Let’s get one thing straight: your provider’s fear should not be the reason you say yes to something in birth.

In this episode, we’re diving into how fear-based counseling shows up in VBAC consults and what true informed consent actually looks and feels like.

We’re unpacking the difference between evidence-based recommendations and emotionally charged pressure—and why understanding that difference is the key to reclaiming your power.

Whether your provider is afraid of uterine rupture, hospital liability, or just doesn’t do VBACs often, this episode helps you tune into what’s fear-based and what’s fact-based—so you can make confident, grounded decisions that are right for YOU.

👊 We’re not here to be good girls—we’re here to be informed women.

Let’s talk about what real autonomy sounds like in the birth room.

You’ve heard it before—“Just trust your doctor.”

But what if trusting yourself mattered just as much?

In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to advocate for your birth, especially when your OB has a different plan. Spoiler: being pro-patient choice doesn’t mean you’re anti-doctor—it means you’re pro-you.

We’ll talk about:

• Why many OBs guide with fear instead of facts
• How to spot defensive medicine vs evidence-based care
• What informed consent actually looks like (and what it doesn’t)
• How to tell if your provider respects your autonomy—or just wants compliance

Whether you’re planning a VBAC, a repeat cesarean, or just want to feel more confident speaking up in appointments, this episode will fire you up and remind you: you are the expert on your body.

You’re in labor. You’re doing everything right. But suddenly… things slow way down.

Is something wrong?

Maybe not at all.

In this episode, we unpack one of the most misunderstood reasons labor “stalls” — baby’s position. We talk posterior, asynclitic, and all the funky angles babies can wiggle into that slow the birth process down — and why that’s not a failure, it’s a signal.

You’ll learn how experienced midwives know when to wait, how to tell the difference between “slow” and “concerning,” and powerful tips from Spinning Babies to support baby in getting into the best position possible.

This one is practical, encouraging, and a must-listen before birth day.

Desperate for labor to start? You’re not alone. But mama, before you chug the castor oil or speed-walk your neighborhood like it’s a race track, this episode is your wake-up call.

We’re busting 10 common myths about inducing labor at home — the ones you’ve seen on TikTok, heard from your cousin, or silently believed yourself. You’ll learn what actually starts labor (hint: it’s not spicy food), what your body is doing behind the scenes, and how to support your labor without trying to force it.

This is truth-telling, not fear-mongering.

Let’s trade the pressure for peace.

If your first breastfeeding journey felt harder than it should’ve been… it probably was. And you’re not crazy for thinking something wasn’t right.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jaimie—an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and mom of 5 dedicated to helping mothers who value breastfeeding navigate challenges with confidence & clarity by teaching them to work with their design, their baby's design, uncover the root cause of feeding challenges, and make decisions from the place where information and intuition intersect. Jaimie's goal is to make breastfeeding easier because you deserve to enjoy your newborn without dreading the next feeding session. 

Jaimie brings a unique, compassionate approach, specializing in breastfeeding challenges like oral restrictions and teaching moms how to advocate for themselves confidently in a system that often lets them down.

Together, we break down the five most common breastfeeding myths that sabotage moms in those early days.

We’re talking about:

• The lies we’re told about pain, supply, and latching
• What should’ve happened (but no one told you)
• Why so many moms quit when they actually wanted to keep going
• What you can do differently this time around

This one’s for every mom who left her first postpartum season feeling like she failed—when really, she was failed by a system that didn’t show up.

🎧 Tune in now and let’s rewrite your feeding experience—one myth at a time.

You’re not lazy. You’re not ungrateful. You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re carrying the postpartum mental load—and it’s invisible, exhausting, and absolutely real.

In this episode, we’re naming the weight moms carry that no one talks about: the never-ending mental tabs, emotional labor, planning, anticipating, and managing that comes with having a baby.
It’s not just about diaper changes and healing—it’s the invisible load that follows you everywhere.

We’ll break down:
•What the postpartum mental load actually is
•Why it hits so hard and so fast
•How it’s quietly messing with your mood, energy, and identity
•Practical ways to share the load and reclaim your capacity

This conversation is raw, honest, and just the beginning—my postpartum book is coming soon, and this topic? It’s at the heart of it.

In this powerful episode, Baylee, a labor and delivery nurse pulls back the curtain on her two cesarean births—and the emotional and personal growth that came with each one.

Her first birth happened early in her nursing career. She trusted the process, trusted the staff, and expected her induction to unfold with guidance and support. Instead, she was met with fear-based messaging, pressure to comply, and decisions made without truly informed consent. The result? A cesarean she didn’t feel prepared for—physically or emotionally.

Her second birth was different.

Yes, it ended in the OR again—but this time, everything had changed.

She found VBAC-supportive care, hired a doula, asked hard questions & advocated for what mattered most

And while her second cesarean wasn’t the VBAC she had planned, it was family-centered, respectful, and deeply healing.

We talk about:

• What informed consent should actually feel like
• The emotional layers of a CBAC
• Why the way you’re treated matters more than how you give birth
• And how you can reclaim your power, even when birth takes an unexpected turn

This isn’t just a story of two cesareans. It’s a story of clarity, confidence, and what happens when you finally feel seen in the birth room.

Baylee is a wife, mama of 2, and an OB nurse. Her passion lies within supporting other mamas through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. She aspires to become a CNM thanks to God guiding her path with each birthing experience. Sharing her story on this podcast is another way God is using her for good.

Did you know that the right birth education could be the difference between a smooth, empowered VBAC and a repeat C-section you didn’t want? 🤯

✅ How hospital policies and provider bias can make or break your VBAC (and what to do about it)
