    #91 The One Where Sarah Messes Up

    In this season-six finale of the podcast, Sarah Lavonne and Justine look back on a whirlwind year at Bundle Birth, with new classes, a reboot on YouTube, and new hospital trainings. Sarah shares an “epic fail” at her first Advanced Physiologic Birth training, then explains how the mishap led her to redesign the class and refocus on meeting you where you’re at, giving you the positioning training you want while also being authentic. The pair riff on systemic problems in maternity care, the power of empathy, and balancing big-picture change in the healthcare industry. *Disclaimer: To any of the nurses that were at this training or the leadership team that experienced this class, the rant at the end is not about you. It is about the system as a whole, you are amazing, and I am so impressed that you have invested in your nurse's growth like you have. ❤️ Sarah Send in your question to be featured in Season 7 of the Pod!

    #85 Content vs. Context: A Shift That Changed Everything

    In this soul-stirring episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne and Justine Arechiga dive deep into the powerful shift from content to context—a mindset that invites you to slow down, be present, and choose intentionality in both your personal life and your nursing practice. Together, they explore what it means to stop "should-ing" yourself to death, reclaim your presence at work and at home, and actively participate in your life instead of simply going through the motions. Through personal stories, metaphors (hello, mushroom eater!), and real-life insights from the floor, Sarah and Justine challenge you to step out of the noise, embrace the silence, and give yourself permission to thrive. Whether you're deep in the hustle or struggling to find your footing, this conversation is your invitation to pause, reflect, and remember that being present is hard work—and it’s worth it.

    #84 The Future of Nursing Starts with Us featuring Monica McLemore

    In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne sits down with the brilliant and unapologetically real Dr. Monica McLemore for a conversation that will shift the way you think about nursing, reproductive health, and your role in this work. From their first meeting to this moment of connection, Sarah and Monica reflect on humility, curiosity, and the humanity at the core of nursing. Dr. McLemore shares her journey—starting as born a preemie to becoming a nationally respected nurse scientist, public health expert, and fierce advocate for reproductive justice. Monica calls out the myth of political polarity to issuing a bold challenge for nurses to build something better. She urges us to stop playing small, activate our gifts, and remember that nursing is—and always has been—a political act. Whether you're a preceptor, student, bedside nurse, or leader, this episode will wake you up, call you in, and remind you of the shared work ahead. Helpful Links!
