Every pregnant person deserves the information and support they need to make truly informed decisions about labor induction. In this encore episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with Dr. Ann Peralta and Kari Radoff, CNM, the co-creators of Partner to Decide, a nonprofit improving decision-making in perinatal care. They discuss their free, multilingual decision aid that helps families understand their options around routine induction of labor and empowers them to advocate for their own values, preferences, and autonomy. Ann shares how her own birth experience, shaped by access to education and privilege, sparked the creation of the tool. Kari offers insight into how the decision aid has changed conversations in clinical settings, bringing clarity, reducing bias, and fostering truly shared decision-making. Together, they illuminate how access to balanced information can reduce anxiety, improve trust, and shift the culture of perinatal care.

Gina (perinatal fitness trainer and doula) and Roxanne (certified nurse midwife) break down what labor & delivery nurses do versus midwives, OBs, and some family medicine providers, including who typically handles low- vs high-risk care and which interventions midwives can't do. They explain why some people choose midwives versus OBs, and note midwives can provide full-spectrum women's health care. Roxanne outlines three midwife paths—CPM (apprenticeship plus education/exam; licensing varies by state), CM (non-nurse bachelor's plus grad midwifery; limited states), and CNM (nursing degree to grad midwifery, boards, state licensure, collaboration requirements). They discuss clinical hour/birth requirements, costs, licensing logistics, and how Roxanne used ROTC and the GI Bill to pay for school, then end with a top tip: attend births (even on YouTube) to see if the calling is real.00:00 Welcome and Episode Setup01:17 Feeling Called to Midwifery02:40 Nurse vs Midwife vs OB07:15 Choosing Midwife or OB13:06 Midwives Beyond Birth Care14:54 Three Midwife Types Overview15:47 CPM Path and Licensure17:57 Unlicensed CPM Tradeoffs22:13 Certified Midwife Route24:19 CNM Training and Nursing Paths29:06 Midwifery School Format and Clinicals33:16 Clinical Skills and Birth Requirements39:02 Clinical Volume Matters40:04 Choosing the Right Provider41:40 Certification Exam Reality45:20 State Licensure and Reciprocity48:46 Midwife Training Pathway50:48 Costs and Barriers52:52 Military Funding Options58:49 Paying for Grad School01:03:53 Labor and Delivery Nursing Route01:06:08 Best Tip Attend Births01:09:23 Wrap Up and Resources————Get Your Copy of Training for Two on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VOTdwH

In this episode of the Nursing Strategies for Success podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maria Jasanya MSN, RNC, CNM, CLC, CNE — a nurse midwife, nurse educator, adjunct professor, and freelance writer whose nursing journey started at 15 years old at Clara Barton High School in New York City. Maria's path is a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose, and this conversation did not disappoint.We unpacked one of the most underrated — and most dangerous — habits in nursing: not asking why.Maria shared how her curiosity as a new nurse — asking "why do we do it this way?" — sparked her entire nursing education journey and even led to her contributing to policy updates at her hospital. We got real about why nurses hesitate to ask why in the first place: fear of more work, survival mode, being dismissed by leadership, and a culture that still lives by the phrase "this is the way we've always done it." Spoiler alert — that phrase has no place in a profession built on evidence-based practice.We also got into some hard truths about the current state of nursing education. New grads are entering the workforce without foundational clinical skills, without a clear understanding of their scope of practice, and without anyone drilling into them that a nursing license is borrowed, not owned. The disconnect between academia and the bedside is real, and both Maria and I agree — it starts with collaboration, and it starts with asking why.From the bedside nurse questioning a medication order to the nurse leader challenging a broken system, the power of why runs through every level of this profession. It protects patients. It opens doors. And it forces the people running these healthcare businesses to be accountable too — because nurses shouldn't be the only ones asking the hard questions.Key takeaways from this episode:Asking why is a patient safety issue, a professional development tool, and a career accelerator — all at the same time"I'm just following doctor's orders" is not an acceptable mindset for a licensed nurseNew nurses need to be taught to ask why from day one — in the classroom, in clinicals, and at the bedsideHealthcare facilities and academic institutions need to be in active conversation — not just for clinical placements, but for curriculum alignmentIf you want better outcomes, better working conditions, and a better career — you have to ask why!Connect with Maria on LinkedInSupport the show

