how are you supposed to control what we are exposed to in a day where we are expected to have an opinion on everything.
Should someone with a business platform - specifically a birth worker - share their stance on polarizing topics?
Does this isolate potential clientele or help deepen the trust?
Reyna is a mother and a birth worker. Today she shares what that journey looked like for her and how her twin birth awakened the fire inside of her that lead her to serving women in birth. She has such a beautiful message about how to connect with your doula and what that connection should feel like.

I'm sharing about what a doula is verses what it's NOT and what people think it is. I'm also discussing the credentialing of a doula and why state regulations would be a bad thing for mother's and doulas.
Does birth have a good, better, best? According to anyone on social media who had a birth, it seems like it does. Today I'm discussing why others feel the need to nit pick a moms birth story when they were not involved.
The pressure to do it all perfectly or perfectly "crunchy" does not have to infect your life.
How and why do I feel like I've avoided the call to purism?

How is a mom supposed to make informed choices about what is safe in pregnancy and what is not safe if the FDA won't regulate them?
Today I had a conversation with Anna, a Radical Mom, about how "Big Formula" is intentionally preying on new vulnerable mothers and sabotaging their breastfeeding relationships just to make a buck.
Elvie introduced Rise and I have some issues not just with the price but with the marketing.
The invisible string that no one notices anymore ties these products right back to modern day feminism and taking mothers out of their homes and away from their families.
I might be a very different mother today if I'd rejected the victimhood mentality of motherhood and embraced the changed from the very beginning
I am musing over the difference in the environment we curate for our oldest child verses the one that our second baby inherits.
Did I just crack the code on those wild second babies or middle child syndrome?
A recording from DAYS after giving birth to my rainbow baby.
At 36 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby, we decided to leave the care of our OB and switch to a home birth midwife. Trusting my body through birth and honoring the birth process was the most healing experience for all of us.
Here are some questions I'm exploring in today's episode:
Are abortion laws the reason women are dying in pregnancy?
How do we justify our belief that abortion is wrong with the idea that women need miscarriage care?
Should doctors be held responsible for knowing the laws?
