Episode 27: Dr. Britta Bushnell on Transformed by Birth
Episode Summary
Dr. Britta Bushnell joins us to talk about her book Transformed by Birth and the framework behind it. Britta has spent decades thinking about how we prepare people for birth, and her work bridges the practical and the mythic in a way that holds up under teaching pressure.
We get into why preparing for childbirth through story can help recreate the hormonal state the body actually needs, how the process of becoming parents really works, and what childbirth educators and doulas can do to support new parents through that becoming.
Especially useful for educators looking for fresh teaching tools, and for anyone who has wondered why some preparation lands and some bounces off.