In this episode of the Tongue Tie Experts Podcast, Lisa Paladino, CNM, IBCLC shares a clinical thinking framework she has primarily taught inside her professional trainings - until now.One of the most common questions Lisa hears from professionals is not simply “How do I identify a tongue tie?” but something deeper:How do I think through these cases?How do I avoid missing something important?How do I support families without creating fear or confusion?The challenge is often not a lack of knowledge - it's the absence of a clear framework for clinical reasoning.In this episode, Lisa introduces the CAREFUL™ framework, a model developed from more than three decades of working with babies and families. This approach is designed to help professionals slow down, consider the full feeding picture, and provide thoughtful, family-centered care.Lisa also discusses:• Why feeding challenges cannot be understood through anatomy alone• The importance of caring for the parent–baby dyad• How structured clinical thinking improves confidence and decision-making• Why interdisciplinary collaboration is essential in tongue tie care• How a careful, measured approach builds trust with both families and colleaguesThis episode offers a look into the thinking process Lisa teaches in her professional education programs and reflects the philosophy behind Tongue Tie Experts.If this episode resonates with you, consider sharing it with a colleague. The more we strengthen how professionals approach these cases, the better outcomes we create for babies and families.More From Tongue Tie Experts:To learn more, download freebies, and for the links mentioned in the episode, including our popular course, Understanding Milk Supply for Medical and Birth Professionals, click here: www.tonguetieexperts.net/LinksUse code PODCAST15 for 15% off all of our offerings.This podcast is meant for education and conversation only.

“I have all these learned behaviors, and … was seeing them play out in my own family, with my own children, and thinking about the generational transference of hurt and wounds and wanting to do what I could to minimize that.” – Carrie Levine Certified nurse-midwife and functional medicine practitioner Carrie Levine has had a lifelong interest in deep exploration. She completed the Hoffman Process in 2024, having learned about patterns years earlier from reading Bob Hoffman’s book, No One Is to Blame. She truly understood Bob Hoffman’s realization that “No one is to blame.” Self-described as weird when young, Carrie explored a variety of unusual passions as a teen, including challenging activities in nature. In early adulthood, Carrie led women through outdoor experiential educational adventures, guiding them to become skilled and empowered in a variety of settings. Later, as she embarked on a new career in medicine, Carrie drew parallels between supporting women in nature and supporting them in the labor room. She found the skills and presence she’d gained earlier also empowered women during childbirth. Sharing her journey, Carrie highlights how she came to learn about herself. She is clear that she must be aligned with her Spiritual Self and reflects on how she doesn’t do well when she isn’t aligned. She now counsels her patients that optimal health can only come when we are aligned with our core self. Carrie refers many women to the Hoffman Process. She sees that women, especially parents, need to step away from their everyday lives to do deep healing work. Her experience now helps others realize the importance of aligning mind, body, and spirit for optimal wellness. Content Warning: This episode mentions the death of a child and suicide.

What happens when a tongue tie is released - but feeding doesn't improve?In this episode, Lisa Paladino, CNM, IBCLC, explores an important clinical truth: a frenotomy releases tissue, but it does not teach a baby how to feed.Inspired by an actual professional discussion across disciplines, this conversation highlights why feeding is functional, not just structural, and why preparation, assessment, and follow-up matter just as much as the procedure itself.Lisa discusses:The difference between anatomy and functionWhy some families feel discouraged after a releaseThe importance of interdisciplinary careWhat true informed consent should includeHow coordinated support protects the parent–baby relationshipThis episode isn't about whether releases are right or wrong. It's about improving the process around them, and delivering better care for babies and families.If this resonates with you, share it with a colleague in another discipline.

