EP 106:

If you’re pregnant and feeling that low-key anxiety creeping in every time someone says “labor,” this episode is your rescue plan in 4 simple steps.

This is a crash course in birth confidence that’ll help you delete fear and embrace the kind of birth you deserve.

EP 105: 

If something about the way birth is "sold" to first-time moms has ever felt off to you… you’re not wrong.
 In this episode, I’m exposing the top 3 LIES the birth industry tells pregnant moms that keep you anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck on the Google-Go-Round. 😩

We’re talking:

• Why “just trust the doctor” is keeping you silent when you should be asking questions
• The truth about pain in labor (and what actually helps)
• And the biggest myth that’s sabotaging breastfeeding before it even begins

✨ Plus, I’m sharing evidence-based tips and real strategies to help you feel in control—not confused—about your birth and breastfeeding journey.

Hit play if:
💡 You’ve been told to “just go with the flow”
