    Retinol is a vitamin A compound and one of the most effective ingredients in skincare. But with powerful results come potential side effects, especially during pregnancy. In this episode, we dive into the science behind retinoids, how they work, and why some forms may be risky if you are expecting. We break down the differences between oral and topical vitamin A compounds, review what the research and medical guidelines say, and explore how to weigh the benefits and risks for your skin and your baby. Plus, we cover safe and effective alternatives for both acne and anti-aging, and how to talk to your doctor or midwife about your skincare routine.     Thank you to our sponsor   Zahler goes above and beyond to use high-quality bioavailable ingredients like the active form of folate, bioavailable iron, and omega 3s.

    Send us a textWelcome to the July Q&A! Today, we kick off the show with a conversation about your experiences of unnecessary, frequent stressors that we have the power to change or eliminate: For Trisha, it's taking phone calls while grocery shopping. Next, we get into your questions, beginning with:Did taking folic acid in pregnancy cause my baby's tongue tie?Is having the cord wrapped three times around a baby's neck a legitimate reason for c-section?Is it true that I can't have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) if it has been just 18 months since my last birth?And in the extended version of today's episode, available on Patreon or Apple Subscriptions, we discuss:Intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) babies and whether induction of labor is the right choice. Also, whether or not a baby needs to be born by cesarean for too low or too high heart rates in labor. And finally, whether fundal massage is still needed even if you a woman is administered  Pitocin in the third stage of labor. As for Quickies, we covered many topics including: Post-breastfeeding bras, OP (posterior) babies, magnesium and pre-eclampsia, fetal ejection reflex with an epidural, supporting the perineum to prevent tearing, our top tip for a successful VBAC. As for the personal questions of the month, we share our favorite ice cream flavors as well as our favorite flowers.

    Grief isn't just for death and divorce, but can and is often woven into the everyday tapestry of our lives. It can be quiet, sneaky, and many times overlooked. In this solo episode, I'm talking about the grief we don't always see: the loss of old dreams, former versions of ourselves, identities, even ambition. And how if we don't acknowledge it, it finds a way to show up. Whether you've been triggered by someone on Instagram or you're navigating life after a major loss, my hope is that this episode will meet you where you are, with curiosity, compassion, and the reminder that our healing starts when we're willing to name what we've lost. What you'll hear about in this episode: Why grief is more than just sadness and how it can manifest as anger, disconnection, or “What's wrong with me?” How to recognize the invisible griefs in your life, from motherhood shifts to identity changes The power of curiosity to disrupt autopilot thinking and uncover deeper truths What a triggered Instagram spiral taught me about grieving old versions of myself How grief is especially necessary right now in our collective moment and why we need to make space for it Journaling questions from this episode: How did this topic of grief land for you? What if you could let yourself name what you lost? Where might grief be quietly shaping your decisions or energy? Is it speaking for your inner critic?

For the 219th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Margo Steines, author of ⁠Brutalities: A Love Story⁠. In this interview, we discuss Margo's experience as a dominatrix, sex work then vs. now, the toxic societal pressures on women's bodies in the 90s and how that resulted in eating disorders for both of us, her stint as a high-rise welder, advice she would give her former self about an abusive relationship, what it was like to be pregnant during the pandemic, how she feels about motherhood, and more. Here's the description of ⁠Brutalities⁠: Quarantined in a southwestern desert city in the midst of her high-risk pregnancy, Margo Steines felt her life narrow around her growing body, compelling her to reckon with the violence entangled in its history. She was a professional dominatrix in New York City, a homestead farmer in a brutal relationship, a welder on a high-rise building crew, and a mixed martial arts enthusiast; each of her many lives brought a new perspective on how power and masculinity coalesce―and how far she could push her body toward the brink. With unflinching candor, Steines searches for the roots of her erstwhile attraction to pain while charting the complicated triumph of gentleness and love.

