One of the biggest ways I try to promote this mindset shift around birth is normalizing it! Women have been having babies since the dawn of time. We need to get back to the basics so hearing stories from women who have been down that path before us is powerful. Today I have a great guest on the show sharing her story of an empowered and confident birth center birth. We talked through her decision making, processing her first birth, postpartum depression and how she decided that she was going to have it different this time!

Dr. Stu came on the show to talk about my most favorite and most controversial topics, the medical system. We discussed what it looked like for both of us to start questioning the medical system as medical providers and he answers some important questions on How we got to a place where women started transitioning from the home to the hospital and if it has been beneficial for women or not. It was super insightful and an engaging conversation that I think you will love and may even challenge you!

Today I have Cari Samulson on the show. Cari is a Direct Entry Midwife and midwife at Sage Dragonfly Midwifery. She is married to her very supportive husband who is a farmer in rural Nebraska. She is a Homebirth mom and has 4 kiddos. I brought her on today to talk about the current situation in Nebraska in regards to Homebirth.
You’ll hear more in this episode and even if you aren’t from Nebraska or even the United States I would still encourage you to listen to this episode and hear what your sisters are having to face when deciding where when and how they want to birth.
Cari is the President and Founder of Nebraska Birth Choice Advocates which is a non-profit that connects and supports women with the foundation of autonomy and respect while giving them access to informed choices. We have a really great conversation from a moms point of view and share the harsh realities and lack of support in our beloved state.
I hope this episode informs you and fires you up to get involved with changing the culture where ever you are to support women no matter what their birth choices are! Let’s get into the show!

If you've ever been postpartum before you know that you can feel all sorts of emotions... good and bad! Sometimes you may feel a little crazy or extremely down. What some call "normal" or maybe "just give it some time and you'll get over it" may really be something that can be easily addressed!
Today Jamie Rathjen joins me on the show! She shares some amazing information about postpartum hormones including something your doctor may not know about or talk about when it comes to postpartum depression.
This conversation is a must listen to help you feel empowered for your best postpartum!
