The Birth Breakdown: Beyond the Bounce Back

The Birth Breakdown: Beyond the Bounce Back

In a world that celebrates “bouncing back” after birth, what if postpartum wasn’t about getting your old body back at all? In this episode, we dive into the pressures of bounce-back culture, the importance of true healing, and why your worth isn’t measured by the number on a scale or the size of your jeans. We’ll talk about balancing movement and self-care with the rest your body needs, honoring the physical, mental, and emotional changes that come with motherhood, and shifting the focus from returning to who you were to becoming a stronger, healthier version of yourself. Postpartum is not a race—it’s a season of healing, growth, and transformation. Not medical advice, just encouragement to do your own research and have TRUE informed consent 🙂 Weekly interview episodes released every Tuesday at 8:00am EST Weekly minisodes released every Thursday at 12:00pm EST Want to empower other women through YOUR story?

Baby on Board: A Surprise Car Birth with Shelby

Now, as she prepares to welcome baby number four with another planned home birth this July, she reflects on the lessons, challenges, and joys she’s experienced through each unique journey.

The Birth Breakdown: Circumcision- Questions Worth Asking

In this mini episode of Her Birth, Her Story, we’re diving into one of the most controversial parenting topics out there: circumcision.  This conversation can bring out strong emotions on both sides, so my goal isn’t to tell anyone what they should choose — it’s simply to encourage thoughtful, informed decision-making. I’ll be sharing perspectives and experiences I’ve heard from many different individuals, along with important things parents may want to consider or look into before making a decision.  I’ll also be linking an evidence-based article from Evidence Based Birth [https://evidencebasedbirth.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] that lays out the research, risks, benefits, and factors people don’t always think about in these conversations. It truly is so helpful when laying out true medical evidence to look at both risks and rewards. Here is that article: Evidence and Ethics on: Circumcision [https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-and-ethics-on-circumcision/] Not medical advice, just encouragement to do your own research and have TRUE informed consent 🙂 Weekly interview episodes released every Tuesday at 8:00am EST Weekly minisodes released every Thursday at 12:00pm EST Want to empower other women through YOUR story?
