In this episode, I’m joined by Mannah Liu, a Georgia-based doula with a powerful story to share. Her first birth experience in the hospital was filled with interventions and decisions made without her consent—leaving her feeling unheard, disempowered, and unsure of how to advocate for herself. But her story didn’t end there. Mannah went on to have two home births that completely transformed her experience of motherhood. In this conversation, she opens up about her journey from a traumatic birth to two deeply healing ones, how that shaped her work as a doula, and why informed choice and autonomy matter so much in birth. Whether you’re planning your first birth or your fifth, this episode is a reminder that your voice matters—and that birth can be beautiful.
