Gabrielle Nancarrow on the courage to be vulnerable




Moving Inward show

Summary: There is power in people and places that hold us when we are at our most vulnerable. Gabrielle Nancarrow is a birth and pregnancy loss doula, circle holder and the founder of Gather, an inclusive space for women and non-binary people to come together and witness one another's journeys. It's a special place. As you'll hear in this conversation, Gabrielle came to this work from a sense of deep inner knowing that the culture and expectations that she was encountering while pregnant were not serving her, and it inspired a shift in her life and career to retrain as a doula to help women and to hold safe spaces. This episode centres around about the power of growing quiet to listen to the deep well of wisdom within, of community care and of allowing ourselves to be held by others - particularly when we're at our most vulnerable. It's a heartfelt, warm and tender conversation.
