Conversations with Dr. Cowan & Friends | Ep 95: Eyla Cuenca
In this eye-opening conversation, Tom speaks with birth and postpartum doula Eyla Cuenca about the hidden crisis in modern birth culture—what happens after the baby is born.
Together, they explore:
- What a doula really does (and how it differs from midwifery)
- Why postpartum care is missing from conventional models
- How birth trauma, tech culture, and convenience parenting disconnect women from their babies
- The rise of postpartum depression and its real root causes
- How to support mothers in restoring their intuition, confidence, and bond with their child
- The importance of inner healing for doulas and mothers alike
- Why well-baby visits, milestone charts, and feeding schedules may do more harm than good
