The Rise, Priestess Podcast

This episode is a little different. I hold space for my wonderful client Marissa Mignone to share her incredible story of transformation and reclamation.

Marissa has been serving as a Doula, Childbirth Educator, Mentor for Mothers and Yoga Instructor for 10 years. The way she mentors is dynamic. Utilizing all areas of her expertise, she is a one-stop-shop for understanding and preparing for pregnancy, birth and postpartum in a holistic way. Marissa is comforting and caring. She ensures a safe space to introspectively understand themselves, their own wisdom, hone intuition and enhance their birthing journey.

The Spiritual Feminist Podcast

In this podcast episode, we talk about Marissa's passion for doulaship. This holistic approach to support during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum is not just empowering to the person and/or couple that receive the support, but contributes to the collective wellbeing of women, men and children. 

We chat about how doulaship inspires Marissa to be fully present, in the moment and in the world, and how this is inherently spiritual. Marissa also shares her views on the concept of pregnancy - and how she believes that within feminine energy, we're always pregnant with something, we're always creating and co-creating. 

We also talk about mothering yourself, especially (but not exclusively) as a spaceholder. Taking care of yourself in our busy world isn't easy, but probably the most important and empowering thing you can do.

I hope this conversation with Marissa not just teaches you more about doulaship and the journey of pregnancy and birth, but also about taking care of yourself and approaching all of life in a spiritual, attentive way!
