Birth and parenting deserve more than recycled advice and outdated expectations. This podcast exposes the hidden influences shaping modern birth and parenthood- unpacking hospital culture, trauma, identity shifts, and the stories we're rarely encouraged to tell out loud.  Each episode challenges assumptions, amplifies lived experiences, and offers evidence- backed conversations that help you reclaim your voice, your choices, and your narrative.  If you've ever felt like the mainstream version of birth and parenting doesn't fit- you're not alone, and you're in the right place.

    Ep 24: Breech Birth Conference

    Alex and Lacey attended a breech birth conference in April 2026 at Thomas Jefferson University. Join us this week to hear the nuggets of wisdom they learned while at that conference.  In this episode, they discuss: Clients using moxibustion which has lead to much faster labors The impact of the Term Breech Trial which has been disproven, but still had a lasting impact on choice in labor.  We are blessed to have the Breech Birth Team in Reading, PA and the DC Breech Birth Team.  They break down the perinatal mortality risks of cephalic/head down (1/1000), breech (2/1000) and c-section (0.5/1000) deliveries of breech baby as well as the long term risks of cesarean--> the part of the conversation most doctors leave out.  Those risks including: Uterine scarring, pelvic floor dysfunction, lymphatic drainage issues, pelvic organ prolapse, long-term pain, increased risks of placenta previa and accreta, and rupture among others.
