Show notes

I've officially changed my mind about placenta consumption, plus the traumatic placenta experience with my third.

In this episode, we’re digging into why moms consume their placentas, what the research actually says about the supposed benefits, and why some moms are just keeping their placenta in the freezer for years.

Most moms don't know enough about birth Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

Most moms just don’t know enough about birth... and honestly, it’s keeping you scared of things that are completely normal.

In this episode, we’re talking cord around the neck, meconium, long labors, cervical lips, and other things that get treated like problems when they can actually be part of normal birth physiology.

If you want to walk into birth feeling less afraid and more like you actually understand what your body is doing, listen to this one.

Why precipitous birth doesn’t mean you couldn’t have prepared
What really happens when you arrive at the hospital and go through triage
The one thing I would never recommend doing during admission

If Dani Austin Were My Client: Unhinged (and must have) advice for unmedicated hospital birth Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

Y’all sent me this video over and over again… so let’s talk about it.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what I would coach Dani Austin on if she were my client to have a more powerful, confident unmedicated hospital birth. This is the behind-the-scenes prep that actually changes how birth feels in your body and in your mind.

You’re going to want to open your notes app for this. These are the strategies, mindset shifts, and birth prep hacks that turn “just get through it” into “I felt strong, calm, and in control.”

If you’re planning an unmedicated hospital birth, or you just want to feel way more prepared than the average mom, this one’s for you.
