Ep. 46: The Truth About Doulas (And Why Every Woman Should Have One) with Erica Manto Paulson

What does a doula actually do, and why does it matter so much? In this episode, Alex sits down with Erica Manto Paulson, certified Doula + the Founder and CEO of Nurture, to break down the real role of a doula and how it’s completely different from a midwife or an OB. With nearly two decades of experience supporting over 1,000 births, Erica shares the research-backed truth: having a doula can significantly improve outcomes in any kind of birth. They also get a little deeper into the power of birth stories, why your experience stays with you for life, and how sharing it can impact generations of women to come. This is a conversation about support, agency, and why no woman should go through birth feeling alone!
