Today we’re talking about something every pregnant woman deserves to know: how to advocate for yourself in pregnancy and birth — without apology, without fear, and without shrinking to make others comfortable.
I’m sitting down with the amazing Adoring Doula to break it all down: what true advocacy looks like, why it matters so much, and how having the right doula in your corner can completely change your birth experience.
Krystil is a doula, educator, and the founder of Innerbloom Doula Institute, where she trains women to support births and build sustainable, soul-aligned businesses. Most importantly, she a mom of two and a longtime entrepreneur with a deep passion for reimagining maternal healthcare—because in her words, it needs a serious upgrade. Her work is rooted in helping women feel seen, supported, and confident in their choices, whether they’re giving birth or stepping into birthwork themselves. She all about practical wisdom, real talk, and creating the kind of change that actually sticks.
We’re also pulling back the curtain on her powerful doula training program — because it’s not just about attending births, it’s about raising up fierce, compassionate advocates who will reshape maternal healthcare from the inside out.
If you’re ready to step into your power, trust your instincts, and create a birth experience you’re proud of, this episode will light a fire under you.
🔥 Your voice matters. Your birth matters. Let’s talk about how to protect both.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
