Does motherhood feel so daunting? It starts the moment you find out you're pregnant.. all the decisions and the responsibility can feel like a heavy weight. Imagine not feeling this once or twice but 10 times! 

Today my guest is the super amazing mama Abbie Halberstadt or you may know her as M is for Mama. Abbie is a wife, homeschooling mama of 10, Bible-believing Christian and best selling author.

She came on the show to share her wisdom and her expertise in motherhood and share the message that hard is not the same thing as bad. She shares her birth stories including both of her twin births which, spoiler alert one of those happened at home! She also shares what going her past due date and having weeks of prodromal labor are like and how she has overcome that mental hurdle!

This episode was jam packed full of encouragement and wisdom and you don’t want to miss!

Have you been avoiding the medical model of care during your pregnancy due to mistrust? Are you curious about blood testing but unsure where to go or what any of the tests mean? Today I had Sara and Maryanne on the show to talk about lab testing for preconception though each trimester of pregnancy. We talk about the must have testing, the difference lab results are based on trimester, importance of the right prenatal and talk about how proper diet can reverse Gestational diabetes!  MaryAnn Marks & Sara Russell have worked with hundreds of fertility clients in their combined 19 years of nutrition experience.

Their current collaboration focuses on teaching reproductive-focused clinicians and clients alike the correct way to view blood work in pregnancy and postpartum and how normal physiological changes should be reflected in pregnancy-specific ranges.

They're excited to share the evidence-based information that expertly fills an enormous knowledge gap in the field of reproductive healthcare. This is a high level podcast episode and you’ll definitely want to take notes!

Reminder- If you’re currently planning a peaceful homebirth you’re going to want to make sure you have all the essentials. Each birth worker has their own ideas on what you should or shouldn’t have but after supporting women in the homebirth setting for the past 5 years I complied a checklist for you of all the essentials my clients have found the most helpful.

Imagine having the deep desire to have natural births and it not happening. It would feel devastating and traumatic would it not? Would you just allow that to be the end of your story?

This story is so encouraging and hopeful as Kelsey shares her story of Bandle's Ring that lead her into having 4 c-sections. What happens though at the end may just bring you to tears. 

Her story is one of advocacy, grit, surrender and massive amounts of impact! This story really does show you what’s possible when you choose to advocate for yourself.

On this episode I had my friend Audrey on the show. She is a pastor’s wife, mom to her children and foster babies, runner, birth keeper, authentic midwife…. You know all the things!

You can expect this episode to go deep and talk about some real and raw things that can make or break your birth. She shares her story about being dropped from care because of a breech baby and how she had the mental fortitude to birth her baby the way she wanted to.

We go into important things to think about when inviting your children into your birth space, honoring God as our first go to with decisions, complete ownership over your birth, how your man can and should protect you during labor and so much more!

TRIGGER WARNING!! This is a story of a traditional midwife put on trial for a loss of a sweet baby in NE. If you are currently pregnant there may be something in here that are triggering for you. 

Angee Hock, the Nebraska Birth Keeper, has been invested in the birth world for 19 years, and has served in traditional midwifery and holistic wellness since 2017. Since then, she has faced repeated counts of government over-reach, including a 3 1/2 yr. legal battle, all in The State of Nebraska. Angee has a passion for human and parental rights and autonomy, and serves as a supporter and advocate for families who choose to own their path and stand on their rights in healthcare and birth.

We talk about the loss of sweet baby Vera as well as Angee's story of being charged, jailed and put on trial over a 3 1/2 yr long journey. She fights hard for women who want the option to birth at home with assistance and her story is going to be used to further that mission. She graciously came on to share and it's a story that will hopefully ignite passion in each listener to fight for what is right despite the risks.
