In today’s episode, I’m opening up about the decisions I made for my baby’s birth and immediate postpartum care—decisions that go against the grain of conventional hospital practices. From opting out of the vitamin K injection and declining the Hep B vaccine at birth, to choosing delayed cord clamping and planning a peaceful home birth, I’ll share the research, intuition, and values that led me down this path. I’ll also talk about how the Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care deeply influenced my approach, and why trusting my body and baby felt more aligned than ever before. Whether you're curious, planning your own birth, or simply want to hear a different perspective—this episode is for you.

In this personal episode, I share how my journey through four pregnancies and births has transformed the way I approach birth, motherhood, and trusting my instincts. From my first hospital birth—where I said “yes” to everything I was told—to my fourth, a peaceful and empowering home birth, I open up about what I’ve learned along the way.

We’ll talk about the Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care changed the way I care for myself and my babies. If you're feeling uncertain or just starting to question the standard approach to birth, this episode will affirm that you’re not alone—and that there’s another way.

This week, I’m sharing one of the hardest parts of our homesteading journey so far — raising 16 Orlopp Bronze turkeys for meat and only having 4 survive. It was disheartening, emotional, and not something people often talk about. In this episode, I open up about what went wrong, how it affected us, and why we’re choosing to keep going anyway. If you’ve experienced loss on your homestead — whether animals, crops, or confidence — this episode is for you. You're not alone.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real, raw journey of our very first month milking our sweet cow, Dixie. The first week and a half was anything but easy—neither of us knew what we were doing! Dixie was figuring out what it meant to be milked, and I was learning right alongside her.

There were moments of frustration, lots of trial and error, and plenty of spilled milk (literally). But now, just a few weeks later, things have completely turned around. Dixie is calm, cooperative, and I can fully milk her out in under 25 minutes!

Tune in to hear about the lessons we’ve learned, the unexpected joys, and why this experience has been so incredibly rewarding. Whether you’re a fellow homesteader or just curious about farm life, this one’s for you.

Today on the Wellness Farm Chat Podcast, I’m opening up about something deeply personal — and if you’re a wellness-loving mama navigating postpartum or hormone ups and downs, I know this will resonate.

What happened next truly surprised me — from cycle regulation to a potential boost in progesterone, and even what I believe triggered ovulation… which led to an unexpected (and very welcomed) pregnancy.

I’m sharing it all — the details, the timing, and the hope this story might give to others walking a similar path.
