    How to Have the Hospital Birth You Actually Want

    Send us Fan Mail This one is such an important episode. I’m talking to Sheva Mintz, a labor and delivery nurse at a high-risk hospital in Florida, mama of three, and someone who is deeply passionate about helping women walk into birth feeling educated, calm, and empowered. She believes in movement, breath, trusting the female body, and also in the value of medical support when it’s actually needed. If you’re planning a hospital birth and you want to feel informed instead of steamrolled, this one’s for you. We get into what advocacy really looks like in the delivery room, how to ask better questions before saying yes to interventions, what fetal monitoring is actually telling you, and why preparing for birth is about way more than just packing a hospital bag.  In this episode, we talk about:  what advocacy in the hospital actually looks like  the difference between informed consent and just going along with whatever is offered  what to ask before interventions like breaking your water  what fetal monitoring, decels, and positioning really mean  how to choose a provider who aligns with the kind of birth you want  why hospital birth does not have to mean giving your power away And a reminder... I’m also doing a free webinar on Sunday, June 7th all about how to prepare your body for birth. The details are linked here, and I would absolutely love to see you there.  If you’re pregnant, planning to be, or know someone who is, send this one to her.

    The Birth Story I Can’t Stop Thinking About

    Send us Fan Mail Season 4 is hereeee and we are kicking it off with such a special episode. In this conversation, I’m sitting down with Liat Buckman — women’s dietitian, hormone health educator, mama of four, and one of the smartest women I know when it comes to supporting women through their childbearing years. But today, we’re not talking about food. We’re talking about birth. And not just any birth. Liat is sharing the story of her first home birth after previous hospital births, and this episode honestly moved me to tears. We get into what led her to make this decision, how she chose her team, the fears she had going into it, and what it was like to prepare for birth in a way that felt deeply aligned, safe, and empowering.  This one is for you if:  you’re pregnant  you’re thinking about birth in a deeper way  you’ve had a hospital birth that didn’t feel great  you’re curious about home birth  or you just love a really beautiful, honest birth story In this episode, we talk about:  what led Liat to choose a home birth after prior hospital experiences  how she found the right midwife team and built trust with them  what kind of emotional and physical prep she did before labor  the fears and questions that came up around home birth safety  how labor actually started and what unfolded from there I loved this conversation because it’s such a reminder that birth is not just about outcomes. It’s about how a woman feels in the process. Safe. Seen. Supported. Heard. And that matters so much.  If you’re preparing for birth and want extra support, I’ve also included my free guides here to help you feel more ready in your body. Love you guys. Enjoy this one.
