Send us a textIn this episode of the Aligned Birth Podcast, doula Rachael Hutchins and doula Hannah Atterberry delve into the world of birth doula support discussing not only how doulas can impact birth, but their own doula parntership and agency as well.  From highlighting the significance of childbirth education and the multifaceted role of a doula to emphasizing the need for support during pregnancy and postpartum, they also explore the benefits of having a doula present during labor and the impact of doula partnerships on their work and client experiences.  They  emphasize that it's not just about the method of birth but about being seen, supported, and respected throughout the process that creates an empowering birth experience. They explore the philosophy behind birth plans, advocating for a deeper understanding of personal values rather than a checklist approach. The discussion transitions into the role of advocacy in the birth space, highlighting the need for doulas to empower birthing parents and facilitate communication with providers.

Leave a review! Breastfeeding didn't come naturally for me—and maybe it hasn't been for you either. In this episode, I'm opening up about the pain, the pressure, the unexpected joy, and the slow, emotional process of weaning. Whether you're in the thick of cluster feeds or wrestling with the decision to stop, you're not alone. Let's talk about the unspoken parts of breastfeeding—and why it's okay to feel both grief and gratitude at the same time.

For many expecting moms, weeks 13 to 27 are often considered the most enjoyable part of pregnancy. In this episode, learn everything you need to know to navigate the second trimester confidently.

You have likely settled into healthy routines, and with more stable moods and increased energy, you may feel more like yourself again. After the internal changes of the first trimester, the second brings noticeable physical changes. We will cover what to expect at your second-trimester prenatal appointments, key to-do items to focus on, and ways your partner can support you during this stage.     Thank you to our sponsors   Breastfeeding doesn't always come easily or naturally, and the right education can make a big difference.

This episode is all about the history of feeding babies which has been necessary and yet surprisingly difficult since the beginning of mankind. In fact, it's so necessary that to forgo it, up until very recently, the last hundred years or so, was a death sentence for the infant. We don't often think about feeding babies. It's something mothers take care of behind the scenes, part of the invisible load. We certainly don't pause to think about the history of it, the immense challenges faced throughout the ages. But we should. As necessary as infant feeding is, as necessary as it has always been, society still does not make it easy for mothers to pull off. And that should concern you, even if you aren't a mother, even if you aren't a baby. Because you were once, and so was I, and so was literally everyone.

Your health and your baby's health are top priorities. Some foods carry risks during pregnancy, and it's important to know what to avoid and how to make informed choices. It's easy to find long lists of foods you shouldn't eat, but cutting these items out of your diet can be challenging, especially if they're things you enjoy or eat regularly. Rather than simply telling you to avoid certain foods, this episode unpacks the reasons behind the recommendations so you can better understand the risks. You'll also hear about a few foods that don't typically appear on “do not eat” lists but may still be worth paying attention to. This episode will arm you with the knowledge you need to make confident decisions about what you are comfortable eating during pregnancy.     Thank you to our sponsors   Breastfeeding doesn't always come easily or naturally, and the right education can make a big difference.

Not just a brilliant clinician, but a graduate of both my Women's Integrative and Functional Medicine and Herbal Medicine for Women training programs… and now, a lifelong friend.Lisa is the passionate founder of Tongue Tie Experts. She's spent decades supporting parents through the intense, sacred, and often confusing path of breastfeeding—especially when things don't go as planned.Lisa's journey from hospital-based nurse and midwife to fierce advocate for women's rights and breastfeeding education is one you won't forget.
