Welcome to I Have Something to Say with Renie — where truth-telling meets healthcare and real life. I'm Renie: a Registered Nurse, childbirth educator, and fierce advocate for safer, more honest care for birthing people. In each episode, I open up space for the stories that don’t always get told — the realities of womanhood, loss, advocacy, and navigating a healthcare system that doesn’t always listen. Whether I’m speaking from experience or sitting down with someone who’s lived it, we pull back the curtain on everything from maternal loss and medical gaslighting to doulas, delivery rooms, and the policies that shape care behind the scenes. And yes — we talk about the good, too. The breakthroughs in research, the moments of joy, and the everyday heroes in scrubs who show up and make a difference. This podcast is for anyone who's ever felt dismissed in a hospital room, questioned what their doctor didn’t say, or just needed someone to break it all down — no sugarcoating, no fear. Because everyone deserves to be heard. And I have something to say.

    A Mother's Loss At the Hands of Healthcare Pt. 1

    In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my cousin to share Part 1 of her heartbreaking and courageous story. At just 32 weeks pregnant, she experienced the unimaginable — the loss of her baby and a traumatic ICU stay that followed. Despite begging for help, her concerns were ignored. This conversation sheds light on the cracks in our healthcare system and the emotional toll of being dismissed when it matters most.
