Pregnancy & Birth, in Hindsight: Episode 38



One hospital birth. Two home births. Two birthing center deliveries. Three scheduled cesarean sections.

Meagan and Sarah have had eight pregnancies between them (now eight kids ages 3-18!) and about as wide a cross-section of birth experiences as you can get. In Episode 38, at the request of several pregnant listeners, we travel back in time and share our pregnancy and birth stories with the benefit of hindsight. Join us as we talk about medical decision-making, finding your trusted pregnancy and birth cheerleaders, and what we might have done differently.

8 Milestones & When Our Kids Met Them: Episode 34

(Totally Not Overwhelming) Health & Wellness Inspiration: Episode 33



Neither Meagan nor Sarah is a resolution-maker, but we both love starting fresh after the holidays with renewed energy and focus. Today we’re talking about fitness, food, and self-care – our own intentions for 2016 as well as what has worked for us (and not so much) in the past.
