This week, I am joined by my husband as we reflect on the birth stories of all of our children. We discuss the first trimester miscarriage of our first child followed by a surprise pregnancy just two months later. We discuss our path to our daughter’s birth and what went wrong in the last few hours of her birth. We discuss the many lessons learned along the way as we prepared for our son’s birth (Baby #3) and his birth story which will be discussed in Part 2 (next week).

Ever wonder why it feels so hard to find trustworthy information these days? In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how conflicts of interest in healthcare — like research funding and consulting deals — can quietly shape the advice doctors and researchers give.

We’ll talk about real-life examples, how money can subtly influence decision-making (even when no one thinks it will), and why this matters for women trying to make empowered choices about their bodies, birth control, pregnancy, and beyond.

If you want to feel more confident reading studies, asking better questions, and spotting red flags in health recommendations, this episode is for you. Let's get you equipped to make informed, grounded decisions — no fear, no confusion, just clarity.

In this episode, Destynie gets real about what she’s seeing in women in their 20s & 30s — the ones who feel like they’re drowning in life before motherhood even begins. If you’re overthinking every decision, scared of conflict, or stuck in a toxic relationship with your body… this one’s for you.

We unpack:

• How fear of being wrong leads to emotional paralysis

• Why “choosing peace” can sometimes be code for avoiding conflict

• The link between body shame and emotional dissociation

• How all of this impacts your future as a mother (or woman in general)

This episode is a must-listen if you feel like you’re holding it together on the outside but falling apart on the inside.

In this episode, we meet Shaniqua, a first-time mom with a testimony that will give you chills. Before she became a mother, Shaniqua was diagnosed with uterine fibroids which she had surgically removed prior to meeting her husband. Years later, this surgical history would act as a major barrier to the birth she envisioned. But when I say, "BUT GOD” , I mean it with every bone in my body. Because Shaniqua and her husband walked right over every barrier to get to their undisturbed home birth. Get the tissues ready because you’ll never be the same after listening to this story!
