In this week's episode, I am chatting with Rhea Dempsey who is an Australian doula, author, and birth educator.

We had a great chat about our thoughts and beliefs on giving birth in the modern-day maternity system, and how 'thank goodness births' can usually be unravelled to reveal the cause - which Rhea shares is typically because of 'the fu*#!ing epidural'.

This is such a wonderful conversation with Rhea, who is a real veteran in the birth world, and we can learn so much from the wise women who have supported so many families through the system over the decades.

Her passion stems from her experience with fitness and diet before she ever became a birth worker, and she then became 'radicalised' by the births of her own children.

I hope you enjoy this episode - and you can find Rhea:-
