Episode 40 | Suzanne Arms
In this episode Broderick speaks with Suzanne Arms. Suzanne is an international speaker, teacher, author, photojournalist, visionary and grass roots activist for progressive social change. For nearly fifty years, Suzanne Arms has been a respected and familiar name to many women, parents, midwives and health care activists around the world because of her 7 groundbreaking books, films, photographs, the hundreds of keynote talks she’s given at conferences on 5 continents. In 1975, her 2nd book, Immaculate Deception: A new Look at Women and Childbirth, was named a New York Times “Best Book” of the Year and ignited a movement. Her work – and focus of Birthing The Future®, the non-profit/charity she founded – centers around the “primal period”, the roots of love and violence, preventing early trauma, and creating peaceful, healthy societies. The key, she teaches, is to transform how we brings humans into the world and “hard-wire” the brain, to empower women and foster strong mother-baby bonds, so that we can become a species based in trust and cooperation rather than fear, defense, aggression, illness, loneliness and despair.
