In this episode, I sit down with two incredible dietitians who have created a prenatal and postnatal supplement designed to fully support a healthy pregnancy and postpartum journey. We discuss the high-quality ingredients and the added botanicals that make this supplement not only beneficial for pregnancy but also a great option for anyone looking to improve their overall health. I share my own experience with their product and how it has dramatically improved how I feel, wishing I had known about it during my own pregnancies. As a small company dedicated to maintaining the highest integrity, I’m excited to help them grow and share their mission of supporting women with quality, well-researched supplements. Tune in to learn more about how this product can be a game-changer for your health!Jeanne Reilly is a mom of 2, Registered Dietitian, and Co-Founder of I Am Nurtured. Becoming a mom was the most rewarding and humbling experience of her life as she realized that despite having all the training & credentials to be a "nutrition expert", she was taught next to nothing about how to take the very best care of her baby & herself from pre-conception through postpartum. She knew enough to see that the products on the shelves were not cutting it and she set out, with her co-founder, to create a solution. Families everywhere deserve to be nurtured from a trusted source. Born out of the lived experience of this mom and years of research, I Am Nurtured proudly supports mamas everywhere with the highest quality, most effective nutrition support for the most important times of their lives.Skylar Nelson is a dad of 1, Registered Dietitian, and co-founder of I Am Nurtured. His background in nutrition is in metabolic disorders, but he quickly shifted his focus to pre and post natal nutrition as he and I wife were struggling with the challenges of infertility while trying to conceive their son. After the birth of his son, his wife faced more issues with low milk production. Seeing an opportunity to help others facing the same challenges, he and his co- founder and fellow dietitian Jeanne, worked to develop a solution. Enter, I Am Nurtured, a supplement company focused on delivering the best nutrients to mamas and their families.   Link to Prenatal Single https://audenti.city/7k8pg1mmCwLink to Prenatal 6 month savings https://audenti.city/9J-V8H4sVQLink to Prenatal 9 month savings https://audenti.city/aEzPvTcLggLink to Single with Postnatal Boost Combo  https://audenti.city/vMiH5ALiWQPrenatal Single- https://audenti.city/7k8pg1mmCwPrenatal + Postnatal Duo https://audenti.city/vMiH5ALiWQ3 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/b-uGKM2YIg6 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/9J-V8H4sVQ9 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.cSupport the showFor more info visit my website https://www.emmyrobbindoula.com/ or follow me on FB or Instagram @EmmyRobbinDoula

Let me know what you think! If you want to email me visit my website so I can respond! Cervical checks during labor, while commonly practiced, can often be detrimental to the natural birthing process. These checks involve manually assessing the dilation of the cervix to determine the progress of labor. While the intention behind this practice is to provide a measure of how far along a laboring person is, it can inadvertently disrupt the physiological process.Shifting Focus from Sensations to NumbersA key issue with cervical checks is that they shift the laboring person's focus from their internal sensations to an external measurement. Labor is an intensely personal and inward journey, where the birthing person must connect deeply with their body’s signals. When a cervical check is performed, it interrupts this inward focus, making the laboring person concentrate on a numerical dilation measurement instead.This shift can create anxiety or disappointment, especially if the number does not align with their expectations or perceived progress. Such emotional responses can hinder the natural release of hormones like oxytocin, which is crucial for labor progression. Trusting one's body and its signals becomes more challenging when external validation seems to take precedence.Rapid Changes in DilationCervical dilation is not a linear process. A laboring person can go from one centimeter to full dilation (ten centimeters) in a remarkably short time—sometimes less than an hour. This rapid progression highlights the futility of relying on periodic checks to gauge labor's progress accurately. A seemingly slow dilation at one moment can quickly accelerate, making previous measurements obsolete and potentially misleading.The Case for Sensation-Based LaborFocusing on sensations rather than numbers allows the laboring person to stay attuned to their body's unique rhythm. Each contraction, each breath, and each movement plays a role in the birth process. By remaining inwardly focused, the laboring person can better respond to their body's cues, facilitating a smoother and more intuitive labor experience.Alternatives to Cervical ChecksInstead of routine cervical checks, birthing professionals can support laboring individuals by observing external signs of labor progression. These include changes in behavior, vocalizations, and the physical position of the baby. Encouraging a laboring person to trust their body and providing a calm, supportive environment can often be more beneficial than relying on numerical dilation measurements.Recognizing the rapid and unpredictable nature of cervical dilation further underscores the need to prioritize a laboring person's experience and intuition over routine checks. By doing so, we honor the natural birthing process and support a more empowering and less intrusive labor experience.So in conclusion......... stop getting them. Prenatal Single- https://audenti.city/7k8pg1mmCwPrenatal + Postnatal Duo https://audenti.city/vMiH5ALiWQ3 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/b-uGKM2YIg6 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/9J-V8H4sVQ9 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.cSupport the showFor more info visit my website https://www.emmyrobbindoula.com/ or follow me on FB or Instagram @EmmyRobbinDoula

