Labor Live is your chance to practice navigating labor before you're actually in it. This interactive birth simulation delivers real-life labor scenarios straight to your phone, letting you make decisions, explore your options, and learn what questions to ask your provider along the way. Labor Live starts September 1. Head to https://joinlaborlive.com/ to save your spot! Low amniotic fluid can be one of those pregnancy diagnoses that sends you straight into a Google rabbit hole. So in this episode, HeHe sits down with board-certified OBGYN Dr. Lawren Honken to break down oligohydramnios, what it actually means, how it's diagnosed, and when low fluid may or may not mean it's time to induce. Dr. Lawren explains how providers measure amniotic fluid, including the difference between the single deepest pocket and AFI, and why one measurement may give us a more useful picture than the other. They also dig into what can contribute to low fluid, from dehydration and placental function to hypertension, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, ruptured membranes, and other pregnancy complications. And then we get into the big question: Does low amniotic fluid automatically mean you need an induction? Spoiler: it's more nuanced than that. HeHe and Dr. Lawren talk through hydration and repeat ultrasounds, fetal monitoring, the risks associated with truly low fluid, ACOG guidance for isolated oligohydramnios, and what happens when you're trying to decide whether to continue the pregnancy or move toward delivery. They also have a really important conversation about informed consent, trauma-informed care, provider communication, and why a diagnosis shouldn't automatically mean you're rushed into a decision without understanding your options. Because sometimes the most empowering thing your provider can give you isn't another intervention. It's information, context, and the space to make an informed decision about your own body and baby. If you've been told you have low amniotic fluid, you're being monitored for oligohydramnios, or you're trying to understand when an induction is actually medically indicated, this is one you want in your back pocket.

Ready to prepare for labor like nobody has before? Head to https://www.thebirthlounge.com/laborlive  "How will I know if I'm in labor?" If you've asked yourself this question fifty times already, you're not alone, and I promise it's not because you're missing something obvious. There's no single "poof" moment. No one clear sign that says this is it. Losing your mucus plug, bloody show, even being 3–4 cm dilated can all happen days before active labor actually starts. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually happening in early labor and why it feels so confusing. I'll share my own story of sitting at dinner with intense contractions that just... stopped once I rested. (Yes, that happens. No, it doesn't mean anything's wrong.) I'm walking you through how to tell Braxton Hicks from true labor contractions, not just by how they feel, but by their pattern, their predictability, and where you feel them in your body. We'll talk about how hydration, rest, and magnesium can actually help calm things down when it's not time yet. And I'll help you reframe early labor as something you get to live through with a plan, instead of something you're anxiously waiting to survive. I'll also cover when it's actually time to call your provider, and introduce Labor Live, starting September 1, an interactive birth simulation built to help you practice real-time labor decisions before you're actually making them. Because the goal isn't to memorize every possible symptom. It's to know your body well enough to trust yourself when the moment comes. 00:00 False Alarm Contractions 01:00 Why Labor Feels Confusing 02:17 No Single Labor Sign 02:43 Mucus Plug and Bloody Show 03:43 Braxton Hicks vs Labor 05:52 How Contractions Feel Different 07:30 Dilation Isn't Labor 08:54 Waters Breaking Matters 10:00 Early Labor Game Plan 11:57 Symptom Stack and When to Call 13:29 You'll Feel the Shift 14:07 Labor Live Simulation 17:07 Wrap Up and Key Patterns 18:29 Final Thanks and Subscribe SOCIAL MEDIA: Connect with HeHe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tranquilitybyhehe/  BIRTH EDUCATION: Learn how to stay in control of your birth and reduce the risk of unnecessary interventions in our Avoid a C-Section Webinar.

I'm taking you behind the scenes of how my book, "Sticky Habits," came to life. It's a journey that almost didn't happen, rooted in my personal struggle with perfectionism and the need for habits that align with who we truly are. I learned that traditional habit-formation methods often ignore the unique challenges women face, particularly with invisible labor and mental load. This realization pushed me to create a method that genuinely helps women reclaim their happiness through sustainable habits. Turning this vision into reality was a rollercoaster of courses, coaching, and eventually, a book. I was on the brink of self-publishing when a publisher's unexpected interest led me to rethink everything. Securing an agent and navigating contract negotiations were challenging, but essential. If my journey resonates with you, I invite you to be part of it by pre-ordering the book. Let's transform women's habit creation to impact their lives meaningfully.

