Pushing It Podcast is here to help you bring your "F" word (AKA flexibility) to birth, find courage, and gain a sense of humor. Jen and Alise get honest and real about pregnancy, birth, and life with a baby. Finally, a podcast for everyone else having a baby that wants the down and dirty truth from Professionals who believe there is no "right" way to birth or parent. Jen and Alise have your back because if you can't laugh without peeing yourself, you might as well laugh at yourself while doing it. Birth is never boring, learning about shouldn't be either.

Fear and Trust in Birth: It doesn't have to be one or the other
Is it possible to hold both fear and trust/faith at the same time in regard to childbirth and parenting? We'll explore how this looks.... but first, Alise has a bone to pick (as usual! ) after visiting an indoor trampoline park. This week we're discussing how having hope means knowing how to develop trust that the tools needed to cope during birth and in parenting can be accessed as needed. Somewhere between fear and trust lies hope. We're discussing how to live in the middle.

Real Talk about Pregnancy, Birth, and Motherhood
They know about birth, they are funny, and they don't sugarcoat the facts! I love it! Their non-judgemental attitude about all things birth and motherhood is refreshing. I took Alise's birth class 3 years ago and felt so prepared with lots of expert tips to make the brith process and life with a newborn a little easier. Now she has a podcast to share her knowledge! Love it! Thanks Alise and Jen!
