This week, we’re cracking open Lights Out by Navessa Allen and letting the spice flow. Join us as we dive into this steamy read and talk all things smut, intimacy, and reclaiming your sensual self — especially in the postpartum chapter of life. From blushing scenes to real-life libido lows (and highs!), we’re keeping it honest, hilarious, and just the right amount of unhinged. Book club has never been so hot.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Patrick Boswell—licensed acupuncturist, birth doula, and passionate advocate for integrative care—to explore the incredible intersection of acupuncture and birthwork.

We dive into how acupuncture supports fertility, pregnancy, labor prep, and postpartum recovery, as well as Patrick’s unique experience providing acupuncture in hospital settings. He shares what it’s like being a man in the birth world, the gifts and challenges that come with that role, and how he supports birthing people through presence, energy, and expertise.

Plus, you’ll hear the beautiful story of Dr. Meg’s birth, told through the eyes of a doula deeply involved in the journey.

Whether you’re a birthworker, a parent-to-be, or just curious about how Eastern medicine blends with modern birth care, this episode is packed with insight, heart, and healing.

📚 Romantasy, Memoirs, and the Party Girl Book Club — Let’s Talk Books!

In today’s episode, we’re taking a fun detour from motherhood and wellness to obsess over our latest hyperfixation: BOOKS.

Dr. Hickey proudly introduced Dr. Abby to the world of romantasy — and let’s just say, she took off running. Dr. Abby (who, important note, has no kids) has now devoured Fourth Wing, ACOTAR, and Throne of Glass in every possible format.

Meanwhile, Dr. Meg is keeping us grounded with her love for raw, real stories and has launched the Party Girl Book Club, a space where memoirs meet meaningful conversation and just the right amount of chaos.

And of course, Dr. Ary is along for the ride, offering her own takes, laughs, and a few strong book opinions

Whether you’re here for dragons, fae, or deep emotional growth — this episode is your new favorite bookish escape.

From epic poopsplosions in public to the nail-clipping incident that left emotional scars (mostly for mom), this episode dives headfirst into the hilarious and humbling world of mom fails. We’re sharing the messy, the mortifying, and the moments we probably shouldn’t admit—but absolutely are.

Pour a lukewarm coffee, hide in the bathroom, and come laugh (and cringe) with us.

We talk about what it’s like to put on a smile for friends and loved ones getting pregnant when you aren’t, what not to say to someone trying to conceive and why more honest conversations like this are so needed!