Let me know what you think! If you want to email me visit my website so I can respond! Dr. Sara Edwards has devoted her 35-year career to transforming nurse-midwiferyresearch, education, and clinical practice caring for women before, during and after pregnancy and birth. She is also a nurse researcher examining how the mother’s gut microbiome health impacts fetal and maternal health. Over her career, caring for tens of thousands of women and delivering 3000 babies, she noticed that women have frequent issues which she also experienced during her two pregnancies. Issues such as poor sleep, exhaustion, brain fog, rapid weight gain, poor digestion, heightened stress at work and at home, often lead to or coexist with anxiety and depressed mood. She sought to understand this all better, so she began her pioneering research of the maternal brain-gut axis and gestational weight gain in the perinatal population most atrisk, Black women and their infants. This NIH-funded and published research has the power to improve the lives of millions, particularly Black women, who are 3.5 times morelikely to suffer perinatal complications and death compared to U.S. White women.Throughout 20 years as a clinical professor at Emory University, her work extended to research protocols, educational programs, and multidisciplinary practices worldwide, enhancing the global visibility of nursing science. Her extensive clinical leadership in various practice settings, including as a founding midwife of the Atlanta Birth Center and now in solo practice at Pregnancy and Wellness Maui, together with her academic acumen have informed her work at the state, national and international levels. In Spring 2024, she launched a free preeclampsia screening app she co-designed called Materna BP, available for iOS and android phones. Today, Sara is CEO and founder of Sara Edwards Wellness, an online perinatal health coaching business for women wanting evidence-based support and guidance for an empowered pregnancy, strong baby, and a transformative labor and birth. What she has learned is that the fundamentals are key to robust health and these truths are largely ignored, if not undermined, by healthcare practitioners today. High tech interventions are not what promotes health or saves lives in most cases, rather the time-honored truths of eating and living well lead to the greatest degree of flourishing. She looks forward to sharing these truths which form the basis of her signature program, The Pregnancy Protocol.Sara Edwards LLC Instagram https://www.instagram.com/saraedwardsllcSara Edwards Coaching Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/saraedwardscoaching/The Optimized Health in Pregnancy Facebook Communityhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/384818263924730/?rdid=h9boBD0rBsh62qO9&share_url=https%3A%2F%2FwwPrenatal Single- https://audenti.city/7k8pg1mmCwPrenatal + Postnatal Duo https://audenti.city/vMiH5ALiWQ3 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/b-uGKM2YIg6 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/9J-V8H4sVQ9 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.cSupport the showFor more info visit my website https://www.emmyrobbindoula.com/ or follow me on FB or Instagram @EmmyRobbinDoula

