It felt right to get vulnerable and talk about a scary experience of mine recently.

I was in a severe boating accident, which led to an overnight hospital stay and a LOT of self-advocacy.

This episode is different than my typical pods, it's raw and it's real AF.

I hope you'll learn some things from hearing my story- and I thank you for giving me a platform to share a big moment in my life.

This run-in with the medical system has me on high-alert, more than ever before.

We MUST ask questions. We MUST push back on the status-quo. We MUST take control of our care, and demand that it be individualized.

Empowered Pregnancy Podcast: Don't Let Age Scare You Mama!

This episode tackles the often-feared label of "Advanced Maternal Age" (AMA). I'm here to challenge the fear-mongering surrounding pregnancy over 35 and empower moms to focus on overall wellness and building a positive support system.

Here's what I get into:

• Why the term "AMA" might be more harmful than helpful.
• How age is just one piece of the pregnancy puzzle.
• The importance of healthy habits.
• Understanding risk statistics: absolute vs. relative risk.
• The link between C-sections and AMA labels.
• Why induction rates might be unnecessary for older moms.
• The benefits of a midwife-led care model for AMA pregnancies.
• Building a supportive community to navigate pregnancy and motherhood.

Ready to ditch the fear and embrace an empowered pregnancy? Join me and take charge of your journey!

*Trigger warning- mention of stillbirth, infant death and maternal death