Janet Walsh-Adams is a neurodivergent PhD candidate at Deakin University, researching a pattern that many autistic people have noticed for years: autistic adults may be more likely to pursue consensual non-monogamy (CNM). We talk about what CNM is (and what it isn't) and how stigma — not the relationship style itself — often creates the biggest risks.Janet shares personal context alongside early findings from her work, including how autism, ADHD, gender diversity, and LGBTQIA+ identity can overlap with relationship structures like CNM, polyamory, kink/BDSM, and relationship anarchy. We also dig into what clinicians still need to learn (and unlearn) about autistic intimacy, and what Janet hopes her research will change — especially when it comes to safety and autonomy.Topics explored include:What consensual non-monogamy actually means (polyamory, monogamish, swinging, and more)Why autistic people are so often miscast as uninterested in intimacy and where myths like these come fromAutism + ADHD overlap, AuDHD, sensation seeking, and moreGender diversity and LGBTQIA+ culture as key factors in relationship stylesWhich group reports higher infidelity — autistics or neurotypicals?Why breakups in non-monogamous relationships aren't "proof they don't work"Watch this episode on YouTube.Follow Janet on LinkedIn.If you'd like to know more about topics discussed in this episode, check out:"Sexuality, Gender, and Autism" by K.

A healing birth can change the way you understand everything that came before it. In this episode, Dr. Dekker talks with EBB Childbirth Class graduate Michaela Raines about experiencing a deeply healing birth after a first birth that didn't go as planned. Michaela shares her first hospital birth story—including unexpected interventions, a long pushing phase, perineal trauma, and a NICU stay—and how those experiences shaped her postpartum recovery. She then walks us through how education, intentional preparation, and support helped her approach her second pregnancy differently, leading to a fast, unmedicated water birth at a freestanding birth center. Michaela also reflects on how this birth felt both physically and emotionally redemptive and what she would share with parents preparing for a subsequent birth after a challenging experience.

In this episode, Lisa Paladino, CNM, IBCLC, explores the complex, and often controversial, challenges that lactation consultants face when assessing and managing tongue tie in infants. From inconsistent training and ambiguous assessments to provider disagreements and family pressures, Lisa breaks down the barriers to effective care and offers actionable strategies to overcome them.Key Topics Covered:Inconsistent Training & Guidelines: Education on tongue tie varies widely, leaving many professionals with limited or conflicting knowledge. Lisa stresses the need for specialized, evidence-based continuing education and peer collaboration to build confidence and competence.Challenges in Assessment: Accurate diagnosis requires more than a visual check - functional assessment is key. Lisa highlights the importance of understanding oral mechanics and using supportive and proven assessment tools.Interprofessional Disagreements: Differing views among health care providers can confuse families and complicate care. Lisa advocates for respectful, evidence-informed communication and building a trusted referral network.Parental Pressure for Immediate Answers: Families often seek quick fixes amidst feeding struggles. Lisa emphasizes the value of compassionate education, managing expectations, and offering follow-up support.Limited Access to Qualified Providers: A shortage of experienced tongue tie professionals can hinder timely treatment. Lisa encourages exploring virtual consults, maintaining referral lists, and advocating for increased local training.Takeaway:Navigating tongue tie assessment and treatment is both controversial and challenging—but with the right tools, education, and collaboration, lactation consultants can support families more effectively and confidently.Resources & Links Mentioned:

As 2025 comes to an end, guest host Dr. Sara Ailshire turns the tables and interviews Dr. Rebecca Dekker about the biggest childbirth trends, lessons, and breakthroughs of 2025, and what exciting changes are coming to EBB in 2026.   Together, Sara and Rebecca dive into the shifting landscape of birth: the unprecedented rise in labor inductions, how AI is complicating the search for evidence-based information, changes in doula access and Medicaid coverage, and how politics continues to shape pregnancy and postpartum care.

