What To Eat During Pregnancy
In this episode, we’re breaking down pregnancy nutrition in simple, practical terms.

All of that requires raw materials, and food is where those materials come from! We’re also talking about

Are "Low-Risk" & "Hands Off" Synonomous?
In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misleading labels in modern maternity care: “low risk.” We talk about why this label often creates a false sense of safety, how it can actually lead to less support instead of more, and why being low risk doesn’t automatically protect you from unnecessary intervention.This conversation is about shifting from complacency to curiosity—so you’re not
