This episode is a little different as it is just me, Amber-lee, your host behind the mic chatting about my recent Honours research study on subjective birth trauma and birth debriefing and my findings but also what led me down the childbirth rabbit hole 18 months ago. There’s a lot of information in this episode but I hope you find it interesting!
If you would like a copy of the results of this study please email me thepowerofbirth@outlook.com
Thank you to everyone who promoted and/or completed the study. Your voice is so needed in this space and I appreciate you sharing your experiences with me.
