    Seasoned Mom - Dr. Bridget pt.2 - Desire for big family despite Challenges, Motherhood wasn't meant to be easy, NO snacks between meals & NO Nap Schedule

    Dr Bridget was a huge reason for starting this podcast. They say it takes a village, but that means you have to be a villager which is exactly what Dr B has taught me to be. She cares so much about supporting moms through every season. She is very open about wanting a large family with a lot of kids, despite the challenges in the trenches of motherhood. She cares deeply about creating a family legacy, and it make the time investment of having a bunch of crazy toddlers worth it for the impact they can make in the future. In thid episode she gives us a peek into what drives her in the hardest moments in her chaotic house. She also opens up about walking through the grief of walking through loss, while mothering the children brought into this world, how to parent each kid differently, why she loves creating more siblings, and so much more She also gives us insight on two things she just doesn't do as a mom... NO snacks between meals, and NO strict nap schedule. Both of these topics freed me up a ton with some daily struggles I was having with my toddler. I pray this episode blesses you!!!

    Seasoned Mom - Dr Bridget pt.1 - Fertility, Pre Conception, First 6 weeks after a baby, Doing hard thing in Motherhood, Breastfeeding Struggles, Goal of big family

    Dr Bridget was a huge reason I started this podcast. They say it takes a village, but that means you have to be a villager which is exactly what Dr B has taught me to be. She cares so much about supporting moms through every season. Dr B has been such a blessing when my husband and I walked through a miscarriage and the vulnerability of conceiving again. She also is one of the few people I know that boldly shares about how dark and twisty it can be when your hormones shift after giving birth to a baby... whether its your 1st or fifth kid! In this episode she shares the raw and honest truth of wanting to continue growing her family while fighting through the trench of being a mom of multiples. I pray this conversation blesses you and shows at least one perspective you've never considered!

    Birth Story - Megan - Redemptive VBAC, Homebirth, Healing wounds from previous birth, Toddlers at Birth

    The birth of my first daughter was a whirlwind that ended up in an emergency C-section… the birth of my second daughter healed every wound and every moment that I wasn’t able to be present in before. Sharing these intimate moments is really vulnerable… but my hope is that it shows people that labor and birth, when left undisturbed, can unfold beautifully.Call me crazy but I LOVED every minute and can’t wait to do it again. I am so glad I got to sit down with my doula and talk through it all! Lastly - I want to thank my husband, my midwives, my doula, my birth photographer, my mom & sister, and ALL the amazing providers who contributed to me experiencing this beautiful birth. The amount of gratitude I have for each of you is overwhelming

    Birth Worker Virginia - Making Birth Normal, Listening to your Body during Pregnancy and Birth, Homebirth Myths

    I'm so thrilled that I was able to sit down with Homebirth Midwife, Virginia! She has been present with my team of Midwives throughout both of my pregnancies, and is such a joy to talk to. We talk about where her passion for birth came from, and how we both share the passion for making birth normal. I loved learning Virginia's approach to Midwifery since she has been practiing for a year now! Her fresh perspective is so exciting, and I cant wait to see how she continues to serve our community. We talked about a few common myths when it comes to homebirth, and the questions she gets asked at initial consultations.

    New Mama - Maya - The Only Struggle is in the Resistance

    Today’s guest is another amazing home birth midwife that opens up about her experience with birth and postpartum. This conversation is one of the most vulnerable so far. Talking about the intimate struggles in postpartum is not common. The quote “The Only Struggle is in the Resistance” came up at a postpartum group… every mama there agreed that it’s soo accurate not only for the challenges that arise in birth but also every stage of motherhood. It’s important to normalize sharing the struggles we each go through, and share with other mamas through building community. It’s crazy how seen and validated it can be to hear other moms who are going through similar things.
