Per usual, I opened this episode with me babbling about not having a tv for a while, my favorite movie of all time being best man holiday which is definitely more of an unhealthy obsession.

Im back! Sorry for the delay between episodes, but i have another show review for you all! A handmaids tale, i must admit this is my 3rd time trying to get into this show. The first 2 episodes are really slow, but this isn't a action type of show. We get to explore the minds and lifestyles of a twisted group of people. In honor of black breast feeding week, i thought it would be fitting to talk a little about breastfeeding and what it can look like, i even talk a little about how i approach the topic of breast-feeding with my clients. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

AHHHHH We are at episode 10, and why not use this time to give you my thoughts on 'Coming 2 America', we are all hitting milestones. First off, i thought everyone did a really good job and the movie was actually funny. I will say that it was getting a little nervous that this sequel was actually a musical, and OG listeners know how i feel about musicals. Part 2 to this episode i thought it would be fitting to talk about circumcisions, i even drop some knowledge regarding Female Genital Mutilation.   --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In part 2, I am discussing how to create your ideal birth plan, from researching your birth options in your city/state, to going on consultations with providers, and of course my commentary in between.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Happy Valentines Day everyone! and Happy Feb. 14th to my cranky folx that don't think today is a special day. I have another Netflix original to recommend to you all, not so lovey dovey but def a must watch. Even if you liked the movie or not, you most def saw yourself or the partner you currently have/had otter one of the lines in this movie. In part B i thought it'll fitting to ramble on and on about what it's like being single, is this experience of mine due to me being a midwife, a cancer or because i have high expectations in men?

Surprise surprise! Im here again to recommend a Netflix movie, 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' I would say its all about the mother of blues but the writers and directors (which one of them being Denzel himself) did an amazing job of capturing each character, which resulted in equal screen time for each actor, theres tons of monologues when I'm sure is refreshing for the people that appreciate the fine art of films/acting would appreciate. In the 2nd part of this episode i try my best not to convince everyone to hire a midwife, but how to explore your birth options and how to tackle the fine art of finding a health care provider that will go along this journey of pregnancy with you.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
