In this first episode of the MomPowered Birth Podcast, Phyllis Herbe talks about what it really means to feel prepared for birth — without overwhelm, fear, or information overload.

This conversation focuses on mental readiness, steady confidence, and having just enough knowledge to feel calm and capable when it matters most.

You’ll hear about:

• What actually impacts labor
• Physical vs mental preparation
• Why every birth is a different experience
• How support changes in late pregnancy
• What moms often wish they had focused on more

This episode isn’t about controlling birth — it’s about trusting yourself inside of it.

If you’re in the second half of pregnancy and wondering if you’re truly prepared, this episode is for you.