This is years of pent up frustration, but also our deep desire to empower women.  If you listen all the way through, it will be a journey of empowerment, education, emotions, fascinating stories, and why we are NO LONGER STAYING SILENT! I have so much respect for midwives and wise women who truly respect the physiological process of birth. There is a NOTICEABLE shift happening since 2020. Many new midwives are nurses who left the hospital and many women who saw the rise in home birth and decided to join that profession. The shift of women desiring to birth at home is incredible, but I am finding that midwives are burning out and acting more like hospital protocols at home. THIS NEEDS TO STOP. My hope is that midwives DO contact me to have this conversation. I have one on one coaching sessions with so many traumatized home birth and ESPECIALLY birth center mamas. It is truly breaking my heart. I WANT to have more options for mamas. Unlearning bad habits is a hard thing to do as a human, but for the sake of humanity this needs to happen! Workshop we discuss : Karen Strange! https://karenstrange.comDr Michele Odent: https://momcenter.am/about/Best book: Birth Reborn: https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/birth-reborn/id1474161062The cesarean: https://www.amazon.com/Caesarean-Michel-Odent/dp/1853437182Also one more amazing book by Frederick Leboyer: Birth without violence:https://www.amazon.com/Birth-without-Violence-Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9rick-Leboyer/dp/1594772975/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=162110100160&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PkbUoq4gKD-F9Vy_u59fh5Fxngtzh9Pa43OGjrtmVUYXuXxKFnqMb1tg0vkXw4mh7gplovjc2KLan7ZsMAa2nuHcF22KK3FsnJFKfisHCDm0-dphW_kSrw3_A4T_pqJTGXJ-SoTfVfPXaXnCNk2ihlqZVO3xmT7Edl5gs2ursnAOQs-PQ3dV6dRqhN2uPEfmE93DMwm-4eBAFq4EIc2RCg.QiLB-Ovow2Exo7gBYylq9CyV_ZXfFryfFqBR7jVq23o&dib_tag=se&gad_source=1&hvadid=692941797533&hvdev=m&hvexpln=68&hvlocphy=9190236&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=9563368711389062194--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=9563368711389062194&hvtargid=kwd-329971787684&hydadcr=15151_13597696&keywords=birtPrenatal Single- https://audenti.city/7k8pg1mmCwPrenatal + Postnatal Duo https://audenti.city/vMiH5ALiWQ3 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/b-uGKM2YIg6 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/9J-V8H4sVQ9 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.cSupport the showFor more info visit my website https://www.emmyrobbindoula.com/ or follow me on FB or Instagram @EmmyRobbinDoula

Let me know what you think! If you want to email me visit my website so I can respond! Disclaimer: I am not a doctor.... I am a doula who has witnessed a plethora of births both completely undisturbed at home and induction at hospital. I come from a place of seeing the hospital births being scarier and less natural. The lies are unnecessary and unneeded. They happen to coerce women into speeding things up and rushing the process because hospitals have zero patience with birth. This is my observation. I see better birth outcomes at home. That is fact. The most recent home birth transfer to a hospital had me baffled by the amount of LIES I heard. This was into midwifery care in the hospital as well. Some that I heard were...-"The wireless monitor doesn't pick up the contractions as well as the wired one" (these monitors are not an accurate device at all at measuring if a mother is having contractions/how strong and I see it being used as a gas lighting tool far too often to push intervention) -"The baby's accelerations with the contraction is a sign that the baby is OP" (sunny side up)-"Pitocin does not stress the baby out and is the exact same thing as Oxytocin"-"A baby NEEDS to be stressed out before being born to help open their lungs" (this one had me fuming)-"With Preeclampsia the blood pressure can go up and down even if it stays down you still have it" (after I hydrated mom and her BP never once shot over 120/70 for the rest of birth 30+ hours) -"Contractions slowing down is bad"I am still upset that many women across the world experience these lies as well as many other lies to manipulate them into complying. Please please empower yourself to "spot the lies". This is how you advocate for yourself. Protocol 7 will be out this summer!!

