  • Opened My Eyes

    This podcast has opened my eyes and opened my heart. The life cycle of a woman from her own birth, through the birth of her children, through her body in its later years, is so honestly addressed. Compassion, empathy, and wisdom for women, as well as men. Finally, someone is talking about what we used to discuss in a circle of women living their lifetimes together.

  • Compassionate and Evidence-Based

    I would recommend this show to birth workers, nurses, OBs, parents, and anyone interested in a humanistic perspective on pregnancy and birth. Atoosa’s unique perspective balances respect for evidence with respect for the innate ability of bodies that birth.
