  • Every episode is an advertisement for her course

    I can appreciate running a business and pay walling some information, but every episode is just a long description of topics that will be covered in the course. Listened to stages of labor episode, and absolutely none of the stages of labored were discussed, just talking about how important it is to know them.

  • Incredible resource!!

    This podcast is an incredible resource. The episodes are so clear and straightforward with so much great info packed into each one. For example, if you are considering an induction, please listen to episode 137 first. But seriously, just start listening early pregnancy and listen to them all. It’s really so educational and important for better birth outcomes.

  • Best birth podcast

    Started listening after a fellow crunchy, naturally minded friend recommended it to me. I’m so thankful for all the free information she gives you in these episodes. I’m 16 weeks pregnant and will be doing her birth course! So much information about your rights as a mom and just evidence based information! So good!

  • Homebirth mentality

    I am having my baby in the hospital due to money but I want it to be like a home birth as much as possible and this podcast has really helped me learn about my rights as a mother and the steps I want to take to have an unmedicated physiological birth. I definitely reccomend this podcast to any mom who wants tips about giving birth unmedicated or medicated because Lizzie has really good advice for lots of things!
