005: Starting from Experience - Prioritizing How Life Feels Over How it Looks

006: Trust Your Gut: Birth, Business, and Becoming with Brittany Higgins

In this episode of Feed Your Flame, Callie sits down with Brittany Higgins — birth doula, former labor and delivery nurse, Reiki practitioner, and known on Instagram as @britt.the.birth.doula. After more than a decade working inside the hospital system, Brittany began asking a question that would ultimately change the direction of her life: Why? Why are some birth practices considered standard when they aren’t always evidence-based? Why are women often discouraged from trusting their instincts during birth? And why do so many professionals stay in roles that look successful on paper but feel misaligned in reality? Through her own birth experience and years of witnessing the system from the inside, Brittany realized there was another way she could serve women — one rooted in education, advocacy, and trust in the body’s wisdom. In this conversation, Brittany shares the journey of leaving bedside nursing to build a thriving doula business, the mindset shifts required to walk away from a traditional career path, and the courage it takes to redefine success on your own terms. Together, Callie and Brittany explore how the same lesson applies to both birth and life: your intuition often knows the truth long before your brain catches up. This episode is for anyone navigating a major life transition, questioning the path they’ve been told to follow, or learning how to listen to that quiet inner voice that says there might be another way.
