    002 - POST-PARTUM DOULA: Madison Forrest

    Our first guest is Madison Forrest, a licensed doula out of Los Angeles, CA. She brings the HEAT (and by heat, we mean knowledge) today on the pod, leaving Steven and Jake speechless (but maybe not for the reason you think, see 20:37). Madison shares with the HE boys how she found herself in the world of post-partum doula-ing. Steven and Jake then give their best attempt at describing what a doula is (and is not), and then Madison gives a crash course on her work as a doula, and how it intersects with a parent's baby-journey post-partum. Madison covers it all: hormones, colostrum, what to expect on day-3 post-partum, and all the fluids and feelings that come along with. It's a crash course that Steven and Jake are still gushing about. Get active and leave those comments, share with Steven all of your wisdom, because God only knows he ain't reading. TODAY'S QUESTION: Did you use a doula when you had your kid(s)? Why or why not? And what was your post-partum experience like??

    Parenthood can be scary, especially when you're not expecting it. Fresh off the discovery that he's going to be a dad, Steven Busby is interviewed by Jake Cuddemi to get his candid, in-real-time feelings and reactions to this half-expected news. The Just Let Me Help comedy duo set the stage for what's to come from their new podcast endeavor. Steven and Jake start out by sharing how they found out Steven is going to be a dad, and Steven catches the listener up to how he and his wife got here. He shares about his hopes for the future, his biggest fears about becoming a dad, and the two compliment each other waaaaaay too much (it's gross).

Get active and leave those comments, share with Steven all of your wisdom, because God only knows he ain't reading.