    What if the hardest part of infertility wasn't just the treatments… but the fact that no one even knew how hard you tried? In this episode of The "So Now What?" Podcast, we're talking about an overlooked reality: what it feels like to go through years of IVF and fertility treatments and never even get a positive pregnancy test. No bump. No loss others can see. Just you, quietly rearranging your life around the hope of motherhood… with nothing to show for it when it didn't work. This is for you if you're childless after infertility and have felt the sting of being dismissed, forgotten, or misunderstood because your story doesn't come with "visible" grief. Here's what we cover: Why IVF without pregnancy leaves a haunting silence around your story The reality of disenfranchised grief when you're infertile and childless Why comparing your pain to others doesn't bring healing, it brings shame The myth that you have to love your story in order to find peace How to stop minimizing your experience and start creating a future you feel proud of What it looks like to reclaim your voice and move forward without motherhood You don't have to keep shrinking your grief or hiding your truth just to make others comfortable. This episode reminds you that you were in it. And that's enough to matter. If you've ever wondered whether your story counts because you never got pregnant—this episode is your reminder: You don't need proof to be seen. You don't need a baby to validate your grief. You were there. You gave everything. And that matters. ✨ Mentioned in this episode:

    In this episode, I share the remarkable birth journey of Kelsey, a mother of three from Wisconsin, USA, who moved from fear and medical trauma to deep empowerment with a healing home birth after two caesareans (HBA2C).Baby #1 saw Kelsey induced at 37 weeks for suspected pre-eclampsia. Her regular doctor was away, and with a male provider stepping in, she felt overwhelmed and anxious. Not realising she had the right to say no, she was swept into a domino effect of interventions that led to her first C-section. At her six-week check-up, she was told her pelvis was “too small” and that vaginal birth would never be an option.Baby #2 was a different experience—Kelsey worked with midwives in a hospital who respected her choices and supported her VBAC plan. She declined most testing and felt truly seen. After four days of prodromal labour and 35 hours in total (with four of those hours pushing), she was emotionally and physically spent and opted for a second caesarean. Despite the outcome, the birth was peaceful and affirming. She watched her son being born, held him immediately in the operating room, and was encouraged by her doctor to try for a VBAC again in the future.Baby #3 was a surprise, and initially, Kelsey assumed she'd opt for another caesarean. But the years between babies were filled with education and empowerment. She met inspiring women, learned more about birth physiology, and found support from a community who believed in her. She hired a trusted doula and connected with a midwife willing to support her HBA2C at home.Throughout her pregnancy, Kelsey focused on calming her nervous system and nurturing her body with consistent body work—chiropractic care, regular massages, and acupuncture. She immersed herself in birth education, including Real Food for Pregnancy by Lily Nichols and Dr Berg's YouTube channel for wellness tips.When labour began at 39 weeks and 4 days, she laboured instinctively at home. Within 4.5 hours, Kelsey gave birth on her bedroom floor, with her eldest son watching his sister's head crown. Her daughter was born into peace—wide-eyed and calm. The moment was surreal. She had done it. Kelsey had birthed on her own terms.Being at home was the game-changer. She finally experienced birth in the way her body was designed for—supported, and sacred.Enjoy this podcast episode! More from Ashley:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The VBAC Village⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ashleylwinning⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ashleywinning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ VBAC Homebirth Support ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Group here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Love the podcast? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ coffeeDisclaimer: The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only.

