(Part 1) Natural Unmedicated Birth. Meet My Doula And Birth Coach Nicole Lakin! Let’s Openly Talk About Taking Our Power Back As Women + The Fears And Anxieties Around Giving Birth.
Meet my Doula and Birth Coach, Nicole Lakin-Odusanya! She is incredible at reminding women of their power & helping you tap into your innate feminine wisdom!
We get into the nitty gritty of unmedicated vaginal birth, which is something that scares the crap out of me, but I’m so intrigued to learn more!
We discuss what it looks like to feel safe in our bodies, feeling empowered during your pregnancy and birthing experience, and some of the benefits of having a water birth.
Nicole articulates what giving birth to her daughter actually felt like, and explains how she rewrote the screaming-crying-tearing narrative that’s so often portrayed in media. Plus, she shares her tips for how to get into the right headspace and organically prepare your body for childbirth.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- Techniques to build trust and pain tolerance in your body
- Addressing the root of your anxieties and fears around childbirth, and how to create new beliefs
- Why the so many doctors are quick to recommend c-sections
- The reality of medical interventions like Pitocin and anesthesia
- Nicole’s labor and delivery experience
- Why Nicole chose to do a water birth

It's definitely the ultimate surrender to the feminine for us as women. - Nicole
I think the number one thing for us to do as women if we're feeling this and we know we want to go more towards the natural way and we know maybe the type of birth we want is shifting the environment that we're around, and what we're listening to. - Nicole
Women aren't getting to experience the full power of who they are 100%. It's the most powerful, empowering feeling ever. It's the highest thing that we can do as women. We're the portal. - Nicole
We can shift from pain to intense, and then I think we can shift from intense to uncomfortable. - Nicole
I am actually more scared of surgery and doctors, so I think that's also an aspect of why I investigated so much to learn my body and learn my power. - Nicole
