Episode 111: The Importance of Birth Stories: Interview with Katharina Tolle

Written By Amanda Gorman

Thank you so much for listening. In today’s show we are going to be talking about the validity of all birth stories and the importance of talking about and sharing birth stories. Our guest to discuss this today is Katharina Tolle and she describes herself as a writer of individual birth stories: her mantra is that every story is worth to be told. Every mom should have a safe space to talk about everything that happened -- from orgasmic to traumatic birth experiences. And every mom should have the option to have her story written down as a story of trust, love, and compassion.

In this episode we discuss: 

  • The importance of sharing birth stories

  • Why it is important and gratifying to tell your birth story to someone

  • Katharina’s process of writing individual birth stories for families

  • The power of processing your birth story
