“Birth is political”. Today’s guest on the Found Free podcast is Flor, a doula who does so much more than deliver babies. She tells me about how she’s using her platform to fight for equality and for a higher standard of care in reproductive health.

We begin by exploring Flor’s origin story from witnessing a birth as a child to how her first birth experience at age 21 resulted in a trauma that prevented her from fully bonding with her baby. She shares how becoming a doula helped her to reclaim the birth process and to advocate for her clients.

Then Flor opens up about her campaign to remove society’s censorship on birth so that we can normalize this beautiful and natural experience. We discuss how she’s had to fight social media guidelines on birth and breastfeeding images and how she’s grown as a doula through having uncomfortable but honest conversations with her clients.

We had so much to unpack that this episode is in two parts. Subscribe to the Found Free podcast to catch the second half straight in your podcast feed!
