This week, we are joined by a very special guest who is near and dear to Adriana’s heart. Laura DePasquale is a New Jersey based Doula, childbirth educator, and doula trainer. She was Adriana’s doula who helped her immensely throughout the process of giving birth to Ford. In this episode, Adriana and Mariah sit down with Laura to talk all things birth, how to know and understand your body and its signals, toxic optimism, Laura’s take on Adriana’s birth experience, and so much more. This episode is informative and an important reminder to always advocate for yourself.
