Episode 9 - Commemorate October 7th ~ #Metoo Unless Your An Israeli Woman
Saison 1 · Épisode 9
dimanche 6 octobre 2024 • Durée 16:18
Welcome to the Doulas Uncensored Podcast! Join hosts Sammy Griffin and Moran Liviani as they embark on this journey of exploration, education, and empowerment.
In this deeply personal solo episode, I commemorate the tragic events of October 7th and reflect on a year since the attacks. I confront the unsettling silence around the suffering of Israeli women in the aftermath of that day. As a mother, a Jewish woman, and an Israeli, I feel an urgent need to speak out against the failure of the feminist movement and #MeToo advocates to address this painful reality. As a birth doula, it has been especially heartbreaking to see fellow birth workers remain silent about the atrocities faced by Israeli women, as though saying, "Me Too—unless you’re Israeli." In this episode, I also share my family’s personal journey, the emotional weight we’ve carried, and the isolation of being far from Israel. With the lessons passed down from my Holocaust survivor grandparents, I remind us that silence in the face of injustice only lets it fester. Today, I break that silence and choose to speak up.
So, sit back, relax, and let's uncover the untold stories, insights, and wisdom together on Doulas Uncensored.

Episode 7 - Birth and Its Impact on Childhood Development ~ Emily Roper
Épisode 7
mardi 27 août 2024 • Durée 59:16
Welcome to the Doulas Uncensored Podcast! Join hosts Sammy Griffin and Moran Liviani as they embark on this journey of exploration, education, and empowerment.
In this episode, we speak with Emily Roper, a Neuro-Developmental Delay (NDD) therapist and midwife assistant from Colorado Springs.
Emily is the owner and founder of Early Roots. She has a background in psychology, midwifery, and neuro-developmental delay, combined with a personal and family history of learning difficulties, making her uniquely qualified to help children with neuro-developmental delays. Emily first became interested in NDD therapy after witnessing its positive impact on her cousin.
Emily graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. During her studies, she spent a month in Colorado interning under an NDD therapist at Anna’s House. During this internship, she learned about the significant impact that pregnancy and birth have on normal brain development.
"In all of my developmental classes, my professors spent a lot of time on pregnancy and brain development. It was not until later that I realized labor and birth also have a huge impact on brain development,” she notes.
In her senior year at UCO, Emily completed the necessary classes to become a childbirth doula. After college, she decided to further her education in midwifery. She was accepted into the Midwife’s Assistant Program at the Oklahoma Midwives Alliance and began a clinical apprenticeship at Community Midwifery Services.
Emily’s expertise in neuro-development and midwifery provides her with a unique perspective on birth and its significance in childhood development. In this episode, Emily discusses integrated reflexes and their ongoing effects on childhood development, particularly when children miss out on these reflexes due to birth interventions or modes of delivery. She also shares how women can support themselves and their babies during pregnancy through movement.
Emily’s book recommendation are:
Jordan Petersons ‘12 Rules for Life.’

Épisode 6
mardi 6 août 2024 • Durée 01:07:55
Welcome to the Doulas Uncensored Podcast! Join hosts Sammy Griffin and Moran Liviani as they embark on this journey of exploration, education, and empowerment.
In this episode Sammy and Moran delve into the topic of HypnoBirthing ~ Miracle Method or Mindset Myth
We discuss HypnoBirthing, a childbirth education method that emphasises deep relaxation, visualisation, and self-hypnosis to create a calm and natural birthing experience. Developed by Marie Mongan, HypnoBirthing promises benefits such as shorter labours, fewer interventions, and reduced pain. We'll explore the core principles of HypnoBirthing and what the program entails.
While HypnoBirthing is hailed by many as a transformative method, it also faces skepticism. We look at HypnoBirthing and its effectiveness and caution against unrealistic expectations. We'll discuss our thoughts on supporting HypnoBirthing with its many pros, as well as look at potential cons that we have seen with the program.
Whether you view HypnoBirthing as a miracle method or a mindset myth, this episode aims to provide a balanced perspective on its potential benefits and limitations.
So, sit back, relax, and let's uncover the untold stories, insights, and wisdom together on Doulas Uncensored.

Welcome to the Doulas Uncensored Podcast! Join hosts Sammy Griffin and Moran Liviani as they embark on this journey of exploration, education, and empowerment.
In this episode, we delve into the topic of trauma and its impact on pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Our guest, Philippa Scott, a mother of four daughters, is a dedicated advocate for better birthing experiences and consumer rights. Her activism was sparked in 2003 after facing challenges with fragmented care and limited information during her first birth. Determined to empower others, she trained as a Doula and founded "Friends of the Birth Centre Townsville" (FBCT) that same year. Serving as president until 2011, she was instrumental in the opening of the three-room Townsville Birth Centre within the Townsville Hospital in 2008.
Philippa has also been actively involved in consumer and citizen boards, created media projects, and facilitated free support groups. She chose homebirth for her last two daughters, and witnessing her granddaughter’s recent home birth further fuelled her commitment to improving birthing experiences.
Through her business Fantastic Futures Philippa supports parents in healing from birth and perinatal trauma, helping them to rewrite the unconscious scripts they pass on. She speaks on the podcast about TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process Therapy)
Philippa’s dedication to improving birthing experiences extends beyond her family. She is driven by a desire to create better outcomes for all, reflecting her unwavering passion and commitment to the cause.

Episode 4 - The Practicalities & Politics of Breastfeeding ~ Amberley Harris
Épisode 4
mardi 25 juin 2024 • Durée 01:00:28
Welcome to the Doulas Uncensored Podcast! Join hosts Sammy Griffin and Moran Liviani as they embark on this journey of exploration, education, and empowerment.
In this episode, we delve into the topic of breastfeeding and the unethical rise of formula marketing.
Our guest, Amberley Harris, is a Melbourne-based Registered Midwife (Endorsed) in private practice, running her own breastfeeding consultancy business. With over 12 years of experience working as a Midwife in both public and private hospital settings, Amberley is also a proud co-producer of two small humans. With a highly engaged audience of over 20k followers on social media, Amberley is a micro-influencer in the world of motherhood and maternal wellness. She transitioned to entrepreneurship for two reasons: to make significant, impactful changes to global breastfeeding statistics and to incorporate philanthropy into her journey.
Over the past four years, Amberley has been filming a breastfeeding documentary, which has taken her to many different countries for research. This global perspective gives her a unique insight into what is working well internationally and why Australian breastfeeding rates haven't risen since the 90s, despite ample evidence of breastfeeding benefits.
In this episode, we discuss the fact that the global infant and toddler food market is projected to reach $120 billion US by 2030. Between 2010 and 2020, global sales in the infant and toddler feeding sector grew from $33.2 billion US to $67.9 billion US, with infant formula historically representing the majority of this. However, toddler formula has now taken over the higher percentage of these sales. The advertisements of toddler formula seem to have changed the landscape of how formula companies are able to get their brands into households.
Amberley references some documentaries in this podcast, including Black Fish, Seaspiracy, and My Octopus Teacher.
