In this episode, I sit down with midwife and storyteller Nicole Morales, LM, CPM for a soulful conversation about birth, story, and the courage required to meet the unknown. We explore how birth unfolds far beyond cervical measurements and timelines, and how physiology, culture, and personal history weave together to shape every experience.

Nicole shares her perspective on restorative midwifery, the power of story as a guide, and how breech birth invites us to see the world differently. Together, we look at the humility and curiosity needed in birth work and the importance of staying present when the path ahead is unclear. This conversation reminds us that birth is never just a clinical event. It is a living, human rite of passage that asks us to listen deeply and step into the mystery with an open heart.

In this episode, I sit down with trans Papa Herbie Huff for an eye-opening and deeply human conversation about pregnancy beyond the gender binary. Together, we explore what it means to carry a baby (twins even!) while living outside traditional gender expectations, how identity and physiology intersect, and what truly affirming prenatal care looks like. Herbie invites us into the realities of being a pregnant papa in today's world and shares with honesty, humor, and clarity what this experience has meant for him, his partner, and their growing family. This conversation widens the story of birth and reminds us that pregnancy is a profoundly human experience.

I'm joined by mindfulness teacher and parenting mentor Hunter Clarke-Fields for a heartfelt exploration of mindful communication. Together, we look at what it truly means to listen, to acknowledge, and to meet one another with presence. We talk about the power of reflective listening, the relief that comes when emotions are named instead of dismissed, and the deep human longing felt by children and adults alike to be seen and heard. This conversation invites us to slow down, soften, and consider how communication rooted in compassion can transform both parenting and our own inner landscapes.
