163 | 4 steps to your BOSS birth, how to have an unmedicated hospital birth26 Aug 202400:28:03

Hundreds of women have used the boss birth method to have the unmedicated birth of their dreams. First time moms, second time moms, even fifth time moms!! YOu can have a powerful birth where you feel prepared, informed, and empowered to birth YOUR WAY even in the hospital. And here are the four things you need to know to get your dream birth too.

You’ll learn…

  • The most challenging part of having an unmedicated hospital birth and how the level of support can vary greatly from hospital to hospital.
  • How the basic birth prep is not enough for the typical hospital birth mom, and my story of getting lucky with my first birth.
  • Skip the trial and error of birth and instead prepare for your next birth to be the best it can be.
  • The four steps to having a boss birth, exactly what you need to know and prepare to have an unmedicated hospital birth




162 | Physiologic birth from start to finish, avoid all the interventions that come once you feel pushy too 06 Aug 202400:20:09

In my experience hospital staff tend to be more supporting of a natural, hands off birth in the first stage of labor. They may still push for pitocin or cervical checks, but they still tend to leave you to labor on your own. And all that changes once a mom hits transition or starts to feel pushy, then even the most hans off birth may turn intervention heavy.

You'll learn:

  • What it means to support physiology and how walking into the hospital disrupts natural labor.
  • The stages of labor and the difference between interventions from beginning to end.
  • The three things you must know to support physiology at any stage or birth.

153 | Will cervical exams change my birth? A risk and benefit analysis of cervical checks14 Jun 202400:34:32

How are cervical checks going to affect my labor? I know something as small and simple as a cervical exam doesn’t seem like much of an interruption to the labor process, but it actually is. When we introduce pain, tension, or fear into labor it can cause labor to stall and make it harder for you to access your coping tools. And let’s flip the script, I actually would love for you to think of cervical exams as small and insignificant in actually helping labor, because there are truly no benefits to including multiple cervical checks in birth.

In this episode I discuss:

  • A risk and benefit analysis of using cervical checks in labor so you can make an informed choice on if you want to include them in your birth or not.
  • In home births we don’t typically see cervical exams unless the mother requests them, and how requesting a cervical exam shows some doubt in your body’s ability to birth.
  • The story of a mom who dilated from 2 to 10 cm in an hour and the mom who stayed dilated to 5 cm for a whole week.
  • When to expect cervical exams as part of your prenatal care and exactly when ones you can decline.

Oxytocin drives your orgasm and your birth19 Sep 202300:17:55

Let's talk about the big O. This episode is all about oxytocin and orgasm and where you should give birth.


In this episode I cover:

Episode 77: Birth centers aren't what they seem

@the_birth_house OXYTOCIN reel

77: Birth centers aren't what they seem14 Sep 202300:28:15

Birth centers aren’t always what they seem. It’s common for women to choose a birth center for all the things the homebirth has to offer without being at home, but then they get a kind of typical hospital birth experience. In this episode I go over the big differences between homebirth, birth centers and the hospital in terms of what is the most supportive of physiologic birth.


In this episode I talk about:

-Why homebirth is the gold standard of birth locations, and the orgasm analogy proves it

-Some reasons why moms may chose a birth center or hospital birth, and two reason I think are BS

-The wide spectrum of birth centers and what you may experience with them

-HOw to have a more homebirth style hospital birth

152 | Pitocin almost always leads to an epidural10 Jun 202400:19:45

Saying yes to an induction, or pitocin, is like saying yes to an epidural. Once you start pitocin your birth is medicalized and that includes a higher chance of wanting the epidural.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • How pitocin and oxytocin are the same chemical compound but work very very differently in or bodies.
  • If you had pitocin in the past and it felt like your birth was out of control, it was. Pitocin means your birth is being control outside your body.
  • Starting pitocin can mean that your coping skills are less accessible which can lead to an unwanted epidural.

151 | Why doulas don’t want to be certified06 Jun 202400:27:39

Just like with all things birth we are talking about the risks and benefits, pros and cons of doula certification, and insurance reimbursement today. This is a must listen if you are a doula, or thinking of becoming one, or if you are a mom wanting to hire a doula.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • Recent posts from Elite Doula Training on new legislatures from Texas and Ohio that are trying to control doulas and that can have a big impact on how your doula can support you.
  • The motives behind certification agencies, lawmakers and hospital systems work together, and it’s not to benefit you.
  • Examples of rules and regulations that doula certification programs and insurance companies put on doulas, and the parallels to how the medical system stole midwifery.
  • What you can do as a doula and as a mom to opt out of doula regulations from your state or hospital.

150 | My hospital seems supportive of natural birth, be prepared for everything02 Jun 202400:24:56

Thinking, hoping, and assuming your hospital is going to be supportive of your natural birth is not enough. And thankfully there is a lot that you can do to take control of the situation so that you are prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • The two ends of the spectrum, a hospital that is 100% on board with your birth plan, no questions asked versus the most coercive and manipulative of hospitals.
  • How being informed and educated on birth and your rights will change your birth experience in hospitals with varying levels of support.
  • How being empowered means you do not let anyone tell you want to do, including me!
  • An amazing hospital birth story of a positive induction of labor without an epidural.
