The Strong Mama Rise's Podcast: Recent Episodes
Ashley Cooper
I'm a doulatog and mother of five. Roll your eyes all you want but I'm all about uplifting other women and empowerment. Birth and motherhood is literally my job and I want to talk more about it. Birth injustice, gentle parenting, evidence-based birthing practices, and just trying not to feel like a complete failure as a mom. We'll talk about all of it and with other leading women in their respective fields like my favorite local midwife, other doulas, and just bad ass mom's who own their own business. I'm always trying to evolve as a person and help others. I hope this podcast embodies that.
Who better to talk about inclusivity in the birth community and as a birth worker than Kendall Beeler who is a doula and a part of the LGTBQIA+ community. There are some bumps since technology still hate me, but I hope that you take something important away from this conversation. Keep talking about it and share it with everyone. Everyone deserves love and equal care.

A lot of great information and I hope you finish this episode empowered.
Sometimes men need to hear it from other men. I invited my Chinook Flying, Gun-Toting, Man's man on the show to talk about gentle parenting, being a good birth partner, and baby wearing. We even talk about our biggest relationship struggles and how we have made it 18 years together. Warning: may contain swear words and sexual references.
Can't find your village? Neither could I. So I created one. I tell you a little bit about myself and what you can expect from me and this podcast like talking about birth injustice to parenting. It's time to be heard. It's time to grow and learn. You're strong and together we rise.