On the Money Meets Medicine podcast, Dr. Jimmy Turner and Justin Harvey discuss how common personal finance advice can be especially costly for physicians and outline six “bad advice” items. They warn that disability insurance company choice matters because applying with the wrong carrier can trigger denials that eliminate access to guaranteed standard issue policies; they also caution against waiting until late in training. They argue that saving 10–15% or just maxing a 401(k) is usually insufficient for doctors with delayed earnings and debt, suggesting higher savings rates based on retirement goals. They note student loan consolidation advice has changed under the One Big Beautiful Build Act and may limit repayment plan eligibility. They criticize “pay off all debt before investing,” explain why renting isn't necessarily “throwing money away,” and argue that asking if an advisor is a fiduciary is no longer reliable, favoring fee-only transparency.

Free Class: How to Avoid an Unnecessarean  HeHe is bringing back an updated version of her most-requested birth class with a fresh update of her best strategies for reducing your risk of an unnecessary C-section, plus how to confidently navigate interventions and decisions in the hospital. Join her live August 19 at 1:30 PM ET at thebirthlounge.com/freecall. In this solo episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe breaks down one of the most frustrating labels you can hear in labor: “failure to progress.” Because taking longer than expected does NOT automatically mean your labor is failing. HeHe walks through what ACOG actually considers an active-phase arrest, including the 6 cm threshold, ruptured membranes, and how much time without cervical change is actually needed before calling labor stalled. She also breaks down why the clock can become your biggest enemy in the hospital and how slow labor progress can sometimes turn into an unnecessary C-section simply because everyone gets impatient. You'll learn practical ways to support your body and your baby's positioning, from staying upright and changing positions to resting, eating, drinking, and laboring at home longer when it's safe to do so. HeHe also talks about amniotomy, why breaking your water isn't always the harmless "next step," and why feeling safe and supported can make a HUGE difference in how your labor unfolds. Most importantly, this episode is about knowing when you actually need intervention and when you simply need more time. HeHe shares how to look at your provider's and hospital's C-section rates, ask better questions, and choose a care team that understands that every labor is different. 01:23 Welcome & Free Class Announcement 04:26 What Is Failure to Progress? 07:39 Understanding ACOG Guidelines 09:27 Physical Tips to Avoid Failure to Progress 17:53 Rest & Nourishment During Labor 20:04 The Risks of Amniotomy 26:26 Feeling Safe in Your Birth Environment 28:23 Finding the Right Provider & C-Section Rates 34:46 Final Thoughts & Outro SOCIAL MEDIA: Connect with HeHe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tranquilitybyhehe/    BIRTH EDUCATION: Learn how to stay in control of your birth and reduce the risk of unnecessary interventions in our Avoid a C-Section Webinar.

