EP: 104

Feeling overwhelmed even though you’ve done all the research? You’re not alone — and this episode is here to clear things up. Stephanie Poole (doula, lactation consultant, and birth prep expert) breaks down the real reason you still feel unprepared for birth — and what you actually need to feel calm, confident, and ready for labor.

In this no-fluff, straight-talking episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why ā€œjust trust your bodyā€ isn’t enough (and what to do instead)
  • The truth about the ā€œresearch spiralā€
  • Why memorizing stages of labor won’t help in the moment
  • What embodied preparation looks like — and why it’s a game-changer
  • A sneak peek into real birth prep that actually works

Whether you're giving birth in a hospital, at home, or in a birthing center, this episode will help you shift from anxious to empowered — no more spiraling at 1AM.
