- Crianças e família
What if you were diagnosed with terminal cancer while raising a newborn baby? What if you thought your kid might have to grow up without you? What if you had to grow up without a mom? This is a series for my kid, to make sure she is mothered by who I am, my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned through my life & my work, whether I’m here with her in the flesh or not. Part biographical, part educational, this is a series on birth & life & death and finding freedom in diving head first into the ocean, rain or storm. Find me on Instagram @jessicaaustinchildbirth .

Mini Episode for the doulas, by request.
Mini episode for the recent doula grads by request from @bewithbirth: “a doula pep talk for us students to listen to on our way to a birth. Little reminders to stay true to who we are and what we we've learned!” She sent me her top seven reminders and I threw in a couple bonus ones. I’m not generally taking requests so try not to send me more 😂. Support my work at links in my Instagram bio @jessicaaustinchildbirth
