Informed Consent in Childbirth: What You're Legally Owed (and Often Don't Get)

Informed consent isn't just a signature on a hospital form. It's an ongoing conversation that should happen before every procedure, every intervention, and every "routine" check during labor. So why do many parents leave birth feeling like decisions were made for them instead of with them? In this episode, we break down what real informed consent looks like in the labor and delivery room: the questions you're allowed to ask, the difference between consent and coercion, common moments where consent gets skipped (cough cough cervical exams cough cough), and how to advocate for yourself or your partner when things move fast. We also talk about how to prepare for these conversations before labor starts, so you're not negotiating your rights mid-contraction. We are also excited to announce a new partnership with Tempdrop - ovulation tracking made easier!

Gramnesia

Has it ever felt like your parents look back on your childhood with rose colored glasses? Or like they completely misremember things altogether? Turns out there's a name for it; gramnesia! The social media coined phrase covers the entire idea of grandparents having amnesia about their own kids' childhood, and we're talking about ways we experience it and why it might happen in the first place.

Toxic Parenting Phrases - What You Say To Your Kids Means More Than You Might Assume

Kids don't hear the intentions behind your words, they hear your exact words filtered through an egocentric and literal lens. Speak to them kindly; you're becoming the voice inside their head that they'll hear for the rest of their life.

Bonus Episode(PARENTING AFTER DARK): Summer House Amanda & West Timeline

This is for our other parents who are trying not to lose our minds raising these kids by doing what so many of us do: watching TV after they go to bed. We are diving into the Amanda and West timeline and their pretty evident affair while filming season 10 of Summer House. Because this is what we watch and talk about after our toddlers are asleep LOL LINKS patreon.com/c/holyshtwereparents reviveandthrivecoaching.org boobiesuperfoods.com/reviveandthrive comfrt.com/hannah66030 Instagram: @holyshtwereparents | @yourdoulahannah | @daddymuscles_

Old School Parenting Gurus (And Why They Actually Sucked)

For decades parents were told a specific set of "rules" for raising children without knowing anything about the people who created these rules to begin with. Turns out they were all pretty shitty and did not have your child's best interest at heart.
