Jen & Alise are back to being your friends again and giving you all the information you need to know to give birth. You can’t will your cervix into a juicy pear or into a dilated cervix and they will tell you why. This week they are giving you tons of information on how to navigate labor and how to remember how amazing you are no matter how you give birth. Figure out what birth options are the right options for you and how to own your badassary with birth.

Jen & Alise had the amazing opportunity to sit down and chat with Amy, the owner, and founder of Pumpspotting and the traveling breastfeeding/pumping bus, Barb. This week we cover everything from what it’s like to try to do “all the things”, to ways folks can make a breastfeeding plan to prepare their family and friends to help support them on their breastfeeding journey. Find out why community and support are important for all stages of parenting. After the show, don't forget to download the Pumpspotting app to get connected with others in your area as well as around the globe.  We had so much fun! We know you will too.

Sure, your friends told you about swollen ankles and morning sickness but they probably never told you about finding foods that really worked with morning sickness. You know, the foods that taste the same coming up as they do going down. Body changes, pregnancy clothes, pregnancy sex? Don't worry, Jen & Alise have your back. This week, find out the honest truth about all the things your closest friends should have told you about pregnancy. 

We are fed up of the same old message that there's one way to have a baby and raise a baby. We think our listeners deserve a little bit more credit and are smart enough to make their own decisions. Isn't time to hear more than just how big your baby is compared to the size of a fruit? How big is a papaya anyway? Get to know us this week and find out why we decided to break out of doula office and start podcasting. 

 You've heard the rumors? Is it true?  Is it really as bad as you've heard? Can you avoid it? Jen & Alise give the honest truth on pooping during labor. They discuss their own personal stories and stories of births they've attended with and without poop. 

 Is mom shaming the grownup version of mean girling? This generation having babies wants so much more. Often, they've waited longer to have babies so that they can have it all. They want the career, the emotional connection, the gourmet meal and the strong attachment to everyone they've intentionally chosen to have in their lives. The only thing that leaves room for is a whole lot of guilt when there isn't room to cram it all in or they just feel like frozen pizza for dinner. Jen and Alise share honest, first hand stories of their own personal mom guilt as they show up in yesterday's makeup or serve up meals from rotten food. What's really happening when you zoom out the lens on social media?
