  • Empowering

    I have recommend Lo (@thelabormama) to so many fellow birthing mama friends. Her approach to educating about the birth world is thorough, compassionate, and open-minded. Her love for motherhood and ability to hold and speak to two contradictory truths at the same time is sure to inspire, validate, and empower fellow mamas at any point in their journey. Love this podcast!

  • Lo is the absolute best!

    Lo walked me through birth back when we were pregnant at the same time in 2020… she made me feel empowered and informed, for a first time mama that brought me so much peace. She’s an amazing woman nurse mother friend; a wealth of knowledge and experience. I recommend her IG page and this podcast to anyone and everyone wanting to learn all about birth pregnancy and postpartum.

  • A Must for Expecting Moms

    I have loved following her on instagram for YEARS, and I am soo happy she has finally created a podcast. Lo is an incredibly intelligent & helpful resource. I listened to so many of these episodes before my second birth this year, and have recommended to all my pregnant friends. :-) She is such a great nurse resource for pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, and beyond!
