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.
