    Ep. 10: Navigating Pregnancy & Childbirth With Confidence - With Alex Barr

    In this podcast episode, Alex Bar, owner of Dare to Birth and a full spectrum doula, opens up about her journey into birth work sparked by facing discrimination during her own pregnancy. Discovering a gap in accessible and compassionate care, she shifted her focus to education. The discussion delves into the challenges of being treated as a number rather than an individual with unique needs during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

    Alex emphasizes the significance of mental preparation alongside physical readiness for this transformative journey. The episode explores pelvic health and stresses the importance of seeking compassionate practitioners for support and education on understanding one's body. Alex introduces her childbirth education company, Dare To Birth, offering in-person and virtual classes.

    Dr. Jocelyn Connelly, the host, underlines the often overlooked and under-discussed topic of pelvic health. The conversation touches on societal stigma and encourages listeners to seek support. Alex, an educator specializing in childbirth, shares insights from her childbirth education classes. She advocates for self-advocacy during childbirth, mental and physical preparation, and the value of comprehensive education beyond hospital-based classes.
