You may see a news report on a mom giving birth in a taxi. You may see Emily Blunt giving birth in silence in the movie “A Quiet Place.” You’ll hear all the stories from your friends and family where either the baby just “slipped out” in a few minutes or tore their mother apart after “5 days” of pushing.
Regardless of what you’ve seen or heard of the birthing process, it is a very unique experience for each person in this world who gives birth. It is very important to be extremely educated on your options and the process wherever you might give birth. It is equally important to understand that no one can entirely prepare you for that exact moment. It is even more important for you to build resilience in order to optimize your experience.
On today’s show, we have Liz Moran, a doula and fitness coach, joining us to chat about all things BIRTH! With small kids herself, she discusses how she works with new parents and parents-to-be to support families prenatally, at the birth, and postpartum. She chats with us today on how fitness and activity fits into her life now as a mother and doula.
Liz is based in northern New Jersey and lives with her two daughters, (ages 3 and 1) and husband on a lake. Liz's background is in CrossFit training and she enjoys working closely with parents through fitness, pregnancy, babywearing and beyond. She is an awesome, local resource for all things birth, education and movement.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