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with veteran midwife, doula trainer, and author Shafia Monroe, aka Mama Shafia, to talk about something we don't talk about nearly enough: who is taking care of the mother after she has the baby? After a decade of supporting more than 2,000 families, HeHe knows firsthand that birth doesn't end when the baby arrives. And Mama Shafia has spent decades studying and practicing the kind of community-based midwifery and postpartum care that treats the mother like someone who needs to be cared for, too. Together, they unpack what traditional postpartum support has looked like across cultures, from rest and warmth to keeping baby close, nourishing the mother, and surrounding her with a whole village of support. Mama Shafia shares her journey into midwifery, the lessons she learned from birth workers across the world, and what other countries can teach us about caring for mothers and babies. They also get real about the ways the U.S. maternal healthcare system has made that kind of care harder to access, including hospital closures, limited midwifery access, lack of paid maternity leave, legal barriers, and the loss of important birth skills. And then we get into the postpartum piece that HeHe is especially passionate about: why are we expecting a brand-new mom to take care of everyone else when she is the one who just gave birth? They talk about the importance of rest, warmth, skin-to-skin, community support, letting other people care for YOU, and rebuilding a village when your own mom or family isn't available. If you've ever wondered why postpartum can feel so lonely, overwhelming, or wildly different from what you expected, this conversation will make you rethink what we consider “normal” after birth. Because maybe the problem isn't that new moms aren't doing enough. Maybe we've stopped mothering the mother.   Guest Bio: Shafia Monroe is a Master of Public Health, author, veteran midwife, doula trainer, medicine woman, wife, mother and grandmother. She answered her call to be a healer as a young girl taking care of the elderly and stray animal. She founded the first national Black midwives organization in 1991, in 2011 she created Shafia Monroe Consulting personal development, and motivational speaking. And in 2017' she launched SMC Full Circle Doula Birth Companion Training to teach traditional birth and postpartum traditions, to improve infant and maternal, and honor the legacy of the 20th century African American midwife. Since 2002 she has trained over 5000 doulas. Her mission is to bring healing and happiness to every new mother and increase the number of doulas and midwives who will care for them. In her spare time, she grows medicinal herbs and fragrant flowers and fishes with her husband. On January 27, 2026, she published her book, “Mothering the Mother, African American Postpartum Traditions, Recipes, and Healing,” changing how the country looks at postpartum care.   Connect with Mama Shafia here: https://shafiamonroe.com/   SOCIAL MEDIA: Connect with HeHe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tranquilitybyhehe/ Connect with Mama Shafia on IG: https://www.instagram.com/shafiamonroe/   BIRTH EDUCATION: Learn how to stay in control of your birth and reduce the risk of unnecessary interventions in our Avoid a C-Section Webinar.

What if some of the organisms we've been taught to eradicate might actually play a role in regulating the human immune system? Autumn is sitting down with Kyla of Let's Heal IBD to explore one of the most unconventional therapies we've discussed yet: helminthic therapy, the controlled introduction of specific intestinal worms. After years of living with severe Crohn's disease, Kyla had endured chronic diarrhea, bleeding, extreme food intolerances, vomiting, multiple surgeries, abscesses, a fistula, and periods when simply eating became incredibly difficult. She tried dietary changes, stress reduction, meditation, yoga, and other approaches, but says her health continued to deteriorate.  Then she discovered helminthic therapy. Kyla shares why she decided to intentionally introduce specific species of intestinal worms into her body, what happened over the following months, and how she eventually reached clinical remission from Crohn's disease, according to her medical testing. In this episode, we discuss: What helminthic therapy actually is Why not every organism classified as a "parasite" behaves the same way The proposed relationship between helminths and immune regulation How modern sanitation may have changed our exposure to intestinal worms Kyla's 13-year journey with Crohn's disease Her experience with surgeries, abscesses, fistulas, food intolerances, bleeding, and chronic digestive symptoms Why dietary changes alone did not resolve her Crohn's symptoms The specific helminths used therapeutically How helminths are introduced into the body  Why Kyla believes modern humans may be missing an important piece of their ancestral gut ecosystem Resources Mentioned  Helminthic Therapy Wiki A community-created resource for information and personal experiences surrounding helminthic therapy.  Helminthic Therapy Facebook Support Group A community where people interested in helminthic therapy share experiences and resources.

In this tribute episode of "About Progress," I honor the legacy of my dear friend Carol Lynn Pearson. Her life spanned 86 years, during which she was a celebrated poet, playwright, and activist, prominently championing marginalized voices in the LGBTQ+ community within the LDS faith. Reflecting on our friendship, a lingering regret remains with me: the times I allowed life's challenges to pull me away from keeping in touch with her. Despite this, Carol Lynn's unwavering forgiveness and wisdom continue to inspire me every day. I invite you to join me in celebrating her rich life and enduring impact as I share personal anecdotes and sing her song "I'll Walk With You," a testament to the love and companionship she so fervently embodied.

