    159. Embracing Non-Outcome-Based Childbirth Preparation With Amanda Gorman

    Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! In this episode, we are learning all about non-outcome-based childbirth preparation with my special guest, Amanda Gorman. As a childbirth educator and postpartum support advocate, Amanda brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.


    She shares some incredible insights into what it means to approach childbirth without being tied to a specific outcome, discusses three different types of knowing that can aid women in their birth preparation, and even gives us her top three things she wishes she’d known when giving birth the first time.



     Some big takeaways are:

    1. It takes a lot of openness to not tie yourself to a certain birth outcome.
    2. Sometimes the real treasure is looking back to your ancestral roots. 
    3. Don’t judge yourself too harshly - practice self-compassion.


    Amanda also spends time covering a variety of birthing classes that women should look into for childbirth education. They are listed in the show notes, so head there to learn more! www.newmomboss.com/blog/159
