https://www.instagram.com/elainewelteroth/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Elaine</a> and Birth Fund <a href="https://www.thebirthfund.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a>. </p><p>A special thanks to our sponsor, <strong>Wild Nutrition</strong>.
