In this episode of Transformed by Birth, I'm joined by Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space, for a potent and deeply practical conversation about partnership, fairness, and the invisible labor of parenthood.

Together, we explore what happens when equal partners become unequal parents, why the mental load and emotional labor of family life still fall so heavily on women, and how patriarchy and capitalism quietly shape the structure of our homes. Eve shares how her "blueberries breakdown" became the catalyst for reimagining domestic labor, not as a personal failing, but as an organizational and relational problem that can be named, examined, and changed.

We talk about valuing time equally, the difference between ownership and "helping," why resentment builds when trust and accountability break down, and how expectant parents can set themselves up differently before a baby arrives. This episode is validating for anyone navigating the relationship upheaval that so often comes with parenthood.

In this episode of Transformed by Birth, I'm joined by somatic practitioner, embodiment coach, feminist health care advocate, and full-spectrum doula Pamela Samuelson for a courageous and deeply grounded conversation about bodily sovereignty in this cultural moment.

Together, we explore what it means to trust your body when systems of power undermine that trust. We talk about the continuum between reproductive rights, beauty standards, sexual violence, medical paternalism, and the subtle ways we are taught to doubt our own sensations.

Pam shares how reclaiming anatomy, touch, and embodied authority is not just personal work, but cultural resistance. We explore how self-trust is built through sensation, relationship, and community, and why becoming a parent can both expose and strengthen our roots.

This conversation is an invitation to remember: your body is not property, it is yours.

In this episode of Transformed by Birth, I'm joined by certified advanced birth doula, perinatal educator, international speaker, bestselling author, and the voice behind the Birthful podcast, Adriana Lozada, for a conversation that feels like it needs its own music intro.

Together, we explore the time warp of pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood. We talk about why minutes can feel like days while months disappear in a blink, how modern clock time clashes with physiology, and why timing contractions can become the first intervention in labor.

We also explore postpartum as baby time, what it means to hold a "both and" reality when life demands productivity while your body and baby move slowly, and how to build real support with intention. This episode is a grounding reframe for anyone wondering what happened to their ability to get anything done.
