In this episode, I interview the president of our local chapter of the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN). ICAN helps empower women to make informed decisions during pregnancy and childbirth. ICAN has the stated purpose of "...reducing preventable cesareans through education, supporting cesarean recovery, and advocating for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC)." One of the goals of our local ICAN group is to allow women to make truly informed decisions during pregnancy. 

For more information go to http://www.ican-online.org/ and find your local chapter. Our local ICAN (ICAN of the CSRA) meets on the last Friday of every month in Evans, GA at Flack Family Chiropractic at 6:30 PM. All are welcome to come (dads, kids, other family members, pregnant and non-pregnant). Some meetings focus on a specific topic while others are general support meetings.

Brittany and I sit down and talk about those things in our life that take our attention away from our kids, or the things that we give our attention to. Things like excessive working, social media, and such. We also drop some knowledge on the positive impact of music and stress! It was a great discussion.

Brittany sits down with me to discuss our take on spanking. This is our first dive into a controversial topic and I was pretty nervous. We discuss why we choose not to spank and what positive alternatives we use.

Our baby also cries in the background and I drop the chapstick I am playing with multiple times, hooray! Sorry for the loud noises, we're still learning and growing :D