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with registered nurse, birth advocate, and Girls Who Know founder Laurisa Paul for a powerful conversation about changing birth culture long before pregnancy ever begins. After experiencing two intervention-heavy hospital births, Laurisa's perspective on birth completely shifted through an unmedicated birth and later home births that showed her just how capable and intuitive our bodies can be. That journey inspired her to create Girls Who Know, an organization dedicated to helping girls grow up trusting their bodies instead of fearing them. Together, HeHe and Laurisa explore why body literacy, consent, anatomy, menstrual health, and birth education shouldn't start in adulthood... they should start in childhood. They discuss how teaching girls to understand their bodies from a young age can lay the foundation for more confident healthcare decisions, healthier relationships, and more empowered birth experiences later in life. They also talk about why boys deserve this education, too, and how raising an informed generation can help create more supportive partners, stronger families, and a healthier culture around birth. The conversation also covers practical ways parents can encourage body confidence at home, why using anatomically correct language matters, how to normalize conversations about puberty and birth without shame, and the resources Girls Who Know offers to families, schools, and communities. Whether you're raising daughters, sons, or simply dreaming of a future where the next generation enters pregnancy feeling informed instead of fearful, this episode is a beautiful reminder that birth education doesn't begin with a positive pregnancy test... it begins with how we teach our children to know, trust, and advocate for their bodies.   Guest Bio: Laurisa Paul is a Registered Nurse, homebirth and midwife advocate and the founder of Girls Who Know®, an organization that inspires girls to love who they are and trust their bodies. Medically trained, Laurisa stumbled across home birth when she was actively seeking for better birth experiences. After personally giving birth in multiple settings, she shifted outside mainstream medicine and began attending homebirths as a midwife assistant. Laurisa has a deep passion for supporting women and connecting with those she loves. She resides in Texas, where she is a mother of four almost-grown sons and one delightful daughter. Laurisa and her team at Girls Who Know® are improving childbirth outcomes through the education of girls while they are young.

  In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe dives into a conversation that's been weighing heavily on her heart since becoming a mom herself: how do we raise boys who grow into emotionally healthy, respectful, and compassionate men? After reflecting on the rise of "boy mom culture" and the messages it often sends about sons, relationships, and masculinity, HeHe sits down with perinatal mental health therapist and mom of five boys, Breeze Weasel, creator of the Better Boys Project. Together, they explore what it actually means to raise boys in today's world. From teaching consent and emotional intelligence to encouraging accountability, empathy, and healthy communication, they discuss how parents can intentionally break generational cycles and help their sons build strong, respectful relationships throughout their lives. HeHe and Breeze also unpack the influence of social media and the "manosphere," why difficult conversations about bodies, puberty, and respect can't wait until the teenage years, and how creating a home where kids feel safe asking questions can protect them from harmful messaging elsewhere. They talk about the importance of repairing after conflict, modeling healthy apologies, and showing children that mistakes don't define us... it's how we respond to them that matters. They also offer encouragement for parents navigating imperfect situations, including co-parenting challenges and relationships where emotional growth isn't always shared equally. Because while we can't control every influence our children will encounter, we can create a home where empathy, curiosity, respect, and accountability are lived out every day. Whether you're raising boys, girls, or both, this episode is a thoughtful reminder that we're not just raising children... we're shaping the adults they'll one day become. And the conversations we have today have the power to change generations.   Guest Bio: Breeze is a perinatal mental health therapist, content creator, and mother of 5. She loves creating content about being a millennial, mom, therapist, and comedy (sometimes dark humor because… the state of the world). She is currently in the middle of a series called “The Better Boys Project” where she records conversations about important topics - anything from privilege to menstruation - with her boys to help encourage others to do the same, and raise men who will help in the dismantling of the patriarchy. Follow her if you love: laughs, nostalgia about millennial childhood, feminism + anti-patriarchy content, reality tv takes, and talking shit about the government.

My first first day of school, as you probably know, did not go well. Unless you count laying on the floor of my office crying at the end of the day "going well." It was the first time I ever realized you could be thinking one thing while saying something completely different. "Take a look at the syllabus," said my mouth, while my brain said, OH NO, they hate this! They're looking at the clock! And you have nothing else planned! And you have to do this with three more classes! Since then, "going over the syllabus" is not in my first day playbook. Nope, the last thing I want on day one is to stand in front of the class and lecture about our course texts, my expectations, and their upcoming units.

