The Birth Story I Can’t Stop Thinking About

The Truth About Your Menstrual Cycle That No One Ever Taught You

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2489603/fan_mail/new] In this episode of What They Didn't Tell You: From Core to Floor, Dr. Millie sits down with fertility awareness educator and founder of Reclaim Womanhood, Pessy Schwartz, for a powerful conversation about reconnecting with the wisdom of the female body. Together, they explore what it truly means to reclaim womanhood beyond cultural expectations and gender roles. Pessy shares how understanding the menstrual cycle isn't just about fertility, it's about recognizing your body's natural rhythms, embracing feminine energy, and living in greater alignment with yourself. You'll discover why your menstrual cycle is considered your "fifth vital sign," how each phase of the cycle carries its own purpose, and why symptoms may be messages rather than problems to silence. The conversation also dives into rest, productivity, burnout, nervous system healing, and the courage it takes to slow down in a world that constantly tells women to keep pushing forward. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating postpartum, coming off birth control, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of your body, this episode offers a fresh perspective that will change the way you think about hormones, femininity, and your overall well-being. In this episode, you'll learn: * What it really means to reclaim your womanhood * Why your menstrual cycle is more than just your period * The four phases of the menstrual cycle and their deeper meaning * How to work with your hormones instead of fighting them * The connection between feminine energy, rest, and healing * Why slowing down can transform your health and relationships * How your body communicates through your cycle * Practical ways to become more connected to your body's natural rhythm If you've ever felt disconnected from your body or frustrated by your hormones, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and inspired to see your cycle in a completely new light.

How to Have the Hospital Birth You Actually Want

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2489603/fan_mail/new] This one is such an important episode. I’m talking to Sheva Mintz, a labor and delivery nurse at a high-risk hospital in Florida, mama of three, and someone who is deeply passionate about helping women walk into birth feeling educated, calm, and empowered. She believes in movement, breath, trusting the female body, and also in the value of medical support when it’s actually needed. If you’re planning a hospital birth and you want to feel informed instead of steamrolled, this one’s for you. We get into what advocacy really looks like in the delivery room, how to ask better questions before saying yes to interventions, what fetal monitoring is actually telling you, and why preparing for birth is about way more than just packing a hospital bag.  In this episode, we talk about: *  what advocacy in the hospital actually looks like  *  the difference between informed consent and just going along with whatever is offered  *  what to ask before interventions like breaking your water  *  what fetal monitoring, decels, and positioning really mean  *  how to choose a provider who aligns with the kind of birth you want  *  why hospital birth does not have to mean giving your power away  And a reminder... I’m also doing a free webinar on Sunday, June 7th all about how to prepare your body for birth. The details are linked here, and I would absolutely love to see you there.  If you’re pregnant, planning to be, or know someone who is, send this one to her.

The Birth Story I Can’t Stop Thinking About

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2489603/fan_mail/new] Season 4 is hereeee and we are kicking it off with such a special episode. In this conversation, I’m sitting down with Liat Buckman — women’s dietitian, hormone health educator, mama of four, and one of the smartest women I know when it comes to supporting women through their childbearing years. But today, we’re not talking about food. We’re talking about birth. And not just any birth. Liat is sharing the story of her first home birth after previous hospital births, and this episode honestly moved me to tears. We get into what led her to make this decision, how she chose her team, the fears she had going into it, and what it was like to prepare for birth in a way that felt deeply aligned, safe, and empowering.  This one is for you if: *  you’re pregnant  *  you’re thinking about birth in a deeper way  *  you’ve had a hospital birth that didn’t feel great  *  you’re curious about home birth  *  or you just love a really beautiful, honest birth story  In this episode, we talk about: *  what led Liat to choose a home birth after prior hospital experiences  *  how she found the right midwife team and built trust with them  *  what kind of emotional and physical prep she did before labor  *  the fears and questions that came up around home birth safety  *  how labor actually started and what unfolded from there  I loved this conversation because it’s such a reminder that birth is not just about outcomes. It’s about how a woman feels in the process. Safe. Seen. Supported. Heard. And that matters so much.  If you’re preparing for birth and want extra support, I’ve also included my free guides here to help you feel more ready in your body. Love you guys. Enjoy this one.

How Deleting Social Media Changed My Life

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2489603/fan_mail/new] If you’ve been feeling a little off lately, scrolling more, thinking more, trusting yourself less, this one’s for you sis!!!!!! In this episode, I’m sharing what happened in the land of Millie when I deleted social media… and why it changed way more than just my screen time. We’re talking about what it looks like to get quiet enough to hear your own body again.  This is how you start trusting yourself again.  Most women aren’t disconnected because they’re broken.  They’re disconnected because they’re overstimulated. And your body is talking but YOU AIN'T LISTENING HONEY Inside this episode: *  What shifted (mentally + physically) when I got off social media  *  Why constant input blocks your intuition (and what to do about it)  *  The connection between your nervous system, pelvic floor, and emotional health  *  How to start hearing your inner voice again *  Simple, realistic ways to build self-care into your day (especially if you’re a mom or busy)  We also get into what real self-care actually looks like (hint: it’s not more stuff), and how to create a life where you feel clear, grounded, and like yourself again. And if you’ve been craving a space like that, this is exactly why we created Core Girls Club.
