Preparing for Birth, Postpartum, and Everything After with Megan and Taylor of Be Birthwise

Megan Miller and Taylor Nowak are sisters, moms, and childbirth educators who took their combined backgrounds in the labor and delivery field - working as a doula and a labor and delivery nurse, respectively - and created something special: Be Birthwise, a class on labor, postpartum, newborn basics, and breastfeeding. Located in Nashville, TN, the class is designed to be a one-stop shop for new parents, equipping them to feel empowered and prepared for birth, postpartum, and everything after. My conversation with these girls made for what might be my favorite podcast episode yet. Not only are they full of knowledge about childbirth, postpartum, and calming new moms' anxieties, they also genuinely love and are passionate about motherhood. I am so excited to hear what y'all think of this episode! To sign up for a Be Birthwise Class, click here [https://www.bebirthwise.com/birthclassregistration] and use code ITSALLGOOD for $50 off!
