When your birth story doesn’t go as planned, it can leave a mark on your heart that shows up in postpartum in ways you didn’t expect. In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey—becoming a mom 9 years ago through a cesarean I never imagined—and how that unexpected path made my postpartum heavier than it had to be.

We’ll talk about the hidden connection between your birth and your postpartum mental health, how to recognize when those lingering emotions might be affecting you, and why pushing it aside because you “should be happy” can keep you stuck.

If you’ve ever replayed your birth in your head, felt guilt or shame over your feelings, or wondered why postpartum feels harder than you thought it would…this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re postpartum. And you deserve to be seen.

Why Dilation Doesn’t Predict Birth

You’ve heard it. You’ve maybe even stressed over it:

“You’re only 1 cm…”

“You’ve been 4 cm for weeks…”

“You’re not making any progress.”

But here’s the truth: Your cervix is not a fortune teller.

In this episode, we’re calling out the over-focus on cervical dilation and why it’s such a misleading measure of how “close” you are to labor—or how labor is progressing.

You’ll learn:

• Why dilation doesn’t predict labor onset
• Why internal checks can create unnecessary anxiety
• How “failure to progress” gets misused (especially after cesarean)
• Why you get to decide how much you want to know about your cervix

Spoiler alert: Progress doesn’t always look linear.

And your cervix is not a countdown clock.

Let’s get into what real labor progress looks like, and how to trust your body even when you’re not “measuring up.”

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.
