in today's episode I finish my conversation with Dawn Thompson, the founder of birthify.
We talk about the dramatic difference between
*the education you might get in a prenatal class run by a hospital
and
*the education that Dawn is advocating for, with very specific instances of how these two differ.

Ultimately the goal is not to give you the exact birth you want, because that's impossible to promise, but to try to give you the most empowered birth you can get.
