The Unmedicated Girlies | Empowered + Informed Birth Education with Fierce Lizzie

Most moms write 0-1 birth jplans, but we're going to be a little extra and write 3.

I’m sharing the birth plan strategy no one’s talking about: why you need three different birth plans... one for the hospital staff, one for your partner, and one for laboring at home.

You’ll learn:

• Why icon birth plans should go in the trash and the importance of a clear and direct birth plan

  How to equip your support person with the exact words, advocacy notes, and tools you’ll need when you want to tap out

Meet Jes, holistic hyperemesis gravidarum expert and morning sickness coach. Jes shares her own HG story, multiple hospitalizations, prescriptions, and the moment she said “there has to be a better way”, and how she reverse-engineered her HG by targeting root causes instead of masking symptoms.

In the episode, we dig into:

• HG vs “morning sickness” as a spectrum, and how feeling debilitated is a red flag.

• The uncomfortable truth about pregnancy meds like Diclectin/Zofran: when they’re a necessary bridge, what they do (and don’t) fix, and why informed consent matters.

• Jes’s functional approach, how she weaned off meds and stopped vomiting within days.

• Why minerals are foundational and how depletion can show up later in mom and baby.

• The importance of preconception prep to prevent HG and build a resilient blueprint for baby.

If you’re in the thick of HG, planning another pregnancy, or you simply want a healthier baseline before conception, this episode is for you.

Everyone knows about the epidural, but you also need to understand the hospital’s so-called “low-intervention” option: IV narcotics.

Spoiler: they’re not as low-risk as they sound.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why hospitals are quick to offer fentanyl to unmedicated girlies

• The real pros and cons of IV narcotics

If you’ve ever felt like “something wasn’t right” about your birth, this episode is for you. Processing what happened is the prep no one talks about—but it might just be the most important part of planning for an empowered, unmedicated birth.

Brigid went through her own traumatic birth, and now she helps moms process their experiences so they don’t carry that trauma into motherhood—or into their next birth. In this episode, she shares her story and gives us some insight in to the tools we all could use post birth.

We talk about why trauma shows up in sneaky ways (even years later), the connection between your nervous system and your ability to cope in labor, and how unprocessed trauma can spill over into motherhood.

In this episode, I’m joined by the one and only Loudmouth Lisa... and trust me, you’re going to love her. Lisa Villani is a birthy business powerhouse with a bold story and even bolder mission. She shares how she went from the typical hospital experience (aka not it) to the unmedicated birth she craved so badly. A birth that cracked her wide open and changed everything.

We talk about what it really means to be empowered, in birth and business. Lisa drops some serious truth bombs about sales, helping doulas grow without burnout, and being loud (on purpose) in a system that wants women to stay quiet.

If you’re into birth, business, or both, you don’t want to miss this one.

☀️ Summer Series: PART 4 ☀️

Empowered moms know they are the boss

Not only do empowered moms know their rights, they do not allow anyone to take their power away. Being a powerful woman outside of the birth space is different than being the boss inside the birth space, as evidenced by the celebrity examples in the episode. The first step to being the boss is knowing your birth rights, and then step two, speaking up for them.

Here is your permission to NOT HAVE TO ASK FOR PERMISSION.

Empowered moms know the routine prenatal care, ask for their legally protected options and alternatives, and they are MORE in control of their birth because they started taking ownership during their prenatal care.
