Foundations for the Childbearing Years

Ep. 20: Let's Learn About Physiologic Birth

Natural birth, unmedicated birth, physiologic birth....what does it all even mean? And more specifically, what does it mean for me?  I believe physiologic birth is the closest thing we have to God's design for childbirth, so join me as we dive in to this topic and learn what it could look like to give birth in this way, as well as why you would even want to!  Thanks for listening!

Ep. 19: All Things Pelvic Floor w/ Bryanna Wirth, PT, DPT

The episode I know you’ve all been waiting for - the pelvic floor! It’s slowly making its way into becoming a common household name, but there is still work to do. Maybe you’ve never heard of the pelvic floor, maybe you were told all you need to do to help your pelvic floor is just do a bunch of kegels, maybe you’ve been having symptoms you didn’t even know could be connected to the pelvic floor, or maybe you’re a regular in your pelvic floor physical therapist’s office - either way, this episode is for you. It’s PACKED full of incredible education on what the pelvic floor is and what it does, what to expect from a physical therapy session, when you might want to consider seeing one (and spoiler alert - it’s not just after you’ve had a bunch of babies), the connection between your nervous system and your pelvic floor, and we even cover some common misconceptions about the pelvic floor. It’s everything you didn’t know you needed to know!   Bryanna Wirth is an incredible wife and mama to two and the owner of Cultivate Pelvic Floor Therapy [https://cultivatepelvicfloortherapy.com/] here in Bryan/College Station.

Ep. 17: My Husband’s (Hot) Takes: Pregnancy, Birth, and Breastfeeding

In the final episode of the series, I bring my husband onto the mic to get his perspective on the topics we’ve tackled so far — from choosing to have kids, to embracing pregnancy with joy, to why we landed on homebirth and breastfeeding as our convictions. He shares what shaped his thinking, the conversations that mattered most in our marriage, what he wishes more husbands understood, and how couples can get on the same page when it comes to building a family with purpose. It’s honest, encouraging, and a refreshing look at these countercultural choices from a dad’s point of view. Thanks for listening!

Ep. 16: Breastfeeding Is Best - And My Tips to Actually Make It Successful

In this episode, I open up about why I’m unapologetically biased toward breastfeeding — biblically, biologically, and practically. We dig into God’s design for feeding infants, the unmatched benefits of breastmilk, and why breastfeeding is worth fighting for even when it’s challenging. I also share the mindset shifts, practical strategies, and simple habits that helped me succeed and can set you up for a strong breastfeeding experience too. Whether you’re pregnant, nursing your first baby, or looking for inspiration to try again, this episode will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that you were made for this.
