EP55 Birthing Our Stories: Healing Birth Trauma Through the Power of Storytelling, Safety & Connection Pt 1 with Ayelet Schwell

The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan

In this episode, I'm chatting with Ayelet Schwell. Ayelet is a doula, Birth Healer, and educator for mothers and birth professionals. She is the founder of Healing Her Birth Circle and the creator of the Birthing Our Stories method of healing birth trauma.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The role of intuition in pregnancy and labor and how it can sometimes feel elusive in deference to medical “experts”
• How birth is a physiological process that women are naturally designed to be able to do
• The common saying that’s thrown around after birth that her and I both hate with equal measure and the dangerous implications it has for everyone involved in the birth world from mom to baby to birth professionals

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place.
This podcast is designed to connect you with resources, inspiration, and the reminder that you are not alone as you embark on your journey of radical mothering.
I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a certified TRE provider (which stands for tension & trauma releasing exercises), trauma-informed yoga instructor, and also a dynamic self-care coach for moms. And of course, a fellow radical mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience-backed tools and heart-centered intuition.
