    #95 Being Trauma-Informed: The Soft Skills that Change Birth Experiences

    In this episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne talks with licensed therapist Krysta Dancy, MA, MFT, CBD to explore what trauma-informed care really looks like in labor and delivery. Together, they unpack how nervous system regulation, presence, and connection shape the labor and delivery experience for both patients and nurses. This conversation goes beyond checklists and protocols to address burnout, compassion fatigue, and why trauma-informed care is as much a way of being as it is a set of skills.  Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

    #94 How Position Changes Help - Positions Mini-Class

    In this episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne takes a deep dive into labor positions for why they matter, how they work, and why they’re so much more than just “turning patients.” This episode is really just the tip of the iceberg when it come to understanding physiologic birth. But, it is a mini crash course on anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based positioning. I talk about how environment, mobility, gravity, pelvic mechanics, and nursing judgment all intersect to support labor progress and reduce unnecessary Cesareans. If you’re looking for more and want a solid breakdown of positioning and physiologic birth, take our foundational Physiologic Birth Class. Thanks for listening and subscribing!

    #93 The Realest Talk About Burnout with The Bundle Birth Mentors

    What started as a simple “This or That” poll on a Bundle Birth Nurses Instagram, 7,000 of you responded, and those results stopped me in my tracks. It sparked a deep dive into the reality so many of you are living. Burnout isn’t just a buzzword; it’s something thousands of you across our community are quietly carrying. In this episode, we’re digging into what burnout really looks like for labor and delivery nurses today. I brought this to our incredible Bundle Birth Nurses Mentors to discuss what can we do about this. Throughout this episode, they pop in to share their lived experience, wisdom, and honest insights about how burnout shows up, why it’s happening, and what it means for the work we do. This is a unique, conversational episode where we unpack burnout, moral injury, the unseen emotional load of being a nurse, and the responsibility we carry to “stand in the gap” for patients and each other. We don’t have an easy solution, but we hope this conversation helps you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. Let’s explore burnout and learn what it might look like to rebuild our sense of purpose together. As always, thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

From Mentorship and MOVE retreats to goats, homesteading, and redefining success, this episode captures the beauty of evolving seasons. It’s an honest look at what it means to care deeply without losing yourself in the process. Whether you’re feeling burned out, curious about what’s next, or simply craving connection, this episode invites you to reflect, detach, and move forward with intention.

    #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!