HeHe and Mom Mom Maria also share practical strategies for setting boundaries without guilt, responding confidently in the moment, presenting a united front with your partner, and navigating family members who struggle to respect your decisions. They talk about the difference between healthy support and entitlement, why consequences sometimes become necessary, and how protecting your peace in postpartum isn't selfish... it's one of the greatest gifts you can give your growing family.

What if the greatest spiritual battles in your life aren't the obvious ones? What if the enemy's most effective strategy isn't fear or chaos—but subtle conditioning that slowly shapes what you normalize, desire, and depend upon without ever realizing it? In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Joel Muddamalle challenges some of the most common assumptions Christians have about spiritual warfare, while exploring the deeper connection between stewardship, relationships, suffering, healing, and spiritual formation. Together, we wrestle with questions many believers quietly carry: • Are we mistaking shortcuts for God's best? • How do we discern healthy stewardship from unhealthy dependence? • When is a relationship no longer moving toward repentance and restoration? • What role do childhood wounds really play in our adult relationships? • How do we continue trusting God when healing feels delayed and prayers seem unanswered? If you've ever wrestled with disappointment, difficult relationships, confusing seasons, or wondered how God is shaping you through the process instead of simply rescuing you from it, this conversation will leave you thinking long after it ends.

Micah and Trey steelman both sides.Then Micah goes deep on his actual cold calling framework, the mindset trick he still uses to kill call reluctance, his exact opener script, how to handle silence and pushback on the phone, and why collapsing the time between your first meeting and your AOR/BOR pitch can make or break the deal.........

We're bringing back one of our most-loved conversations because the truth is... every parent deserves to know all of their options before labor begins. Whether you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an epidural, or simply want to feel prepared for whatever your birth unfolds, this episode is packed with evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions with confidence. In this re-aired episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Nicole Rankins for a balanced, judgment-free conversation about pain management in the hospital. Together, they break down the full spectrum of comfort measures available during labor, from epidurals and IV medications to nitrous oxide and non-medicated coping techniques, while discussing the benefits, limitations, and considerations of each. They also dive into common misconceptions about epidurals, how different pain relief options can impact labor, and why understanding your choices before contractions begin can help you feel more confident, empowered, and in control throughout your birth experience. Whether you're planning your first birth or preparing for another, this conversation is a reminder that there's no "right" way to give birth. The best choice is the one that's informed, intentional, and aligned with your goals. Guest Bio Dr. Nicole Rankins is a board-certified OB-GYN, childbirth educator, and host of the All About Pregnancy & Birth podcast. A Duke University-trained physician with more than two decades of experience delivering babies, she's passionate about helping parents understand their options so they can make informed, confident decisions throughout pregnancy and birth. Through her podcast, courses, and educational resources, Dr. Nicole empowers families with evidence-based information while championing patient autonomy and shared decision-making.