Jenna began her career in 2006 as a certified personal trainer and mindset coach for celebrities like Ben Stiller, Katy Perry, Jeremy Piven, Saudi Arabian royalty, and the Marciano family (founders of Guess).In 2011, she discovered the world of emotional intelligence, experiential trainings, and somatic practices. She then realized she had a bigger calling and began studying human behavior, leadership, and a variety of transformational methods.She became passionate about coaching larger groups of influencers and leaders to make a responsible, profound, and sustainable impact in their relationships, companies, and communities. So, In 2016, she co-founded Ascension Leadership Academy (ALA) with her husband Brad Ballard  ALA’s students have collectively raised over $3.5MM for local non-profit organizations.As a mother of two boys, she is consciously creating the next generation of leaders and makes sure to be a giant 5 year old with them.

Check out her album on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/artist/1WhXDiQSqFlFz0hz8paKxQWe dive into her 1st birth compared to her redemption birth and how the power of somatics and what we manifest and pray for is so important. I helped empower Jenna to navigate the gaslighting and bullying that most experience, but with her type 1 diabetes and of course being advanced maternal age I knew she would experience a little more than the average. She is a rockstar y'all she truly manifested a beautiful birth. Visit her website here https://jennaphillipsballard.com/I want to note that I do point out the things I witnessed not to diminish her incredible birth, but to bring attention to the abuse that is so subtle in the system that only the doula can spot it.

Let me know what you think! If you want to email me visit my website so I can respond! This episode was such a mind bending and stomach turning episode packed with so much information. If you or anyone you know is "questioning" circumcision or male genital mutilation, I highly encourage you to listen to this episode. We discuss how this barbaric practice started, why it is still performed to this day in America, discuss the actual important function of the foreskin, and break down common myths around why we are still told this practice "should" be performed. I also love how we covered if you have an intact baby, do not ever stretch the foreskin back "to clean it". Clean what you see :) If you wish to join the fight to end this barbaric practice please go to www.intactglobal.org, so you can become monthly donors to the litigation efforts to end MGM on a constitutional equal protection basis.

Let me know what you think! If you want to email me visit my website so I can respond! On this episode I speak with Audrey Ross an in person and virtual birth keeper, coach, educator, mother, and amazing voice for "wild pregnancy" and "free birth". In this episode we delve into the realms of physiological birth and how meddling disrupts this process. We also cover how the hospital system influences licensed midwifery, and the impact of societal narratives on pregnancy and birth. What we are told by a fearful practitioner can absolutely influence our pregnancy and birth. From finding true peace through wild pregnancy and learning to fully trust undisturbed "free birth" this episode is the pinnacle of my transition from semi-support of a free birth without a midwife to FULL trust in a woman's desire to birth how God intended. You can probably hear the journey from episode 1 to now. I have always been trusting of a woman to birth, but learning from wise women like Audrey, I have learned my role in a birth, if I'm honored to be present, isn't to save a mother but to truly support her leading the way. I'm so grateful to Audrey for sharing her wisdom and we could have talked for hours but I tried to pack as much as I could on these topics into one hour. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Let me know what you think! If you want to email me visit my website so I can respond! Lately my 1 on 1 trauma birth story processing sessions have not been with hospital birth... but home birth or birth center births where the MIDWIFE was acting like and Obstetrician. This is almost worse. With a hospital you are at least aware of what you are getting yourself into. Protocols, machines, medicine, schedules, timelines, pressure to perform on time, giving birth with a surgeon. When a mom hires a midwife they are looking for someone to support their true physiological birth and no intervention. Almost every mother I talk to feels like they were lied to. "I'm a very hands off midwife, I fully support your natural birth." Then 39/40/41 weeks approaches and they are telling moms natural ways to induce labor. This goes back to episode 27 Why are we messing with God's design. Then followed by Yovana's incredible HBAC at 43.1. I had a friend go to a midwife's class for couples to learn how to "support during childbirth" and she came to me after and said "I almost laughed because she said "does everyone remember the midwife's trick?" and they all responded with "take benedryl!". When she told me this my blood boiled. Why are midwives teaching THIS versus how normal prodromal labor can be and how to truly navigate it. A woman will usually be able to sleep when the waves slow down (usually during the day).  If she trusts that what is happening to her body is normal and flows with it, it may even allow her to progress. Position of the baby can be addressed with some spinning babies or rebozo work, some massage and music by the partner or doula, and telling her to trust her body and rest between the waves is the BEST thing to do. Instead now it's benedryl, castor oil, evening primrose oil, blue and black cohosh.... why? This is only ADDING RISK to your birth! Midwives should know this! Do they not SEE the transfer rate when they add benedryl and just tell them to sleep? That doesn't help. Then when they cervical check after cervical check and the mom is swollen or doubting herself now she transfers.... the cascade begins with ANY intervention. Even the natural ones. Stop worrying about going past 42 weeks either! Maybe your body gestates longer! Please please reach out if you need to work through some birth trauma or re write your birth with empowerment. Prenatal Single- https://audenti.city/7k8pg1mmCwPrenatal + Postnatal Duo https://audenti.city/vMiH5ALiWQ3 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/b-uGKM2YIg6 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/9J-V8H4sVQ9 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.cSupport the showFor more info visit my website https://www.emmyrobbindoula.com/ or follow me on FB or Instagram @EmmyRobbinDoula

