About this episode

Sarah Marie shares her journey of reclaiming trust in birth after a challenging first experience.

What happens when your first experience of birth leaves you shaken… and the providers you’re supposed to trust tell you not to try again? Where do you go from there? Sarah Marie is the owner of Entering Motherhood, a wife and a mom of three who spends her days soaking up life with her little ones, whether that’s through slow mornings at home, time in the garden, or exploring a new coffee shop. As a certified birth and postpartum doula, Sarah is passionate about walking alongside women as they step into motherhood. She also hosts the Entering Motherhood podcast, where she shares encouragement, education, and real conversations about pregnancy, birth and beyond.
