77: Birth centers aren't what they seem Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

Birth centers aren’t always what they seem. It’s common for women to choose a birth center for all the things the homebirth has to offer without being at home, but then they get a kind of typical hospital birth experience. In this episode I go over the big differences between homebirth, birth centers and the hospital in terms of what is the most supportive of physiologic birth.

In this episode I talk about:

-Why homebirth is the gold standard of birth locations, and the orgasm analogy proves it

-Some reasons why moms may chose a birth center or hospital birth, and two reason I think are BS

-The wide spectrum of birth centers and what you may experience with them

-HOw to have a more homebirth style hospital birth

76: Homeschool Q&A Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

Part 2 of the homeschool series. In this episode I answer some questions from you about homeschooling. Everything from the fact that you're already homeschooling as a SAHM, to exactly how much time we spend each day/week on schooling, to the fact that my homeschool kids socialize more than they would in public school.

Here’s the questions I go over- listen in for my answers:

How do I handle homeschooling when I can barely handle one 19 mo old and laundry?
Do you homeschool or unschool?
How to grow your home library when you’re a minimalist/have little space?
How many days/hours do you do curriculum vs fun/life learning.
Rundown of a typical day
How many hours a day do you spend on homeschooling typically?
Ideas for socializing?
How to prepare kids for college if they chose that route?
How to work full time and homeschool
Do you have to register as a teacher?
Can I homeschool without a co-op?

This is where they prick the baby’s heel, collect a few drops on a screening card and send it off to the lab to test for 30+ different genetic disorders and conditions. And of course, it’s just not as simple as that.. So let's get informed!
