What would you do if your baby came so fast… there was no time to make it to the hospital?

In this unforgettable, heart-melting birth story, My Essential Birth Mama Karlen shares her journey with us through a challenging pregnancy, an unexpected early labor after planning for induction, and a completely unplanned roadside birth with only her husband by her side. From the moment she realized, “I’m doing this right now,” to the incredible birth that follows, I know you're going to love this birth story as much as I do!!

I absolutely loved chatting with Karlen and walking through her birth story with her. As a clinical psychologist, she shares how her mindset, preparation, and deep trust in her body supported her through one of the most intense experiences of her life. This episode is a PROOF that birth doesn’t have to go according to plan to be empowering and unforgettable. I promise, this is an episode you do not want to miss! In fact, maybe play it over and over again as you come up to your birth!

Here's some deets from the episode:
• How Karlen navigated a challenging pregnancy and a late diagnosis of cholestasis
• What midwifery care looked like for her
• The daily habits, mindset work, and preparation that set her up for success and gave her a birth she loves!

• What it was like emotionally to process a birth no one could have planned

“I love my baby… AND I’m struggling.”
If you’ve ever thought that and immediately felt guilt, shame, or fear that something was wrong—you are not alone.

In this deeply moving and much-needed episode, I sit down with Dr. Margo Lowy, author of the powerful new book Maternal Ambivalence, to talk about the full emotional reality of motherhood—starting in pregnancy. This conversation is profoundly healing. It normalizes the feelings so many mothers carry silently: the love, the overwhelm, the resentment, the doubt, and the deep devotion that all exist at the same time.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, conflicted, judged, isolated, or like you’re “not doing motherhood right,” this episode is 100% for you. It may be one of the most important conversations I’ve shared this year for pregnant moms and mothers everywhere.

Here’s what we cover:

2:43 – Meet Dr. Margo Lowy & why the emotional truth of motherhood begins in pregnancy—not at birth.
6:35 – What maternal ambivalence really means (and why loving your baby while feeling resentment is completely normal).
14:43 – “Will I get through this?” What to do when motherhood feels overwhelming—and how the right support changes everything.
20:25 – The pressure to be a “perfect mom,” the lie of social media, and why real motherhood was never meant to be lived in isolation.
33:31 – Inside her book Maternal Ambivalence and how understanding your full range of emotions can release shame at every stage.
42:21 – Letting go of the “inner camera” that constantly judges your mothering—and learning to flow with compassion instead.

Motherhood was never meant to be neat, quiet, or flawless. It’s messy, interrupted, overwhelming, sacred, and deeply loving—all at once. If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or years into motherhood and still questioning yourself, this episode will leave you with a deep breath of relief, maybe a tear or two, and a renewed ability to trust yourself as a mother.

Pregnant and already worried about how your baby will sleep? Forget cry-it-out and rigid sleep methods — there’s a gentler, biology-based way to support your baby’s rest. In this episode, Pediatric Sleep Expert Louise Herbert shares what every pregnant mom needs to know before your little one even arrives.

You know your baby better than anyone — but when it comes to milestones, feeding, or development, it’s easy to second-guess yourself...and you're not alone! In this episode, I’m joined by Jordyn Gorman of Eat, Play, Say — a pediatric therapist and mama who helps parents support their baby’s growth holistically.

In this episode:
• When to trust your gut vs. seek early intervention (and it’s free in the U.S.)
• How to know if baby is ready for solids — and what to start with
• Breastfeeding, bottle-feeding & formula facts for confident feeding choices
• High-protein, nutrient-dense foods for babies who need more calories
• Why play is the most powerful tool for development (ages 0–5)
