So you just had a baby... let's talk the raw, unfiltered journey of birth, postpartum, and all things baby-related. I'm Mackenzie, a seasoned labor and delivery, as well as postpartum nurse and fellow mom. In a world filled with mixed messages and unrealistic expectations, I'm here to offer a refreshing unbiased look at birth & postpartum.

 With my background as a nurse and my personal journey as a mother to two little boys, I intimately understand the joys and challenges that come with motherhood. I'm not afraid to lay it all out there—the exhaustion, the exhilaration, and the immeasurable rewards.

In each episode, I delve into diverse birth stories and feeding journeys, sharing real-life experiences from parents who have been there. I offer practical insights about the intricacies of labor, delivery, and postpartum. But this podcast isn't just about the medical side—it's also about the emotional journey. I believe in shedding light on every facet of parenthood, from proudly wearing my stretch marks and messy mom bun to sipping I microwaved coffee for the umpteenth time.

Instead, "The Mackenzie on Motherhood" podcast is your safe space for learning, growing, and embracing the beautiful chaos of parenting.