Episode Summary: This episode is powered by The 7 Figure Shift Workshop “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown Can we be honest?! There is an often-overlooked link between hormone balance and a woman's ability to lead, speak and be seen at scale. And because it's been overlooked, we are definitely not taking it into consideration as women leveraging & scaling business empires.  That stops TODAY. If you're scaling to seven figures while secretly ignoring the signs your body is whispering (or screaming), this episode is your wake-up call. Legacy-led leadership doesn't come from burnout; it's built from balance. In this intimate and disruptive conversation, Dr. Darnyelle sits down with Maraya Brown—Yale-trained CNM, women's health expert, and powerhouse CEO—to unpack the truth about what it really takes to sustain your brilliance without sacrificing your body. We're talking hormones, perimenopause, adrenal fatigue, libido, nervous system regulation, and the untold cost of hustling while hormonally depleted. You'll finally understand how your body, brain, and bank account are inextricably linked—and why optimizing your internal ecosystem is your next million-dollar move. Whether you're in the boardroom, the bedroom, or the bleeding edge of burnout, this is the episode that will change the way you do business—because if your health is on the back burner, so is your impact. This is your invitation to ditch the myth that scaling a business means sacrificing your body. If you've been running on caffeine, willpower, and survival mode, it's time to reclaim the vitality that fuels true overflow. Hit play to discover why the real ROI comes when your hormones, heart, and hustle are finally aligned. Here's the truth: A dysregulated nervous system, depleted hormones, and unresolved trauma will cap your capacity faster than any business bottleneck. Most seven-figure CEOs aren't underperforming—they're over-extended and under-resourced internally. Your strategy isn't broken—your system is screaming. Real overflow starts in your body. You'll walk away with a powerful framework to reconnect with your physical body as a portal to profit, new language for understanding what your burnout and libido are really trying to tell you and a reset button for how you show up in your business and your relationships. Get your Move to Millions Podcast notebook ready—you'll want to take notes on the lessons packed into this incredible conversation!  Listen in to discover: ✔ How to identify hormonal imbalances that are silently sabotaging your business success ✔ Why regulating your nervous system is the ultimate secret to scaling with sustainability ✔ 3 non-negotiables every 7-figure woman must prioritize to access overflow, pleasure, and profit ✔ And so much more This episode is a call to stop gaslighting your own body in the name of ambition. It's time to shift the paradigm: from success that depletes to success that sustains. In a market that glorifies hustle and downplays healing, this episode challenges the high-achieving woman to get radically honest about what she's carrying—physically, emotionally, and hormonally—and how it's affecting her ability to lead, love, and live fully. Maraya Brown delivers insights that will shift your physiology and your profitability. Powerful Quotes from The Episode: “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown “Your body doesn't lie—but you've learned to ignore her.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “We cannot grow sustainably in our business if we're silently eroding in our body.” – Maraya Brown “Overflow is not just about money; it's about hormones, health, and harmony.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Most women think their exhaustion is normal; but it's not your normal, it's your nervous system in distress.” – Maraya Brown Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where in my life am I pretending I feel fine when I'm actually depleted? What story am I telling myself about needing to “push through” that no longer serves me? How might honoring my body create more income than any launch or sales strategy? When was the last time I felt deep, sustainable energy and vitality? What would radically honest self-care actually look like in this season?

How do you make a non-monogamous relationship work? In today’s show, we're diving into a brand-new study that set out to map the most common and effective relationship practices for consensually non-monogamous (CNM) people. We're going to discuss the key strategies that help people maintain multiple partners with intention, stability, and harmony. I am joined once again by Dr. Justin Mogilski, an associate professor of psychology at the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie, where he teaches courses on human sexuality, the psychology of marriage, and evolutionary psychology. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What is the Multiple Relationships Maintenance Scale, and what can it tell us about how CNM relationships work? How do people in CNM relationships navigate things like jealousy, resource distribution, and hierarchy? What are people in the most successful CNM relationships doing? What can monogamous couples learn from how CNM people structure their relationships? You can click this link to read the full study discussed in this episode. Got a sex question?

