TBT:   Tracy from Rocket City Doulas shatters common misconceptions about birth support professionals with her refreshingly honest perspective. "A doula is like a wedding planner, but for birth," she explains, drawing a perfect analogy for those unfamiliar with the role. Far from being exclusive to unmedicated or home births, doulas primarily focus on emotional wellness while medical providers handle physical concerns – creating a complementary approach to comprehensive birth support.Drawing from her personal experience with a traumatic cesarean birth, Tracy shares how feeling voiceless during her delivery shaped her mission to ensure no birthing person feels similarly powerless. The trauma wasn't about the delivery method, but rather the emotions surrounding it and how communication broke down. This profound experience fuels her dedication to filling critical gaps in the birth support system, acting as a translator between medical staff and families, and helping clients understand their options without judgment.What makes Rocket City Doulas distinct is their commitment to supporting all birth choices equally. With 90% of their births taking place in hospitals and 60% of clients planning epidurals, they've positioned themselves as mainstream doulas who serve families across a spectrum of birth preferences. Their team approach pairs two doulas with each client, ensuring continuous on-call support from contract signing through postpartum recovery. Beyond labor, their postpartum services include overnight baby care, breastfeeding assistance, and crucial emotional support for new parents navigating sleep deprivation and identity shifts.Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, scheduled cesarean, or anything in between, connecting with Tracy's team provides access to evidence-based information, emotional guidance, and physical support tailored to your unique needs.

Rocket City Lift for Kids! A Christmas Message from Pastor Tara by

Rocket City Lift for Kids! Wednesday, December 18th by

Rev. Dr. Tara Bulger discusses how Jesus healed his disciple's family member, and how we can go and serve others.

Rev. Dr. Tara Bulger gives advice on how to come to God with all of our questions, feelings, thoughts, and emotions.

Hank Alewine is the accountant boldly going where no CPA has gone before! A professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Hank isn't just teaching spreadsheets and balance sheets—he's pioneering space accounting (yes, that's a thing). In this episode, Hank chats about his career journey, from studying biology to becoming a CPA, and eventually inventing a course that tackles the financial frontier of the space economy. Hank explores fascinating topics like how future Martian colonies might handle taxes (spoiler: someone will definitely try to tax space transactions) and why lag times between Earth and Mars could make audits a real headache. He also explains how accountants are the ultimate storytellers, translating numbers into tales that help businesses—and even space agencies—thrive. If you've ever wondered how space exploration gets funded—or just want to geek out about Star Trek and space taxes—this episode is for you. Hank's unique perspective will leave you laughing, thinking, and maybe even reconsidering accounting as the coolest job in the universe.     About Hank Alewine Hank Alewine is a professor with a passion for numbers and NASA. Based in Huntsville, Alabama (aka Rocket City), Hank teaches managerial accounting and is breaking new ground with his space accounting course. He also organizes the Business of Space Conference, where academia and the space industry collide in the best way possible. When he's not teaching or exploring the cosmos through his research, Hank is busy chasing chickens and hanging out with his opinionated donkey Josephine on his family's hobby farm.   Hank and Beth mentioned Hank's appearance on The Space Show with host Dr. David M. Livingston.  Here is the link to that episode: https://www.thespaceshow.com/show/01-dec-2023/broadcast-4121-dr.-hank-alewine Want to learn more about Hank's work or the upcoming Business of Space Conference (February 23 - 25, 2025)?

Alabama is unique for its rich history, diverse geography, and significant contributions to both the Civil Rights Movement and space exploration. Known as the "Heart of Dixie," it boasts landscapes from mountains and forests to Gulf Coast beaches. Key civil rights events in Montgomery and Selma helped shape American history. Additionally, Huntsville's role in developing the U.S. space program earned it the nickname "The Rocket City." These elements combine to make Alabama a state with a distinctive and influential heritage. On November 30, 1954, Ann Hodges from Sylacauga, Alabama, became the only known person to be struck by a meteorite and survive. While napping on her couch, a meteorite crashed through her roof, bounced off a radio, and hit her, leaving a large bruise. The incident attracted worldwide attention, and after a legal battle, the meteorite was returned to Hodges, who later donated it to the Alabama Museum of Natural History. The event brought significant stress to her life, but it remains a unique and fascinating chapter in both her personal story and meteorite history. https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/geography/states/article/alabama https://kids.britannica.com/kids/article/Alabama/345451 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/130220-russia-meteorite-ann-hodges-science-space-hit --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themysterykidspodcast/message

My special guest tonight is author Dawn Crouch here to discuss her book called  Dead Children't Playground: Based on a Rocket City Urban Legend. We also discuss paranormal phenomena including her really creepy experiences near grave yards in New Orleans.  Arik's future is perfectly planned… only he didn't plan it.  A first-year in medical school, he follows in his father's footsteps, but photography is Arik's true passion, and he loves exploring the caves near his home on Monte Sano in Rocket City. The news of a serial killer who dumps his victims' bodies in Drost Park disturbs Arik, but appears unreal, remote.  Until he joins the search for a neighbor's missing child.  From the moment Arik enters the familiar caverns, everything changes. Lost in the cave, he follows a receding figure - a young girl holding a lantern who leads him to the playground where he discovers the unthinkable.  Thrust into an active criminal investigation, can Arik find the killer before the killer finds him?  Based on a Huntsville, AL urban legend, a child abductor abandons his victim's bodies in a park that becomes known as…Dead Children's Playground.
