Why didn't someone tell me this when I was pregnant?!

I’ll be honest—when I first launched my breastfeeding course, Teach Me How to Breastfeed! it felt like a massive undertaking. But I knew I was creating a valuable resource that could empower new mothers time and time again while providing consistent support as they navigated their breastfeeding journeys.

Fast forward to 2024, and that very same course has made a significant impact on countless families, helping them build confidence and achieve their breastfeeding goals!

I know that the reason I've impacted so many lives is because I created the exact course that I wished someone would have told me about when I was pregnant and interested in breastfeeding. 

This episode will give you all of the deets to find clarity around the decision you make when it comes to how you plan to feed your baby.

Tune in and take a listen!

Happy Birthing! 

As always, thank you so much for tuning in to this episode.

Understanding that becoming a mom is more than an Instagram highlight reel is a must! 

It requires a very involved transition that's worth every challenge to be the best mom for your baby. 

You're pregnant, so I'm sure you know the importance of what it takes to give birth. But, are you aware of the common things that happen during postpartum?

 I'll be honest – when I gave birth, I really struggled with my transition into motherhood. I didn't know about baby blues, postpartum depression or self-care... and I made a lot of mistakes in those early days. But it doesn't have to be the same for you! 

Today, you're in the best hands to learn what really happens in the immediate postpartum - after you've given birth but before you're back to feelin' like your old yourself. In today's episode I talk about what the transition of becoming a mommy is actually like.

I'll outline the seven (less talked about but insightful) challenges for new moms. That's right, I cover everything from sl...

Here’s how a birth blueprint will take your birth to the next level.

As a mom of 2, I know how excited you are to give birth. I also know it’s incredibly overwhelming trying to figure out how to prepare for it. Especially if you've never done it before. My friend, birth preparation is one of the most challenging aspects of giving birth! And if you’re relying solely on google, it can be even more difficult. 

Although google is great for quick tidbits, it won't fully support you for birth. The missing piece is often having a plan...a blueprint! And that’s where Bump To Bundle Blueprint comes in! It's a step-by-step guide to help you go from novice to pro. This strategy will support you from birth through postpartum.

I know – it almost sounds too good to be true! But believe me, the secret success of this strategy is backed by real data from my work as a doula and from tons of my students who have created blueprints that have helped them birth well. So, today, I’m lifting the curt...

As a mom AND doula, I completely understand that the birth of your sweet baby is SUPER important to you. So, the thought of trusting someone to support you through that process is a BIG decision.

That’s why I want to share with you the top 5 questions you must ask when hiring a doula. Whether this is your first birth or not, asking these questions will relieve tons of stress and point you in the right direction for finding a doula that can meet your birthing needs.

I don’t believe there’s any special prize for birthing by yourself – it’s okay to ask for help. I promise you're more likely to have a positive birth experience with the right support! 

Today, you’ll hear about: 

•  What is a doula? 
•  Why is finding the right doula so important?
• 5 Questions you must ask when finding a doula

...And as if that wasn't enough. I've included a full checklist of questions for you to reference on your journey to finding the right doula for you!

Listen in for all you need to know abou...

Everyone asking, "What do you need for the baby?" Or "How can I help?" Here’s my 6 simple ways to guide your village towards successfully supporting you after birth.

The thought of giving birth is enough to overwhelm you. I know that because not only have I felt this way before, but I've supported clients who've expressed the same sentiment.

Sometimes the thought of asking for support in specific areas can feel a bit forward - even to the point where you question if you should say anything at all (or just carry the load) After all, you're a master at "getting things done".

But let me tell you my sweet friend, setting yourself up for postpartum success is the new flex.

You are growing and giving birth to a whole human. That's definitely worthy of the rest and recovery you need to successfully transition into motherhood.

Now here’s the good news. In this episode, I’m sharing my simple 6 ways to be supported by friends and family in the first week (wait for it) ...WITHOUT having...

I'll be honest - while most of it has been well-intended, a lot of it has been inaccurate and sometimes not true! (Just so we're clear: it's impossible to spoil a newborn)

The thing is, when you’re just starting out, you gotta learn how to be confident when tackling the tough issues — and the sooner you understand that the more time you'll have to spend on the important things, like creating special moments with the people who matter most and bonding with your baby.

That’s why I recorded this episode for you. In it, I share the simple yet specific tips for new moms to be confident even when the topics get sticky. 

How do I deal with that family member who insists on offering their opinion? I'm glad you asked my sweet friend.

Tune in to this episode to learn when and how to create healthy boundaries. Let's face ...

Here's what you need to know about your cervix and how it dilates.

Wait... before we jump in to today's topic let me start by explaining why it's important to listen to this episode in it's entirety.

Your cervix is quite literally the gateway to your baby's arrival!

Without the progressive dilation of your cervix, medical interventions will need to be made in order to have a successful delivery.

Needless to say, understanding what affects your cervix dilation is the KEY TO BIRTHING SUCCESS!!!

In this episode, I’m going to walk you through the 6 things that will comprehensively play a part in how you progress when dilating while you labor and during birth.

How to curate the memory of a priceless lifetime moment (& how your sweet baby will thank you for it.)

I’m going to let you in on a little secret — documenting your pregnancy and birth is one of the smartest things you can do. Alright...so maybe that's not really a secret. But now that I've got your attention, let's talk about

Why you should intentionally record/document aspects of your birth journey.

Let's face it. Giving birth is arguably one of the most important things you'll ever do. And for that reason alone, it's worth remembering.

This is truly something I wish someone would have stressed to me and thus the reason I'm stressing it to you.

I'm not one for regret. However, if given a second chance, documenting my pregnancy is definitely something I'd jump at the opportunity to intentionally and carefully do.

Here’s the good news. By listening to this episode, you can slam the door in the face of regret (concerning your pregnancy at least) - before it ever comes a knock...

The Do's and Don'ts of umbilical cord care.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret — less is more...especially when we're talking about how to care for your sweet baby's umbilical cord.

Shortly after you give birth, your baby's umbilical cord is snipped, leaving behind a small stump that will fall off within a few weeks.

Before you're ready to leave the hospital with your newborn, it's important to know how to care for the umbilical cord stump. Your doctor or nurse will likely briefly go over basic tips, but you may feel so overwhelmed with information that you find yourself unclear on how to deal with the belly button area once you get home.

And that’s why I wanted to record this episode for you. In it, I share The DO's and DON'TS for umbilical cord care. 

This is a quick listen so press play and enjoy!

As always, thank you so much for tuning in to this episode.