    In this episode of Your Cup of Joy, I'm joined by the incredible Abby McKenzie: lactation consultant, doula, childbirth educator, and sleep specialist. Abby was one of my own supporters during my postpartum journey, and I couldn't be more thrilled to bring her wisdom to this space. Together, we dive into the messy, beautiful, and often misunderstood world of breastfeeding, from the unseen layers of postpartum support to the emotional load that comes with it all.Abby shares how her early work as a lactation consultant revealed the deep need for holistic care, that breastfeeding isn't just about latch and supply, but about mental health, sleep, support systems, and personal values. We talk about what no one tells you about extended feeding, how breast milk adapts to your baby's changing needs, and why listening to your intuition matters more than any online advice or cultural expectation. She also opens up about her own recent experience becoming a mom, and how it's transformed the way she supports other mothers through simplifying plans, embracing rest, and trusting that growth (in babies and in life) is never linear.This conversation is for every mama who's ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice, doubted her decisions, or just needed to be reminded that she is doing enough. Abby's grounded, compassionate insights and belief in mother-led care will leave you feeling empowered and affirmed in your journey.If this episode spoke to you, I'd be so grateful if you shared it with another mom or mama-to-be in your life. And remember: your intuition is powerful, your experience is valid, and you were never meant to do this alone.

We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health. Additionally, we discuss how biology relates to gender identity and the impact of hormone therapies on brain circuits that regulate mating, parenting and social bonding.

    In this harrowing and unflinchingly honest episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we are joined by Victoria from Texas, whose journey through a molar pregnancy, emergency D&Cs, and chemotherapy will leave you stunned, heartbroken, and ultimately inspired. What began as a joyful pregnancy quickly spiraled into a medical nightmare involving a rare gestational trophoblastic disease, repeated molar tissue regrowth, life-threatening hemorrhage, and chemo-induced menopause. With her husband stationed miles away and parenting her son alone, Victoria endured procedures, isolation, and unimaginable emotional pain—culminating in a powerful moment where she almost gave up. But she didn't. Instead, she fought to reclaim her life, found strength in community, and turned her trauma into a mission to raise awareness about molar pregnancies and support others going through the same. This is a must-listen for anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss, cancer treatment, postpartum depression, or felt utterly alone in their pain. The early symptoms of a molar pregnancy and how it's often misdiagnosed. What it's like to be told you're pregnant with a tumor. The reality of going through chemotherapy after a pregnancy complication. How hormone crashes and chemo-induced menopause affect mental health. The life-saving importance of therapy, support groups, and honest conversations. Why community storytelling matters in reproductive healthcare.

    In this deeply moving and transformative episode, fertility mindset coach and holistic therapist Laetitia Felix shares her raw, four-year journey through unexplained infertility, three ectopic pregnancies, and a chemical pregnancy before becoming a mother at 40. After being told to remove her left fallopian tube following her third ectopic pregnancy, Laetitia trusted her intuition, declined the surgery, and went on to conceive her daughter naturally through that same tube just one year later. Her story is a powerful testament to the importance of honoring your inner wisdom, processing grief, and taking a holistic approach to fertility.

    In this Q+A episode, we're breaking down the real answers to the questions so many women are Googling at 2 a.m. (and not getting straight answers on). We're covering everything from gestational diabetes to HRV, postpartum recovery, and how your menstrual cycle actually affects your workouts. Here's the truth: you don't need fear-based advice, shame-loaded commentary, or influencers selling you false promises. You need real science, practical guidance, and coaches who understand your lived experience. We dive into: Why gestational diabetes is hormonal, not your fault — and how nutrition plays a powerful role in managing it How to interpret your heart rate variability and what it actually means for stress, recovery, and performance The power of incline walking for cardio (spoiler: it counts more than you think) Why glute training isn't just for the #bootyband crowd — it's critical for posture, strength, and long-term function Electrolytes, hydration, and how to fuel pre & post workout (especially during pregnancy or postpartum) How your menstrual cycle shifts your training capacity — and how to stop forcing it when your body says no The truth about postpartum recovery: why gradual progression beats rushing back into your old routine And more unfiltered insights about building a strong body through every phase of womanhood Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, deep in your training journey, or just trying to navigate all the changes that come with womanhood — this episode is packed with grounded advice that meets you where you are. Because your health journey isn't linear — and it definitely isn't one-size-fits-all.
