Through Eliza and various guest experts, you will find mentorship and inspiration. Tune in to each episode and take life lessons that resonate with your journey into empowerment.

Taking Back What Is Ours: The Politics Of Childbirth With Shannon Cheng
We talk a lot about choice in our society, particularly women’s rights to abortion. However, we don’t talk much about how women have been controlled when giving birth and how empowering it can be when a woman steers the ship on her own childbirth experience. We don’t talk about the critical connection between how women are treated during the birth of their child and the larger ramifications of that treatment. Join Eliza VanCort as she sits down with award-winning obstetric nurse Shannon Cheng to discuss the larger story behind birth stories. Cheng talks about empowered births, birth, trauma, informed consent, and the crisis in maternal mortality rates in the Black community.

Kind and gentle
Eliza is a kind and gentle soul with the heart of a warrior. She was meant to do this work and we’re all better because of it.

One of the things I love about Eliza and her podcast is her direct approach to uncovering the truth and essence of any issue or struggle. She wastes no time, dives straight into the heart of the topic and conversation, and hooks listeners from the very beginning. If you crave upfront honesty and powerhouse guests who will fire you up with their wisdom (in an inspiring, constructive way), then this is your podcast.
Redefining what a “Woman’s Podcast” can be.
Listen everyone, there are LOTS of women’s podcasts out there, and that is great. But not all of them are interested in elevating us out of the traps of the still-very-alive patriarchy. This one IS. This podcast is vibrant, intelligent, engaging and SO practical. From finance to clothing to recovering from trauma, the help we need to run our lives is here. There is strength and power in what you will learn here. Spread the word to all the women in your life!
