In this tender and powerful episode of Hot + Brave, I’m joined by Jillian Marchand, founder of Exploring Embodiment, for a deep dive into breathwork, reproductive health, and the cultural disconnection so many of us carry in our womb space. We talk about how shame, trauma, and discomfort get stored in the body and how breath can be a gentle way home. Jillian shares accessible tools for shifting your relationship with your womb and honoring your body as sacred, even when it’s hard.

Jillian is a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, Reiki Master, and the heart behind Exploring Embodiment. Learn more about her work at https://exploringembodiment.square.site

We also cover:

• What breathwork offers us when talk therapy falls short
• Cultural messaging that distances us from the pelvic space
• How to meet discomfort without collapsing into it
• Practical ways to reconnect with your body, even after trauma

This one’s especially for birth workers, doulas, and anyone who has felt numb, angry, or ashamed of their body. There’s healing here.

Early bird is now open for our Maternal Support Practitioner training and you can use the code BIRTHBIRD for big savings (yes, it works on payment plans). www.bebomia.com/doulatraining

I’ll also be speaking next week at the Collaborative Birth Conference in London, Ontario - if you entered our giveaway for a free virtual ticket, we’re announcing the winner later today!

In this episode of Hot + Brave, Bianca breaks down the essential (but often overlooked) topic of backup doulas: how to choose one, how to be one, and why this role is a vital part of building a sustainable, ethical doula practice.

We’re covering:

• What makes a great backup doula
• How to prep your clients without fear
• Setting clear agreements, payment terms, and expectations
• Why having a backup isn’t flaky—it’s professional care
• How to build trust inside your doula community

This episode is perfect for birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and students in doula training who want to feel more prepared, connected, and supported in their work.

In this episode of Hot + Brave, we’re joined by Anna Lundqvist of Sacred Birth International (www.sacredbirthinternational.com) to explore one of the most profound and often overlooked shifts in a woman’s life: the transition from maiden to mother. Anna shares how birth can be reclaimed as a sacred rite of passage, what gets lost in our over-medicalized systems, and how we can honor the deep emotional, spiritual, and personal transformation that comes with becoming a mother.

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or walking alongside others as a birth worker, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, remember, and reconnect to your own rites of becoming.
