Lindsey Bliss (she/they) is a seasoned birth companion, a childbirth educator, author ofThe Doula’s Guide to Empowering Your Birth and mother of seven. Lindsey is considered to be a multiples expert after giving birth to two consecutive sets of twins.
Lindsey has been practicing as a birth worker since 2009 and has supported first time parents, multiparas, single parents, LGBTQAI+ families, twin births, medicated and non-medicated vaginal births, cesarean births, and VBACs.
In this episode we discover how to find the pleasure in birth, the ways in which repressed trauma can show up during and after, why Lindsey found herself laughing as her second set of twins were born, bodily autonomy, what we desperately need to change about the systems surrounding bringing babies into the world, and whether it's really possible - and appropriate - to orgasm in the process.
You can find Lindsey giving radical care on Instagram @doulabliss - with a bunch of links in her stories - "contributions" section - to ways you can support birth workers across the USA.
