Have you ever wondered what it’s like to navigate pregnancy after loss and advocate for the care you truly deserve?

In this episode, I sit down with Alicia, who shares her powerful story of resilience and empowerment. After experiencing the heartbreak of pregnancy loss and feeling dismissed by a system of rushed OB appointments and impersonal care, Alicia took control of her birth journey. A horrible ER experience during pregnancy was a turning point, leading her to switch providers late in the game and explore the option of homebirth.

We’ll cover:

• How Alicia advocated for herself after facing impersonal care and a pushy OB.
• The challenges of navigating pregnancy after loss and finding a supportive provider.
• Why switching to homebirth was the best decision for Alicia, leading to an empowering and transformative experience.

Alicia’s story is a testament to the power of trusting your instincts, advocating for your needs, and taking charge of your birth experience. If you’re ready to feel inspired and empowered by her journey, then this episode is for you!

Have you ever wondered what it would take to truly trust the natural process of birth and challenge the status quo of the healthcare system?

In this episode, I sit down with Brianna, an advocate for change in the U.S. healthcare system, particularly in the world of childbirth and maternity care. Growing up with the experience of home births—including catching her younger sibling—Brianna never saw birth as something to fear. Her own research and experience with home birth only deepened her belief in the beauty and power of natural birth.

We’ll cover:

• The reality of how the healthcare industry profits from unnecessary childbirth interventions.
• Why stepping outside the system helped Brianna see birth as a beautiful, natural process.
• How growing up with home births and catching her sibling shaped her fearless perspective on birth.
• The role of powerful resources like Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way and Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth in reshaping our mindset about birth.
• Why birth is meant to be a challenge—and how embracing that challenge leads to empowerment.

Brianna’s story and mission to create meaningful content around healthcare reform and natural birth is one you don’t want to miss. If you’re ready to rethink childbirth, embrace its challenges, and step into your power, then this episode is for you!

We'll cover:

✨ The true meaning of informed consent

✨ Your right to refuse interventions

✨ & why you should challenge statements like "that's not allowed" from your care provider. 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone preparing for birth, especially if you're navigating the hospital system!

On this episode, Shyanne shares her first birth story - which was a beautiful homebirth! Shyanne and her husband welcomed their first baby this past July in their living room! She has always wanted a homebirth, and she feels extremely blessed to have found an amazing team to support her through it all. It was amazing to hear her describe that her pain never got super intense, she truly had the dream birth.

Shyanne was in denial that her labor could be moving so quickly, but she was happily surprised! This is such a positive, peaceful homebirth story and exactly what I wish every mama could experience. You do not want to miss this episode!

Shyanne shares that homebirth is NOT illegal in the state of North Carolina but it is VERY difficult because CPMs are not legal. Go to ncforcpm.org to learn more and help fight for CPMs in North Carolina!

Guys, you do not want to miss these stories! These two stories come from Abhinaya, a creative at heart and a seeker at the core. She says that entering into motherhood has been extremely pivotal in understanding herself more, and listening to positive birth stories absolutely changed the trajectory of their on births. 

Her first birth took place in a hospital and although she did do it unmedicated, the policies and procedures that took place still left her feeling like there had to be a better way. She planned a homebirth for her second but was transferred to the hospital, where she remained in control and empowered! 

Her story is a story of strength. She had an amazing birth despite it going differently than she originally wanted, and it goes to show that even though you plan for your birth to go a certain way, you need to be prepared to run into hiccups.

I hope you love this episode as much as I do, please share and rate the show! If you want to come on the podcast and share your story, feel free to DM me.

I’m diving into a topic that I’m incredibly passionate about—informed consent. If you’ve been following my journey, you might remember my first birth story from episode two, where some pretty shocking things happened. From having my water broken without my consent to an episiotomy performed without even a heads-up, my experience left me determined to ensure that no other woman has to go through what I did.

In this episode, we’ll explore what informed consent really means and why it’s so crucial for your birth experience. We’ll break down scenarios like epidural decisions, labor inductions, and even Cesarean sections, showing you exactly how to advocate for yourself and make empowered choices. I’ll also share real-life examples and tips on how to ensure you’re fully informed and in control of every decision during your pregnancy and birth.

We will cover:

• Empowering Your Birth
• Know Your Rights
• Personal Stories

Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned parent, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you navigate your birth with confidence and peace of mind.

I'm sitting down with my friend Ann Morris, an amazing doula near Atlanta, GA. She shares her first two birth stories while awaiting her third sweet baby!

Her first birth was a planned hospital birth and her second was a beautiful, empowering homebirth. 

Ann's stories are so similar to mine, she went into her first birth with not a lot of knowledge of options and that led her to researching more about birth and deciding that there was a better way.

Have you ever wondered how to navigate the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with pregnancy after loss?

In this deeply personal episode, I share my story of pregnancy and birth after loss—the story of my rainbow baby, my dream homebirth, and the complex mix of grief and joy that shaped it all. Pregnancy after loss is not the same as a first-time pregnancy; it’s filled with anxiety, fear, and moments of overwhelming guilt.

We’ll cover:

• The unique challenges and emotions of pregnancy after experiencing loss.
• Why fear and anxiety can overshadow even the most joyful moments—and how to process them.
• How I found healing and empowerment through my homebirth journey.

If you’re pregnant after loss, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and I want you to know there’s support and understanding waiting for you. Reach out—I’d love to support you!
