Podcast
Tend and Befriend
Honest conversations. Real stories. Wholehearted support.
Tend and Befriend is a podcast for women and the people who love them — a place to find answers, feel seen, and walk through every season of womanhood with more confidence and care. From fertility to postpartum, mental health to physical healing, we explore the full spectrum of what it means to be well.
Hosted by Deborah, a longtime doula, massage therapist, and maternal care practitioner who listens to women’s stories every single day — this podcast is built on deep empathy, practical knowledge, and a fierce commitment to changing the way we care for women.
Each episode features either a heartfelt story from someone who’s walked the path of pregnancy, birth, or healing — or a trusted health professional offering insight, solutions, and compassion.
Our goal is to shift the standard of care for women: away from statistics alone and toward lived experience, body awareness, and choice. Whether you’re seeking support, guidance, or simply a moment of connection, Tend and Befriend is here to walk beside you.
Vision
-
We hope to create a space where love and knowledge can be available to mamas and their families in every experience. Courageous sharing of birth, pregnancy, menopause, health issues and other traumas can inspire women to get the answers that they deserve. I feel called to hold space for women to connect, transform and remember how worthy and powerful our gender can be. The purpose of our podcast is to shine light on the day to day difficulties of working within our very underfunded, under publicized standard of care for pregnant & postpartum women, With the hopes of bringing together a community of women and a network of health care providers who are struggling through diagnosis and treatment processes to guide women in the challenging stages of their life. Bringing awareness to the standard of care for pregnant and postpartum women at all times is necessary!
