We’ve been told for years that cesarean rates are high because women’s bodies are failing—that somehow, birth just doesn’t work anymore. But that’s not the truth.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s really driving those high cesarean numbers—and spoiler alert—it’s not biology, it’s bias.

You’ll learn:

💥 What “birth bias” actually means (and how it quietly shapes your care)

🏥 How hospital culture, provider fear, and outdated policies fuel interventions

👩‍⚕️ The difference between managing birth and supporting it

✊ How to spot bias in your own care—and what questions to ask instead

Because the problem isn’t your body. The problem is a system that stopped trusting it.

This episode will challenge what you’ve been told, open your eyes to how deep the conditioning runs, and remind you that your body was built to birth.

Tune in, get fired up, and let’s break this bias—together.

Let’s be real—sleep deprivation hits harder than anyone warns you. The fog, the tears, the moments where you question if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. It’s not just “new mom tired”—it’s a physiological and emotional storm that affects your healing, hormones, and mental health.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really happening in your body when you’re running on empty, why rest isn’t a luxury—it’s medicine—and how to navigate those brutal postpartum nights without losing yourself in the chaos.

We’ll talk survival strategies that actually help, how to protect your mental health, and what to do when the world keeps telling you to “sleep when the baby sleeps” (and you want to scream).

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t keep doing this,” this episode is for you.

Because you’re not weak—you’re human. And there’s a better way to care for yourself than pretending you’re fine when you’re running on fumes.

Listen in and let’s rewrite the narrative around postpartum sleep—because you deserve rest, not guilt.

One year. 13,205 downloads. 57 countries. 1,500 cities. Every continent (except Antarctica).

What started as a microphone, a mission, and a mama with something to say has turned into a community that stretches around the world — and that absolutely blows my mind.

In this anniversary episode, I’m sitting down to reflect on the past year — the growth, the pauses, the pivots, and the beautiful chaos that comes with chasing purpose while raising a family. I’m sharing where life has taken me lately, what’s next for the podcast, the heart behind my postpartum book You’re Not Broken, You’re Postpartum, and my five-year vision for my VBAC childbirth education course that’s finally coming to life.

This one’s real, raw, and full of gratitude. No empty promises — just honesty, intention, and excitement for what’s ahead.
