Taylor is back sharing her second birth story - and this one was completely different.

After having her first baby at a birth center, she chose to work with an OB and deliver in a hospital, but still had an unmedicated birth as she had planned for.

From her water breaking at 12:30am on her due date to a 4-hour labor, intense contractions minutes apart, and a 45-minute car ride while in active labor.

We talk about:

• The biggest differences between birth center vs hospital birth
• What it’s actually like to have an unmedicated hospital birth
• Timing when to go to the hospital (and why it’s such a mind game)
• Labor starting with your water breaking (even though “that’s rare”)
• Managing contractions without an epidural
• The mental side of birth (and how it changes the second time)
• What helped her avoid tearing
• That moment of “I can’t do this”… right before baby arrives

She went from anxiety leading up to birth → to a fast, empowering, unmedicated delivery and shares exactly what made the difference this time.

If you're preparing for birth, considering going unmedicated, or deciding between location of birth & type of care team, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) parts of pregnancy: trying to get labor started.

From dates and raspberry leaf tea to acupuncture, sex, and curb walking — we dive into the truth behind “natural induction” methods, what the research actually says, and what’s just anecdotal hype.

We get into:

- Your body won’t go into labor until it’s ready & why that's a good thing!

- Alllllllll of the natural methods you COULD try

- What might help vs. what’s potentially risky

- The real role of doulas (and why they’re so powerful for birth outcomes)

- Epidurals: the good, the trade-offs, and how to think about your options

- How we have found to be the best approach for the final weeks of pregnancy without spiraling

If you’re in your third trimester (or just curious about birth), this is the honest, no-BS conversation you need.

Because sometimes the most important thing to remember is: your baby will come when they’re ready

🤍🎧 Tune in for a grounded, evidence-based take — with plenty of personal stories and hot takes along the way.

In this episode, we’re talking all things newborn life: the weird, the normal, and the things that totally catch you off guard the first time around. From gas, grunting, spit-up, sneezing, meconium, cradle cap, swaddles, and witching hour to the reality that most newborn behaviors are bizarre but completely normal, we’re breaking down what’s actually worth worrying about and what’s just part of the newborn phase.

We also talk about the pressure of waiting for labor, the “fourth trimester,” why newborns don’t need nearly as much stimulation as the internet wants you to think, and our best advice for supporting a gassy or fussy baby without spiraling. This episode is your reminder that newborns are under construction, you do not need to fix every little noise they make, and sometimes the best thing you can do is sit down, snuggle your baby, and trust that this phase will pass.

If you’re in the thick of newborn life or getting ready to enter it again, this one is for you.

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most sensitive and polarizing conversations in motherhood: breast milk, formula, and informed feeding choices.

We talk about the biochemical differences between breast milk and formula, the benefits and risks of each, combo feeding, and why so many parents make feeding decisions without truly having all the information. This is not a shame-based conversation, and it’s not a moral debate — it’s about facts, context, and helping moms make informed choices that work for their families.

We also get into how maternity leave, hospital policies, formula marketing, and postpartum support shape infant feeding decisions in ways many families don’t realize. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, combo feeding, pumping, or still figuring it out, this episode is here to support you with nuance, evidence, and zero judgment.

Because moms deserve information, not guilt.

In this episode of Moms Interrupted, we talk about the massive identity shift that happens after becoming a mom. Postpartum isn’t just physical — your brain literally changes, your routines change, and suddenly the life you had before kids feels completely different.

We share our experiences navigating “mom brain,” letting go of rigid expectations, and learning to let go in early motherhood. From feeling like you have to constantly entertain your kids, to the pressure to bounce back, to the endless noise about what kind of mom you’re supposed to be — it’s a lot.

We also talk about the small things that helped us reconnect with ourselves postpartum: finding tiny pockets of time for ourselves, tuning out social media noise, embracing a little more “90s parenting,” and giving ourselves permission to still be figuring it out.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why postpartum identity shifts are completely normal

• What “mom brain” actually feels like

• Letting go of the pressure to constantly entertain your kids

• Finding small ways to reconnect with yourself

• Why motherhood doesn’t have to fit into one box

If you’re in the thick of postpartum and wondering who you are now, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone — and there’s no deadline for finding your new rhythm.

We touch on:

• Surprising stats about loneliness in motherhood

• How we've made new mom friends

• What to do when friendships fade or feel one-sided

Co-sleeping is one of the most emotional, controversial, and misunderstood topics in modern motherhood and most parents aren’t getting the full picture.

In this episode, we break down what co-sleeping actually means, why over 60% of mothers report doing it at some point, and what the research really says about safety, risk, and the famous Safe Sleep Seven. We also talk about the cultural history behind Western sleep norms, why parents feel pressure to lie to pediatricians, and how social media has made infant sleep more stressful than ever.

This is not a “do this or else” episode. It’s an education-first, judgment-free conversation about how families make impossible decisions when they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and just trying to keep everyone safe and rested.

If you’ve ever Googled baby sleep at 3am, this episode is for you.

We cover:

• The difference between co-sleeping, bedsharing, and room-sharing

• Safe vs unsafe sleep environments

• The science behind breastfeeding + sleep proximity

• How temperament affects infant sleep

• Why motherhood decisions aren’t black and white

Our goal: less shame, more information, and parents who feel empowered instead of afraid.
