For Your Ears
From my own experience as a mother and doula, I believe in the power of stories, music, and information to nurture and empower you on your journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Whether you are expecting, preparing for labor, or navigating the early weeks and months of parenthood, this collection of curated playlists is designed to support you every step of the way.
Staying informed is one of the best ways to prepare for the transformative experience of childbirth and parenthood. Here are some podcast episodes that cover essential topics for parents-to-be:
You can find a selection of inspirational podcast episodes (ENG, GER and SP) here.
Listening to birth stories can be incredibly empowering. They offer a glimpse into the diverse experiences of other parents, providing inspiration, reassurance, and sometimes even a good laugh. Often, even well-intended advice can be overwhelming, especially when many people tend to share their negative experiences and fears around birth—often without asking for consent first. On the other hand, positive birth stories can be a form of medicine, offering incredibly empowering perspectives that counterbalance the fear and uncertainty.

Music can be a powerful tool for relaxation, motivation, and emotional support during labor. I've curated a birth playlist that reflects a range of moods and tempos to match the different stages of labor. Whether you need calming melodies to soothe you or upbeat tracks to keep your energy high, this playlist has you covered.

I hope this collection of podcasts and playlists brings you comfort, strength, and wisdom as you embark on your journey to parenthood. Remember, you are not alone—a whole community is here to support you. At mamacura, I offer a full spectrum of doula services designed to support you holistically throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, ensuring you receive personalized care every step of the way while fostering a loving and supportive community of young families.
Happy listening, and may your journey be filled with peace and joy.
Warmly,
Clara