From switching hospitals late in pregnancy to finding strength through challenges, their story exemplifies flexibility, informed choice, and the power of doula support.   (05:55) Tara's updates from Atlanta and her path to becoming an IBCLC (09:17) Erica's lightbulb moments from the EBB Childbirth Class (11:22) Switching hospitals at 35 weeks and advocating for the right fit (16:18) Labor begins: prodromal labor, GBS, and waiting for spontaneous birth (24:30) Hospital admission, challenges with staff, and early interventions (32:17) The Pitocin battle and advocating for movement and monitoring choices (35:40) Finding a supportive nurse and regaining freedom during labor (39:53) Tara's night shift: rest, affirmations, and encouragement (44:20) Deciding on the epidural and reframing "failure" as flexibility (49:18) The final stage: rest, relief, and meeting baby (55:12) Postpartum recovery and breastfeeding challenges (01:00:25) Tara's advice for navigating long labors (01:02:43) Erica's reflections on flexibility, intuition, and informed choice   Resources Get in touch with Tara: tarasbirthservices.com | @taras.birthservices Connect with Tara's teammate, Brittany: @wellpreparednest Listen to EBB 146 - How Doula and EBB Instructor Tara Thompson Supports Families in Atlanta Listen to EBB 357 – Making Decisions about Elective Induction of Labor with Dr. Ann Peralta & Kari Radoff, CNM, from Partner to Decide The Evidence on: GBS (Group B Strep): evidencebasedbirth.com/groupbstrep/ The Evidence on: Pitocin During the Third Stage of Labor: evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-on-pitocin-during-the-third-stage-of-labor/ Epidural during Labor for Pain Management: evidencebasedbirth.com/epidural-during-labor-pain-management/ Learn more about the Evidence Based Birth Childbirth Class: evidencebasedbirth.com/childbirthclass   For more information about Evidence Based Birth® and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

Consensual non-monogamy (CNM) is something everyone seems to have an opinion on, but many people’s views are decidedly negative. For example, people often say things like “open relationships never work,” and “how is that any different than cheating?” In today's show, we're going to dive into common CNM myths and misconceptions and separate fact from fiction. My guest is Dr. Justin Mogilski, an associate professor of psychology at the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie, where he teaches courses on human sexuality, the psychology of marriage, and evolutionary psychology. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What the difference between CNM and infidelity? How is cheating within a CNM relationship similar to or different from cheating in a monogamous relationship? What are some of the logistical and emotional challenges in CNM relationships? What are some of the key components to a successful CNM relationship? How is CNM related to sexual health and safer-sex practices?

Welcome to today's episode with host Sadie and a medical panel of three Hoffman Process graduates who are also esteemed medical practitioners. Our host, Sadie, Carrie Levine, Dr. David Hanscom, and Dr. Kash Trivedi engage in this powerful conversation. They cover the connection between emotional health and physical health, the mind-body connection, finding the safety within needed to heal, and so much more. With her background as a licensed Nurse Practitioner, Sadie guides the panel with insightful questions. Our guests answer through their embodied learning from both the Process and their many years of medical practice. They share insights on what it means to practice medicine with awareness, compassion, and the knowledge that can help guide their patients to deeper healing. As the conversation goes deeper into the idea of healing needing a sense of safety, Sadie then asks the panel if we each can "take responsibility for our inner experience of safety?" Carrie responds, saying, "I think we have to. I don't know that anybody else can do that for us. ... I think it's on us." We hope you enjoy this conversation with Carrie, Davide, Kash, and Sadie.

SHOW NOTES: Are you afraid to ask questions about health, birth, or medicine because you don't want to sound “anti-science”? God never asked us to follow blindly—He asked us to seek wisdom. In this Christian wellness podcast, If Mama Ain't Healthy (Ain't Nobody Healthy), Lori Morris, CNM, helps you bridge faith and science with biblical discernment so you can stand firm in truth. God never asked us to follow blindly. He asked us to seek wisdom. Proverbs tells us, “The discerning heart seeks knowledge.” In this episode, Lori explores why asking questions about health, birth, or medicine isn't rebellion—it's obedience. Real science invites questions. Real faith requires them. Journey back to 2020 and unpack how fear and confusion reshaped our trust in “science.” Learn how to discern truth through God's Word, filter information wisely, and stand firm in faith even when the world calls you “anti-science.” You'll discover: ✨ The difference between science and scientism
