Description

What does liberation really look like in birth work—and how can we move beyond burnout and bias to create true change? In this bold and heartfelt episode, Jen McLellan speaks with Sabia Wade—Black queer CEO, full-spectrum doula, author of Birthing Liberation, and founder of Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings. Together, they unpack the deep systemic harm within maternity care, especially for Black birthing people and those in larger bodies.

From medical gaslighting and BMI discrimination to stress, spiritual disconnection, and inequity in access to care, Sabia shares powerful personal stories and calls for collective transformation in how we support birthing people—and those who serve them. Whether you're a parent, provider, or passionate about justice, this conversation will expand your awareness and inspire you to be part of the change.
