This is one of those conversations I did not want to end.
I sat down with Krystina Derrickson, a Certified Professional Midwife and New Jersey Licensed Midwife who has been serving women and families since 2018. Her passion for women centered birth is something every mom needs to hear.
We talk about the role of doulas, preconception nutrition, navigating infertility, and what real postpartum support looks like. Krystina empowers women to research their options, trust their bodies, and build a birth plan that centers them, not the system.
She reminds us that birth can be joyous, empowering, and one of the most valuable experiences of your life when you are informed and supported. She also speaks beautifully about reclaiming our female wisdom and communal wisdom as mothers.
You will leave this episode with real takeaways around nutrition, birth planning, and what it means to be truly supported through every stage of this journey.
If you are trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum, do not skip this one.
