We're back on the couch with overflow from our 50th episode topic requests - and per usual, it's fun while also being educational. This week Natasha and Taylor get into the postpartum topics that nobody talks about honestly enough, starting with postpartum sex (or the lack thereof). Natasha breaks down the actual biology behind low libido while breastfeeding - prolactin, estrogen, vaginal dryness - so you can stop blaming yourself and start blaming hormones. Plus: a note to partners everywhere.Since Taylor is 10 weeks postpartum, we're talking about the pumping pressure myth - because no, you don't have to introduce bottles or build a freezer stash, and more moms need to hear that. Natasha shares her IBCLC journey, including the brutal triple-feeding experience with her first that sent her down the path to becoming a lactation consultant. Taylor answers listener questions about birth positions and how to prepare for an unmedicated hospital birth as a birth educator and doula - including why hiring a doula might be the single best decision you make (and why it's evidence based).We also respond to a moving momTALK voicemail from a listener working in neonatology who's newly pregnant and navigating serious pregnancy anxiety - and talk about why who and what you're surrounded with matters when it comes to worry during pregnancy.Plus: the dad bod double standard, changing table discourse part two, rushing your toddler with zero guilt, and the sneaky nighttime diaper slide hack.Topics covered:- Postpartum sex drive & the biology of why breastfeeding tanks your libido- Why lube is not optional - it's biology- The pumping pressure myth & breastfeeding without bottles- Natasha's IBCLC journey & what triple feeding actually is, as well as her experience with it- Best birth positions for medicated & unmedicated labor- How to prepare for an unmedicated hospital birth (hint: hire a doula)- Pregnancy and birth anxiety- Toddler park tantrum survival tips- Traveling with a babyXX,Natasha & Taylor

It's our 50th episode and one year anniversary and we're giving the people what they want! You've been asking, so we're finally answering your most requested questions. We're talking about our ages, whether we want more kids (spoiler: it's complicated), what it was like growing up in Hawaii vs. raising kids in San Diego, how we each met our husbands, and how to show up as a wife when motherhood has completely drained you. We also share our hot tips for solo parenting when your partner travels — and we launch our brand new segment, momTALK, where we play a voicemail from a 3-week postpartum mom navigating resentment and unequal mental load with her husband. It's just us as always but a little bit more personal!

Taylor is back sharing her second birth story - and this one was completely different.
After having her first baby at a birth center, she chose to work with an OB and deliver in a hospital, but still had an unmedicated birth as she had planned for.
From her water breaking at 12:30am on her due date to a 4-hour labor, intense contractions minutes apart, and a 45-minute car ride while in active labor.
We talk about:
She went from anxiety leading up to birth → to a fast, empowering, unmedicated delivery and shares exactly what made the difference this time.
If you're preparing for birth, considering going unmedicated, or deciding between location of birth & type of care team, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) parts of pregnancy: trying to get labor started.
From dates and raspberry leaf tea to acupuncture, sex, and curb walking — we dive into the truth behind “natural induction” methods, what the research actually says, and what’s just anecdotal hype.
We get into:
- Your body won’t go into labor until it’s ready & why that's a good thing!
- Alllllllll of the natural methods you COULD try
- What might help vs. what’s potentially risky
- The real role of doulas (and why they’re so powerful for birth outcomes)
- Epidurals: the good, the trade-offs, and how to think about your options
- How we have found to be the best approach for the final weeks of pregnancy without spiraling
If you’re in your third trimester (or just curious about birth), this is the honest, no-BS conversation you need.
Because sometimes the most important thing to remember is: your baby will come when they’re ready
🤍🎧 Tune in for a grounded, evidence-based take — with plenty of personal stories and hot takes along the way.
