Join the My Essential Birth Course by Nov 7 and get TWO exclusive bonuses: The Belly Mapping Guide + Partner Belly Binding Video! Help your baby get into the best position for birth and support your healing postpartum.

You’ve been prepping for birth, but with so much conflicting advice, it’s easy to feel nervous or unprepared… and you’re not alone! In this episode, I’m breaking down what most people don’t tell you about getting ready for labor — from birth myths and epidurals to baby positioning, mindset, and practical ways to feel confident no matter how your birth unfolds.

We’re covering what really matters during birth prep, including how to:
 • Spot the signs of active labor and plan for support
 • Understand epidurals, pain, and movement — what providers often don’t mention
 • Influence your baby’s position safely during pregnancy
 • Use mindset, flexibility, and planning to stay calm and confident
 • Prepare your birth partner to truly be your rock in the delivery room
 • Focus on three simple, actionable things you can start today to feel ready

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I ready for this?” or “What actually matters for a smooth birth?” — this episode is for you. It’s honest, empowering, and full of practical tips to help you feel informed AND ready for your best birth yet!

Is My Baby on Track? What Every Mom Should Know About Milestones, Feeding & Early Development29 Oct 202500:42:21

Join the My Essential Birth Course by Nov 7 and get TWO exclusive bonuses: The Belly Mapping Guide + Partner Belly Binding Video! Help your baby get into the best position for birth and support your healing postpartum.

You know your baby better than anyone — but when it comes to milestones, feeding, or development, it’s easy to second-guess yourself...and you're not alone! In this episode, I’m joined by Jordyn Gorman of Eat, Play, Say — a pediatric therapist and mama who helps parents support their baby’s growth holistically.

We’re covering baby milestones, early intervention, starting solids, feeding confidence, and how to trust your mama gut. If you’ve wondered, “Is my baby on track?” or “Should I start solids yet?” — this one’s for you, mama.

In this episode:
• When to trust your gut vs. seek early intervention (and it’s free in the U.S.)
• How to know if baby is ready for solids — and what to start with
• Breastfeeding, bottle-feeding & formula facts for confident feeding choices
• High-protein, nutrient-dense foods for babies who need more calories
• Why play is the most powerful tool for development (ages 0–5)
• The impact of screens & distraction on early childhood development
• How to advocate for your child when something feels “off”

From feeding to milestones, this episode is your guide to understanding your baby’s whole-body development — and trusting your instincts every step of the way.

“After 4 Years of ‘Unexplained Infertility,’ Two Pink Lines: The Nutrition Shift That Changed Everything27 Aug 202500:57:19

Four years of infertility.
Two failed IUIs.
A spot on the IVF waitlist.

And then… six months after shifting her food and lifestyle with PrimalBod (use code MEB100 for $100 off if you want to try it!), Dominique’s story took a turn she’ll never forget: two pink lines in an Airbnb, before a wedding, shoving the test in her husband’s face while he was still scrolling his phone. (ICONIC.)

This conversation is part raw honesty, part “wait, why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?”, and fully a reminder that your body is powerful when you give it what it actually needs.

Dominique doesn’t hold back about the tears, the supplements, the trial-and-error, and the eventual breakthrough. And she shares the exact shifts that cleared her brain fog, steadied her energy, reduced pain, and ultimately supported fertility.

This episode is a love letter to women in the thick of the fertility journey.

Birth Story: Unmedicated First-Time Birth During a Georgia Snowstorm20 Aug 202500:43:47

What happens when your due date collides with a snowstorm in Georgia?

When I first connected with Abby, I knew her birth story was going to be special, but GAH!! It’s so good and I just know it’s going to inspire every mama listening. As a first-time mom, she navigated early bloody show, a surprise snowstorm, and nearly three days of labor with an amazing, calm, grounded intuition that’s absolutely contagious.

From the nausea that knocked her off her feet in the first trimester to the “crunchy-meets-medical” compromise she and her husband made for a hospital birth with a doula, we walked through the nitty gritty of pregnancy and labor, the most common issues every couples deal with for pregnancy & birth, and the incredible birth story she gets to share with all of you. You’ll hear:

  • The physical prep (yes, we’re talking deep squats in the shower and red raspberry leaf tea) and the mental prep that helped her stay strong through every stage.

  • Why breaking her water (something she didn’t plan to do) ended up being the right call.

  • How her husband and doula worked together with a “third-party consent” rule that kept her fully in control. 

  • That unforgettable moment she reached down and felt her baby’s head for the first time.

  • Why she believes her unmedicated birth shaped her beautiful postpartum experience and lasting confidence as a mom.

Postpartum Healing Without the Pressure to “Bounce Back” with Dr. Jessica London13 Aug 202500:41:10

No one told me that postpartum recovery isn’t just about “getting back to normal.” It’s about rebuilding from the inside out, pelvic floor, core, energy, mindset, and that what you do (and don’t do) in those early days matters more than you think.

That’s why I brought Dr. Jessica London, pelvic floor therapist and mama’s best friend in recovery, on the podcast to walk you through exactly what’s happening in your body and how to move forward, without overdoing it. (And she was kind enough to share her Core Recovery Guide with our community!) 

Postpartum healing is deeply connected to how you move, rest, and nourish yourself right now. Pushing too hard can set you back, but intentional movement, pelvic floor awareness, and smart recovery practices can actually make you stronger than before. Whether you’re 2 days, 2 months, or 2 years postpartum, this episode gives you a roadmap for recovery that lasts.

Breastfeeding Confidence: Preparing for a Positive Experience with Little Bear Lactation06 Aug 202501:03:57

"You probably shouldn’t learn how to swim when you're drowning." That one hit me hard—and it’s exactly why this episode exists.

Whether you’re a first-time mama, or you’ve had a difficult breastfeeding journey before, this conversation is going to leave you feeling empowered, educated, and supported. I sat down with Jamie Zaki, an IBCLC, doula, nurse, and mom of five (yes, five!), to talk about how to prepare for breastfeeding before baby arrives.

Jamie shares her real, raw postpartum story—including giving up her nursing school seat due to lack of pumping accommodations—and how it sparked her passion to support other mamas through education and advocacy. This episode is full of truth bombs, prep tips, and gentle reminders that you are not alone—and it can be different this time.