You're Not Stuck—You're Between Waves What if your slower season isn't a sign that you've lost your momentum, creativity, ambition, or purpose? What if you're simply between waves? After taking an unplanned two-month break from the podcast, I'm back—but not with a perfectly packaged breakthrough, a major announcement, or a brand-new course to sell you. I'm returning from a season of moving slowly, creating differently, resting more, and learning how to sit in the unknown without turning it into a problem. I don't feel lost. I don't even feel stuck. I know I'm where I'm supposed to be, and I have a deep intuitive sense that something big is coming. I just can't see it clearly yet. Right now, I'm riding a wave that feels less like surfing and more like floating around the lazy river—and strangely, I'm completely okay with that. In this episode, we're talking about what it means to trust the quiet seasons of life and business—especially when you aren't producing, launching, posting consistently, or chasing the next goal. We'll explore the difference between being stuck and being still, how to trust divine timing, and why a lack of visible progress doesn't necessarily mean that nothing is happening. This conversation is for the entrepreneur, creative, coach, healer, content creator, or intuitive woman who feels like she should be doing more—but knows deep down that forcing productivity isn't the answer. If you've been experiencing a creative block, burnout, low motivation, content fatigue, nervous system exhaustion, or uncertainty about your next chapter, this episode will help you look at your season through a different lens. We'll talk about releasing productivity guilt, resting without feeling lazy, and staying connected to your intuition when you don't have a clear plan. We'll also explore how creativity can continue to move through you even when it isn't becoming content, a podcast episode, a course, a launch, or something you can monetize. Because maybe your creativity hasn't disappeared. Maybe it has simply stopped performing for an audience. Sometimes personal growth looks like expansion, action, and visible momentum. Other times, it looks like slowing down, regulating your nervous system, following your curiosity, reconnecting with yourself, and allowing your next direction to reveal itself naturally. Not every season needs to be optimized. Not every pause needs to become a breakthrough. And not every chapter of your life needs to produce something tangible in order to be meaningful. In this episode, we explore: How to sit in uncertainty without spiraling or forcing an answer The difference between feeling stuck and moving slowly How to trust your intuition when you don't know what comes next Why rest is not the same as losing momentum The connection between nervous system regulation, burnout, and creativity How to release guilt around productivity and inconsistent content What it means to create without performing, posting, or monetizing How to recognize the difference between intuitive timing and fear-based avoidance Why quiet seasons can be an important part of personal growth and spiritual alignment How to trust yourself, your purpose, and God's timing when the path ahead isn't clear If you're navigating a life transition, business transition, identity shift, spiritual awakening, creative drought, healing season, or an uncomfortable period of not knowing, I hope this episode gives you permission to stop treating yourself like a mystery that needs to be solved. You may not be falling behind. You may not have lost your purpose. You may simply be in the sacred space between what was and what's coming next. You are allowed to be in motion without being in a hurry. You are allowed to rest without losing your momentum. And you are allowed to sit in the unknown without calling yourself stuck.

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with pelvic floor physical therapist Hayley Kava, founder of UMA Pelvic Health, to tackle one of the most common pregnancy complaints that doesn't get nearly enough attention: SI joint pain. If you've been told pregnancy pain is "just part of it," this conversation is your reminder that you don't have to simply suffer through it. Hayley explains what's actually happening in your pelvis during pregnancy, why SI joint pain develops, and how your pelvic floor, core, ribcage, breathing, and overall movement patterns all work together. Together, HeHe and Hayley break down why treating the pelvis in isolation often misses the bigger picture, how pregnancy hormones and your changing biomechanics influence pain, and why small changes to the way you move, stand, breathe, and rest can make a huge difference. They also discuss practical tools like SI belts, belly support bands, Pilates balls, yoga blocks, and gentle movement strategies, along with when those tools can help... and when they might not. Hayley also shares why pelvic floor physical therapy isn't just about internal exams (and yes, those are always optional), how to build a supportive birth team, and why individualized care is one of the best investments you can make during pregnancy. Whether you're already dealing with pelvic pain or hoping to prevent it, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based strategies to help you move more comfortably, feel more supported, and better understand your changing body throughout pregnancy. 00:00 Stop Blaming Pelvic Floor 01:03 Pelvic Floor Basics 01:56 Meet Hayley Kava 03:19 Why SI Pain Matters 06:43 SI Joint Anatomy 09:18 Normal Asymmetry Patterns 12:20 Pubic Pain and Rolling 15:52 Inhibit Then Retrain 17:56 Rubiks Cube Body Model 20:10 Stop Bracing to Sneeze 21:34 Pregnancy Posture Fixes 25:31 Preparing for Labor Moves 29:14 Build Your Care Team 33:39 Pregnancy Compensation Patterns 34:36 Spotting Habitual Postures 36:46 Mindful Pain Check Ins 38:29 Shifting Stance And Sitting 41:29 Tension Beyond Pelvic Floor 43:23 Guarding And SI Joint Myths 46:16 Ribs Hip And Big Picture 47:57 Internal Exam Is Optional 50:38 Daily Tools And Movement 56:43 Services Access And Wrap Up   Guest Bio: Hayley became a pelvic floor therapist in 2017 after a birth injury opened her eyes to the limitations in traditional pelvic rehab.
