We talk a lot about the day you give birth, but it's about so much more than that! It's about not only your physical health, but also your mental and emotional health. It's about how you're made to feel and how you are supported. It's about your baby, your family, and community.

Today's episode is inspired by a quote from Rachel Reed's book Reclaiming Childbirth as a Rite of Passage and it's something Hollie and Cheryl are both passionate about. Birth is a life changing event for everyone involved and it shouldn't be taken lightly. Invest your time, energy, and resources into preparing for this big day!

A majority of people deliver their baby in the hospital for a variety of reasons. Hollie and Robmikia discuss why they chose hospital births as well as how you can prepare for an amazing hospital birth. They also share tips about choosing a care provider, touring the hospital, and learning about what your options are.

Caren Nugent and Jaunitta Taylor have recently started hosting a postpartum support group in their area. They saw a need in their area and sought to find a way to fill it. They wanted to create a space where moms could come together and get the support they need as they navigate their way through motherhood. We wanted to learn how they organized it, how they found a location, how they've marketed and grew the group. This is such important work that they are doing as birth professionals and groups similar to this are amazing resources to new parents.

In the past year and half Melanie has attended all 3 of Birth Boot Camp's trainings becoming a childbirth educator, birth and postpartum doula. She shares why she chose to do that and how she did it! We also discussed how she has begun her work as a birth professional.

Today we discuss life as a birth professional and the on-call life. Most doulas tell us that this is the most difficult part of their job. Hillery shares how she is able to balance her work as a birth professional with being a mother and childcare. If birth work is something that you're interested in, but you're not sure how to make it work, listen for some of Hillery's tips.
