In this first episode of the MomPowered Birth Podcast, Phyllis Herbe talks about what it really means to feel prepared for birth — without overwhelm, fear, or information overload.

This conversation focuses on mental readiness, steady confidence, and having just enough knowledge to feel calm and capable when it matters most.

You’ll hear about:

• What actually impacts labor
• Physical vs mental preparation
• Why every birth is a different experience
• How support changes in late pregnancy
• What moms often wish they had focused on more

This episode isn’t about controlling birth — it’s about trusting yourself inside of it.

If you’re in the second half of pregnancy and wondering if you’re truly prepared, this episode is for you.

Welcome to the MomPowered Birth Podcast — a space for real, honest conversations about pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early motherhood.

In this short trailer, host Phyllis Herbe shares what MomPowered really means: practical, evidence-based guidance led by moms who’ve been there, learned the hard way, and want to help make the path a little smoother for the next mom. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just real talk, humor, and the kind of insight you only get from lived experience.

If you’re looking for birth and motherhood conversations that feel grounded, empowering, and actually useful — you’re in the right place. New episodes coming soon.
