Birthright Live!: The Restoration Episode

Black birthing needs healing. Too many Black women and birthing individuals are left holding trauma and unresolved hurt due to the mistreatment, dismissiveness, or disrespect they endured during the childbirth experience. It’s time to model healing journeys for those carrying birth trauma, so we can all find joy! In our first Birthright Live episode, I sit down with two Black mamas who are holding trauma and a psychotherapist, specializing in birth-related disorders and anxieties, for an unforgettable journey to restore and heal from their traumatic birthing experiences. The episode features tips for everyone to start their own healing journey and reminds us that watching others heal can be healing for all. Who: Sasha Winslow, MS, FNP-BC, RNC-MNN, @sashalovesbooksAlisha Liggett, MD, Founder of Empower Her Health @happyhealthydoctoralishaNneka Symister, LCSW, @Nneka_symisterResources/ReferencesWatch the full live episode, filmed in part in NYC, on the Birthright Podcast YouTube page. Learn more about Nneka Symister at her Website Mylocaltherapist.orgRead Alisha’s Story ‘The day I was reduced to a Black birthing body.’ A doctor reflects on pregnancyLearn more about having a safe and empowered birth by downloading the free ebook: Birth with Irth: A Mini-Manual to Pregnancy and Childbirth for Black People Get full episode details and transcripts (posted by midday) on www.BirthrightPodcast.com New episodes are released every other Wednesday!
