Communication & Safety During Pregnancy
In this episode, Dr. Brandie sits down with doula Jackie Kelleher, who brings 30 years of experience supporting women through pregnancy and birth. Together, they explore how emotional safety—or the lack of it—shapes birth outcomes, and why genuine connection with a partner often matters more than perfect preparation.
