  • 8 | Transferring From a Birth Center, Finding a Midwife, & Midwife Interview Questions

    In this episode, I share my personal experience navigating prenatal care, including why I ultimately chose to transfer out of a birth center and what I learned in the process. I open up about how I knew the model of care wasn’t the right fit for me, and the peace I felt after finding a midwife who offered the support I was hoping for.

    I also share interview questions to help you find a care provider who aligns with your values. If you’re exploring natural birth or midwifery care, this episode is here to empower and encourage you.

  • 4 | Men's Fertility & the Male Fertility Crisis

    Should women be the only ones to take preparing for pregnancy seriously? Absolutely not! The man's contribution to a pregnancy is incredibly important and necessary. Not just for the health of the baby, but also for the health of the mother. A man's sperm makes up half of the baby and creates the woman's placenta.

    In this episode, I'm joined by my husband as the first ever guest on The Garden podcast! We talk all about his journey and transition in life to dating a crunchy girl. From using Adderall to stay focused at work, and going through Zyn like crazy, to taking beef liver + testicles, making major gains at the gym, and drinking filtered water, his life has changed just a little.

    Most importantly, we focus on how we've worked together to prepare his body for my pregnancy over the last two years of our relationship.

  • 3 | The Journey to My Baby

    The journey to preparing for my baby was so much more than just healing my body physically with nutrition. I've had a long journey preparing emotionally for this baby to be here, and wanted to share more of my story and some of my learning experiences along the way.

  • 2 | Preparing for Pregnancy

    Have you ever noticed that there's essentially zero emphasis placed on the importance of preparing for pregnancy? An appointment with an OB in regards to wanting to get pregnant usually involves getting off birth control, them recommending a prenatal vitamin, and sending you on your way. This is doing women a massive disservice by setting us up for a suboptimal pregnancy nutritionally. In this episode, we're talking all things pregnancy prep and the three biggest things I recommend when it comes to preparing your body optimally for pregnancy - nutrition, functional labs, and optimizing your physical health.
