New parents (and chiropractors) Hannah and Josh are sharing their experience having their first baby at home. It was so exciting talking to both of th...

Happy New Year! I can't believe we have made it to the end of this wild year! It's been more bad than good for sure, but some bright spots were sweet Hilda coming into this world (and so many of your adorable babies, too!) and getting to know so many of you, our amazing listeners and friends. We are SO thankful for you! Today we are chatting with Sharon, who was just so kind and easy to chat with....

Hi guys!!  It's DECEMBER! Like almost Christmas - how?! Anyway - wow. Hope you have everything in order for the holidays and are enjoying this cozy time with your fam! :) Today we are chatting with Savannah, who after her first birth did NOT go to plan, went down the natural rabbit hole and wound up having a home birth, like sooo many we have heard from before! We just love when women realize...

Hi everyone! Today we talk to Amy, who had 2 less than ideal hospital births before finding her groove in home birth. Her 4th baby has a little surprise to it, so make sure you stay tuned and listen!

Hi guys!  Just wanted to let you know first off - Colleen had a rough go of it for her first birth so if you’re trying to avoid negative birth stories, try skipping about halfway through. Her second was positive and lovely! Colleen had an easy first pregnancy and assumed birth would be the same. Although she had hoped for a natural labor, she was exhausted and decided to opt for an epidural. She e...

Jona is so easy to talk to and we loved hearing her birth story. She is super fit and walked her entire pregnancy, even during labor! I tried to steal her birthday cake idea to get my own labor kickstarted, but it didn't work out for me.. I did enjoy the cake, though, so thanks for the idea, Jona! :) Follow her on Instagram - she's so fun and you'll love her stories! Did you hear?! We...

Hi everyone! We are back with part 2 of Brooke's story, which is her second homebirth! Brooke touches on how becoming a mother really changed her trajectory in life - especially her career choices. I'm sure a LOT of you mamas can relate there! Thanks again to Brooke for telling her story for us all, it was so great to chat with her! You can get in touch with Brooke and follow her story on...

Hi guys! Brooke was kind enough to tell us about both of her home birth experiences and did such a great job that we decided to break her story into two parts! Her first baby was born at home and Brooke tells us all about her desire to be a mom and start down a career path- we are sure many other moms can relate!  Follow Brooke to get in touch! Don’t forget to follow along on instagram and give us...

We have a very special guest today! Kali took the week off and it's just me & my awesome husband Steve. We're sitting down to chat about our homebirth with Felix in celebration of him turning ONE this week! He talks about how he got on board with my idea to have a homebirth just weeks before my due date. Have you checked us out on YouTube yet? Head over and check out what we're doi...

Hi guys! So we're finally back! From the title of the episode, you may have figured out that yes, I had a baby! She's a sweet little muffin named Hilda Bonnie and we are all so in love. As I talked about previously, my first two babies were born in hospitals and I did not enjoy the experiences. Home birth has always been a dream of mine and I am so happy I got to have such a wonderful birth! Don't...

Hi guys! Wow, Aly is... AWESOME. We were SO excited to have her on. Not only is she an advocate for birth empowerment and the importance of informed consent, but she's a doula and nurse, too. She knows her stuff! You will love her story and hearing about how her unplanned c-section led her down a path of knowledge and culminated with her home birth. She's expecting #3 and we can't wait...

Hi guys! Today for our 25th episode (!!) we chat with Jamie. Jamie's story is so inspiring! Her unplanned c-section after induction with her first led her down a natural path in health and life.

Hi everyone! Welcome back! You're going to love Laura. Really, truly! She is so fun and easy to talk to and her background in wellness just lends itself so well to her home birth story.  Beyond her birth story, she talks about the wellness center she runs with her husband and touches on the importance of chiropractic care, during pregnancy, birth and beyond! Trust us guys, it's a good one!...

Hi guys! Thanks for tuning in today. We have Rachael on and her story is so redemptive. She had to have a planned c-section with her first baby but that didn't stop her from achieving her dream birth with her second. VBAC can seem scary and impossible but we've talked to some really inspiring moms who were able to achieve that goal! So we are still collecting responses about the future of...

Hi guys! We are back! Thanks for being patient with us... we lost our grandmother, who we were so fortunate to have such a close relationship with. Our kids were also so lucky to have known her for so long and each had such a special bond with her. It's been a tough couple weeks but we are just trying to take care of ourselves and each other during this really difficult time. So wow. I am so g...

Guys - wow. This story is like nothing you've ever heard. And we want to put a warning here that sexual assault is mentioned, so if that bothers you, you may want to skip this one. Elle's first birth ended in a VBAC and left her feeling devastated. She became a student of birth, educating herself and constructing her plan for her ideal second birth.  I won't give away the details,  but...

Amber's story is so real and raw. Sometimes pregnancy doesn't come quite as easily as we'd imagined! As the years ticked on, Amber and her husband eventually started down the road to IVF. Around that same time, Amber's eyes were opened to a more natural way of living. Miraculously, Amber was able to overcome great odds and get pregnant naturally! Her story really inspired us to tru...

Jessica, like many of us, had a negative view on birth. We always say this, but everyone LOVES to share a negative birth experience with an expecting mama, right?! It's so easy to be scared by what we've heard or by how birth is portrayed, but Jessica decided to simply step away from the negativity and replace it with positivity, and listening to positive birth stories is a beautiful, easy...
