34. Empowering Pregnancy & Birth Preparation w/ Dr. Nicole Rankins
Having a baby is a life changing experience in so many ways, and being prepared for being a mother as well as the entire pregnancy journey is so important. As mothers, a part of this preparation is staying aware of the hardships that come with the pregnancy journey, especially if you are a woman of color. Whether that be micro-aggressions in the hospital, lack of compassion from the people around you, or any other unethical treatment you may go through due to being a woman in this society. Pregnancy should be an empowering time of any Mamas life, and in order to make it that way, being mentally and physically prepared for anything will definitely come in handy! Tune into this episode where I talk with Dr. Nicole Rankins as she gives you tips on not only how to be prepared, but how to be empowered in your pregnancy.

Customer Reviews
A Podcast That Makes Me Feel Human!
It’s so refreshing to listen to a podcast where I feel understood and human. Keep up the good work and amazing content! 🙌🏽
Such a calming, balanced perspective!
First, listening to Dr. Amber’s voice is so calming...lol. Me and a friend of mine have talked about this; I could listen to her about anything. Secondly, the podcast has helped me remember many of the things that I learned participating in the Empower Wellness Mama Group that Dr. Amber established. As a new bonus Mama, I have felt very blessed but also very overwhelmed, as this has been uncharted territory for me. Listening to this podcast helps me to remember how important it is for me to prioritize my wellness and that doing so doesn’t rob me of what any of the other tasks or roles I have; it can only enhance my ability to carry out those tasks and roles.
I used to use my commute to listen to podcasts but since I’ve been working from home, I don’t have that time. One of the things that Dr. Amber has helped me with is establishing a bedtime routine and I’ve been using that newly established routine to catch up on the podcast. It has been so helpful and grounding!
The BEST podcast for working moms!
I am so thankful for this podcast. Dr. Amber Thornton is always dropping gems that are really helping me transition into this new season of being a working mom. It’s not easy, but the topics she talks about on her podcast always help me put things into perspective. Please listen! I promise you won’t regret it ❤️
