Welcome back, besties! We’re finally reunited, which means we have a lot to catch up on. We’re sharing life updates, celebrating our one-year podcast anniversary (even if we’re a little late after missing it back in May!), and reflecting on everything this past year has brought. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re just joining the fun, we’re so grateful you’re here. Thanks for being part of this journey—we can’t wait for what’s next!

Welcome back, besties! On today’s episode, Char is joined by a very special guest, her older sister Alex, as she shares her personal birth story with us. From pregnancy and labor to delivery and postpartum, we dive into the highs, lows, unexpected moments, and everything in between. Every birth experience is unique, and we’re so honored to hear Alex’s journey and the lessons she learned along the way.

Whether you’re expecting, navigating postpartum, or simply love hearing real and raw motherhood stories, this episode is full of honesty, emotion, and connection 🤍

Welcome Back Besties! You aren't the problem, social media is. We’ve all been there—scrolling through social media and suddenly feeling like everyone else has parenting figured out. In this episode, we’re talking about how social media can mess with your head as a new parent, from comparison to information overload. We share our own experiences, what helped us step back, and how to focus on what actually matters in this season of life.

Welcome back, besties! 💛

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into what life really looks like as a stay-at-home mom. We chat about the daily routines, the invisible labor, the guilt (hi, productivity pressure), the financial sacrifice, and the constant balancing act of being “on” 24/7. But we’re also celebrating the privilege, the tiny milestones, the midday cuddles, and the deep bond that comes from being home with your little ones.

Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, considering it, or just curious what it’s actually like behind the Instagram highlight reels, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and a little less alone. 💕

Welcome back besties! On this weeks episode Char is giving us an update on her mental health journey and diving into nervous system dysregulation. Our main educational topic is bottle washing—so if you want to skip ahead, fast forward to around the 38-minute mark where we finally get into it! Bottle washing might sound simple, but with so many products out there (and a lot of misleading info), it can get confusing fast. We’re here to guide you down the right bottle-washing path and help you feel confident in what you’re using for your little one.

Welcome back! In today’s episode, we’re talking all about sleep training methods. There are so many misconceptions around sleep training, and we’re here to break them down—what sleep training actually is, what it isn’t, and the different approaches available. There’s no one-size-fits-all method when it comes to sleep training; every baby and every family is different, and that’s okay. Our goal is to walk you through the various methods so you can feel informed and empowered to choose what works best for you, your baby, and your family.

Let’s talk about the real deal of postpartum doula life. The baby snuggles? Amazing. The late-night cluster feeding support? Real. The text-from-a-panicked-parent moments? Also real. This episode digs into the messy, beautiful, hilarious, rewarding world of helping families adjust in those early days. Whether you’re a new parent or dreaming of entering birth work, this one’s for you.
