Choosing an unmedicated birth doesn't mean choosing to feel everything with no plan. It means building a different kind of plan - one that is more effective, more accessible, and more overlooked than anything a hospital can offer you. In this episode... more

  • Hospital hostility

    I was hoping for more encouragement on having a natural hospital birth, but the two episodes I listened to just made me afraid of hospitals. I get that Taylor hates hospitals, but if birth is all about mindset, I donโ€™t want a mindset of stepping into enemy territory when Iโ€™m in labor. There is some good practical advice about unmedicated hospital births, but wrapped in hostile lingo towards doctors and hospitals. Makes me feel drained and more anxious.

  • So informative!

    This podcast is a game-changer! I love Taylorโ€™s energy and content. It has helped me so much as a first time mom-to-be. I love when she shares her personal stories. The way she encourages us to make our own decisions and teaches us how to do it is SO appreciated. Itโ€™s helped me feel so much more prepared and confident. Highly recommend it to any expectant parent! ๐Ÿ’›
