  • The power of mindset
    Aug 2 2022

    Today's guest, Korena Darnelle, is a native of one of the most influential island developing states in our region, Barbados. Korena is a singer, writer, birth and lifestyle photographer and a fellow podcaster. Korena is one of two Caribbean women I've interviewed this season who have so masterfully scripted their experiences of pregnancy and birth.

    Listen as she gives us a tease of what's in store in her publication: Gimme a Home Birth: The Birth Story I Didn't Expect.

  • Part 2: Her light can never be dimmed - Welcome baby Luke!
    Jul 26 2022

    Hi guys! It's the second part of Amoy's story and I can't wait for you to have a listen. We hear how giving birth has changed her outlook on life, yes, I promise you, it's not all a bed of roses. She's open about her challenges with breastfeeding and not giving up despite not finding the kind of support she would have expected from traditional medicine.

    If you're a new mom struggling with breastfeeding Amoy gives some invaluable tips on what to look out for even when you seem to be doing all the right things but still experiencing pain. Amoy also describes how she continues to power through emotions of extreme joy with the birth of her son, while experiencing tremendous grief with the loss of her mother.
