Relaxation Practice for Labor
Relaxation might sound like the boring part of birth prep, but it’s actually the secret weapon nobody takes seriously until they’re mid-contraction wishing they’d practiced. 😅 In this episode I walk you through the exact relaxation practice I did with my own husband before my babies, step by step, so you can literally start tonight. We get into why relaxation is a skill you train (not something you’re just born good at), how to use your senses to teach your body to let go on command, the “s...

Birth Story: Unmedicated, Spiritual, and Supportive Hospital Birth with Justina & Kace Knowles
I shared this incredible birth story back in 2022, and it’s one that has stayed in my heart because of how much faith carried this couple through. Justina and Kace are proof that when you prepare your mind and your heart alongside your body, everything just feels different. If you need a boost of “my body can do this today,” this is your episode. ❤️ Justina went into her first birth determined to go unmedicated, and she leaned HARD on three things: her preparation, her husband, and her fait...

Why "At Least You Have a Healthy Baby" Isn't Enough with Dr. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett
Your birth doesn't have to look dramatic from the outside for it to have affected you deeply. You can have a "textbook" birth and healthy baby and still walk away replaying it at 2am, feeling like something wasn't right, like nobody was really listening to you. And if that's you, you are not being dramatic, and you are not ungrateful. You're human. I sat down with Dr. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett — a health psychologist and board-certified lactation consultant who has spent her entire career res...

Birth Story: Unmedicated, Hospital Birth with Sally Steffy
Some stories are too tender and too good to leave sitting in the archives, and Sally's is one of them. Sally shares her unmedicated hospital birth, and she does it gracefully, while her sweet grandpa had passed away just days before she went into labor. Her story is a powerful picture of the goodness of God woven through both grief and joy, all in the same week. We talk about how giving birth brought her and her husband closer than ever, and the little things she brought to the hospita...

Are You Pushing Wrong? What Your Pelvic Floor REALLY Needs for Birth with Dr. Sara Reardon
What if the way you’re told to push during birth isn’t actually the whole story? And what if leaking, pelvic pain, painful sex, or feeling like your body just never fully recovered after having a baby aren’t things you simply have to live with? In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Sara Reardon, aka The Vagina Whisperer — a board-certified pelvic floor therapist with 20 years of experience — to talk about the part of your body that plays a HUGE role in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery...

Birth Story: What If I Can’t Handle Labor? How Mental Preparation & Support Can Change Your Birth
I love a good birth story, but this one has a little something extra. Taryn's not just telling you what happened, she's showing you how much the mental side of birth really matters AND what she did to prepare - which is the most valuable part! She'd gone into her first two births thinking "I'm tough, I've got this," and learned the hard way that toughness isn't the same as being prepared. (join the club 😉) So the third time, she did it differently. I first aired this back in 2023 and to-date...

Preeclampsia, Protein & What Your Early Labs Are Really Telling You with Sarah Thompson
Sarah's whole world is focused on YOU — the mama. Because here's the truth we talked about: your baby can be healthy and you can still be sick. And nobody's really watching for that. Sarah Thompson is a functional medicine provider who specializes in maternity care. And here's the thing that makes her work so different: most prenatal care is focused on your baby. We got into the stuff I think every pregnant mama deserves to understand, especially the things that are often preventa...

Birth Story: Not Asking for Permission & Preparing for Her Unmedicated Birth with Jo Gibson
This first aired in March 2023 and became one of my most downloaded birth stories. Once you hear Jo's "ask forgiveness, not permission" approach, you'll understand exactly why. Jo Gibson is an army wife. Her closest family lives nine hours away. Her insurance meant she had to give birth in a hospital, with a rotating team of midwives she'd never met before — and no real option to switch providers. On paper, that's a tough setup for the unmedicated birth she wanted. But Jo did something...
