  • I’m Still Here: My Postpartum Journey
    Feb 5 2026

    Postpartum changed me in ways I didn’t expect and not all of them were beautiful or Instagram-worthy. In this episode, I’m sharing my real postpartum journey: the physical recovery, the emotional whiplash, the identity shift, and the quiet moments no one really talks about. This is an unfiltered conversation about what happens after the baby arrives, for anyone who’s been there, is there now, or wants a more honest picture of motherhood.

  • Liquid Gold & Loud Truths
    Jan 30 2026

    Breastmilk may be liquid gold but, consent is priceless. In episode 3, we unpack the realities of breastfeeding, including the often misunderstood “every 2 hours” rule, how consent applies to feeding parents and why education matters more than rigid guidelines. This is a real, unfiltered conversation about feeding your baby while honoring your body, your limits, and your choices.

  • Support, Not Substitution: Understanding Doulas
    Jan 16 2026

    In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most common and misunderstood questions in birth and postpartum care: What exactly is a doula and what is a doula not?

    We talk about the real role of doulas, how they support birthing people and families emotionally, physically, and informationally, and why hiring a doula is about adding support not replacing partners, family members, or loved ones.

    Whether you’re pregnant, supporting someone who is, or just curious about doula care, this episode will help clear up myths, set realistic expectations, and explain how doulas work alongside your existing support system.
