Labor Pains and Gains: The Truth About Contractions
So many moms spend the last few weeks of pregnancy asking the same question: “wait... is this it?” In this episode I’m walking you through the early signs that labor might be on its way... the obvious ones and the sneaky ones nobody warns you about. From nesting to the mucus plug to that “am I getting sick?” feeling, I’ll help you tell the difference between “my body’s just getting ready” and “okay, this is actually happening.” Plus what to do when your water breaks, how to ...

Birth Story: Unmedicated Birth for First Time Mama, Amanda Warnsholz
First-time mama Amanda Warnsholz shares her beautiful unmedicated birth story and it almost didn’t get to happen. Before she was even pregnant, an abnormal pap sent her down a road of procedures and a referral to a GYN oncologist. But Amanda and her husband Alex leaned into a more holistic approach, trusted the wait-and-see plan, and got the green light to grow their family. She’s a nurse, he’s a PA, and even with all that medical knowledge, they chose to prepare for birth in the most natur...

Relaxation Practice for Labor
Relaxation might sound like the boring part of birth prep, but it’s actually the secret weapon nobody takes seriously until they’re mid-contraction wishing they’d practiced. 😅 In this episode I walk you through the exact relaxation practice I did with my own husband before my babies, step by step, so you can literally start tonight. We get into why relaxation is a skill you train (not something you’re just born good at), how to use your senses to teach your body to let go on command, the “s...

Birth Story: Unmedicated, Spiritual, and Supportive Hospital Birth with Justina & Kace Knowles
I shared this incredible birth story back in 2022, and it’s one that has stayed in my heart because of how much faith carried this couple through.

Why "At Least You Have a Healthy Baby" Isn't Enough with Dr. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett
Your birth doesn't have to look dramatic from the outside for it to have affected you deeply. You can have a "textbook" birth and healthy baby and still walk away replaying it at 2am, feeling like something wasn't right, like nobody was really listening to you. And if that's you, you are not being dramatic, and you are not ungrateful. You're human. I sat down with Dr. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett — a health psychologist and board-certified lactation consultant who has spent her entire career res...

Birth Story: Unmedicated, Hospital Birth with Sally Steffy
Some stories are too tender and too good to leave sitting in the archives, and Sally's is one of them. Sally shares her unmedicated hospital birth, and she does it gracefully, while her sweet grandpa had passed away just days before she went into labor. Her story is a powerful picture of the goodness of God woven through both grief and joy, all in the same week. We talk about how giving birth brought her and her husband closer than ever, and the little things she brought to the hospita...

Are You Pushing Wrong? What Your Pelvic Floor REALLY Needs for Birth with Dr. Sara Reardon
What if the way you’re told to push during birth isn’t actually the whole story? And what if leaking, pelvic pain, painful sex, or feeling like your body just never fully recovered after having a baby aren’t things you simply have to live with? In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Sara Reardon, aka The Vagina Whisperer — a board-certified pelvic floor therapist with 20 years of experience — to talk about the part of your body that plays a HUGE role in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery...

Birth Story: What If I Can’t Handle Labor? How Mental Preparation & Support Can Change Your Birth
I love a good birth story, but this one has a little something extra. Taryn's not just telling you what happened, she's showing you how much the mental side of birth really matters AND what she did to prepare - which is the most valuable part! She'd gone into her first two births thinking "I'm tough, I've got this," and learned the hard way that toughness isn't the same as being prepared. (join the club 😉) So the third time, she did it differently. I first aired this back in 2023 and to-date...
