    Epidurals, Water Birth & Postpartum… Oh My!

    In this episode, we talk all things birth! We dive into epidurals—the pros, the cons, and the ways they can be incredibly helpful while also potentially creating challenges depending on the birth experience. We also chat about water birth, different birthing mindsets, and how much your mindset can shape the way you experience labor. And we get into postpartum healing after a medicated birth versus an unmedicated birth, sharing our personal experiences and what recovery looked like for each. As always, it’s an honest conversation about birth, motherhood, and the many different ways a baby can come into the world.

    From Mom Guilt To Doula Life

    What happens when Mom gets the house to herself? Do we actually enjoy the quiet… or immediately feel guilty for it? In this episode, we’re getting real about being home alone, mom guilt, and what self-care actually looks like in real life. We’re talking morning people vs. night owls, trying to get up before the kids (while desperately needing to pee 😂), making time for hobbies, and being more intentional with the little pockets of time we get. Plus, Sean chats with Caity about her work as a doula and what a doula actually does. Motherhood, self-care, mom guilt, hobbies… just another day of Honest Mom Energy.

    Momming, Landfills & the Mayo Problem

    Sean has officially moved, so naturally we have plenty to catch up on! In this episode, we’re talking about momming through illness, summertime sickness, toxic vs. non-toxic household products, bleach and Norwex, and the surprisingly controversial topic of peanut butter storage. We also get into our latest crazy mom moments, bidets, diaper sprayers, potty training, landfills, and the fact that kids are probably better off without tons of toys. Plus, our Christmas shopping strategies, things we want to do before summer ends and Sean’s very strong feelings about mayo. A little practical, a little ridiculous, and a whole lot of mom life. Come hang out with us!

    NFP Series | Part 2: Beyond the Chart

    Welcome back to Part Two of our NFP series! We dive deeper into the meaning of SPICE and discuss how husbands can be more involved in the NFP process. Hannah explains exactly what the Creighton Model is and how NFP can also be a valuable tool for understanding and monitoring your health. We also talk about hyperfertility, judging families based on their size, navigating unhelpful comments about family size, how NFP can safeguard and strengthen love within marriage, and the importance of rightly ordering our sexual desires. We hope you enjoy this conversation!

    NFP Series | Part 1: An Honest Conversation with Hannah

    In this episode, we’re joined by our friend Hannah, a certified fertility instructor who teaches the Creighton Model of Natural Family Planning (NFP). Together, we dive into some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding NFP, what inspired Hannah to become an instructor, and how NFP differs from hormonal birth control. We also discuss why NFP is so much more than family planning, exploring topics like discernment, intentional intimacy, the meaning of SPICE, and why it’s impossible to approach NFP with a contraceptive mentality while remaining faithful to its purpose. Hannah shares practical wisdom on the importance of leaning on other couples who are striving to live out their marriages faithfully and we talk about how every family is called to prayerfully discern God’s plan for the size and spacing of their children. Whether you’re brand new to NFP, curious about the Creighton Model, or looking to deepen your understanding of marriage and fertility, we hope this conversation encourages and equips you. Enjoy!
