    Episode 96: Advocating for Yourself During Pregnancy, Delivery & Informed Consent w/ Nicole Angus

    Welcome back to the show. Today’s episode is one I wish every pregnant woman could hear before she ever steps foot in a provider’s office or hospital room. We’re talking about self-advocacy during pregnancy and birth — and what every woman needs to know about informed consent. Because here’s the truth: Pregnancy does not cancel your autonomy.Being in labor does not erase your rights.And wearing a hospital gown does not mean you surrender your voice. Let’s get into it. Nicole Angus BIO: Nicole Angus is the founder of Rooted Success Solutions, where she partners with naturopathic doctors and wellness professionals to strengthen their business operations, marketing systems, and patient communication. She is passionate about helping purpose-driven practitioners build sustainable, impactful practices that truly serve their communities.   Before launching her business, Nicole trained and worked as a licensed birth doula, supporting women through pregnancy and childbirth. While she is not currently practicing as an active doula, she remains deeply connected to maternal health education and continues to advocate for informed consent, patient autonomy, and women feeling confident in medical spaces.   Her unique perspective bridges both worlds — understanding the clinical environment from the provider side and the vulnerability of patients from firsthand birth support experience. Nicole believes that empowering women to advocate for themselves during pregnancy and birth creates stronger families, healthier outcomes, and more collaborative relationships between patients and providers.   If you are interested in contacting Nicole and learning how she can help your business with social media or marketing email her at nicole@rootedsuccesssolutions.com  Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.
