Girl, your Instagram saved folder is NOT a birth prep plan 👀 There's a big difference between knowing a whole lot about birth and actually being prepared to give birth. In this episode, we're talking about why it's so easy to get stuck in the information rabbit hole, what intentional birth preparation actually looks like, and how to do your part while trusting God with the rest.
Hey! Today, we’ve got a special guest joining us - Allison from raising.lions.not.sheep_ on Instagram. She’s a mom of three and a huge advocate for medical freedom, passionate about sharing the truth about the procedures and interventions that affect our babies.
If you’ve ever wished your husband or birth partner would actually GET IT when it comes to birth prep, momma, this episode is for you. I’m chatting with Travis Stroud, aka Doula Dude, about why men need to stop treating birth as “her thing” and start learning how to actually show up for the woman and baby they’re responsible for protecting. We go DEEP into birth education, unlearning what we’ve been taught, protecting momma’s peace, taking ownership of your birth choices, and why preparing for birth is really preparing for parenthood.
We've all heard it: "Well... as long as the baby is healthy." It sounds comforting, grateful - even reassuring. But what if that phrase is actually shutting down one of the most important conversations we need to be having about birth? 👀
Choosing an unmedicated birth doesn't mean choosing to feel everything with no plan. It means building a different kind of plan - one that is more effective, more accessible, and more overlooked than anything a hospital can offer you. In this episode, I break down exactly why preparation is your most powerful pain management tool and what that preparation actually looks like in practice.