Let me know what you think! If you want to email me visit my website so I can respond! Much like a battery the human body needs to recharge. We are all energy and we are all made up of one working nervous system. Craniosacral therapy has so many benefits for adults AND babies! I have seen the most "coliky" baby become so peaceful and happy after just one session so I am a HUGE fan of using this postpartum. CFT was something new to me. Raechal wanted to do a session on my C Section scar and then talk about how I felt after. I knew if she felt that strongly about the work and I needed to try it out. I thought I had done a ton of work on my scar. All the cupping, meditation, somatic healing, and even lymph massage.... but I never felt such a profound healing so quickly than I did when she hooked me up to the electrons plus machine and began her session on me. She is intuitive, caring, and knowledgeable of healing on such a deep level. If you live in the Austin area you MUST make an appointment to visit her! Everyone should feel this incredible feeling. I had such a fun time talking about the human body with her! Instagram @msraechal & @pregnancy.prep.mamaWebsites https://www.raechalmartin.com/ & https://www.pregnancyprepmama.com/Prenatal Single- https://audenti.city/7k8pg1mmCwPrenatal + Postnatal Duo https://audenti.city/vMiH5ALiWQ3 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/b-uGKM2YIg6 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.city/9J-V8H4sVQ9 Month Prenatal Supply https://audenti.cSupport the showFor more info visit my website https://www.emmyrobbindoula.com/ or follow me on FB or Instagram @EmmyRobbinDoula

Let me know what you think! If you want to email me visit my website so I can respond! "Why would you bring the trauma to the surface if someone remembers their birth without trauma?" My husband asked me this. My answer was "I don't just go around telling everyone they have birth trauma! When someone has PPA/PPD or bonding issues, it is most likely related to how they birthed that baby and to help them process THAT I have to get to where the body is storing the trauma and what caused it." I almost erased this episode right after recording it, but NO... I want to always be real with you guys and if my ADD is all over the place I will keep it. There are many things I touch on because I have been doing a LOT of trauma processing lately with women in all stages. So many things I wanted to touch on. Mainly, the body remembers even if you don't. So to regulate your nervous system you need to shed any negative experiences your body experienced. If you feel stuck, confused, dis regulated, depressed, anxious, or numb after your birth please reach out. https://www.emmyrobbindoula.com/book-a-1-on-1 Use coupon code FIRST25 to receive 25% off your first session. Empower yourself.
