This week, Dr. Lauryn continues her recent exploration into the world of birth care, this time joined by Dr. Rebecca Dekker, founder of Evidence Based Birth, to discuss what the research actually says regarding some of the biggest talking points (and as we find out, myths) around birth. This convo is jam packed with great info to pass along to any expecting mothers in your practice, and many of the research fact sheets referenced are listed below, so be sure to print some out and have them handy the next time a pregnant mom has questions!

Rebecca L. Dekker, PhD, RN, is the founder and CEO of Evidence Based Birth®, and author of the bestselling book, “Babies Are Not Pizzas: They’re Born, Not Delivered.” Dr. Dekker received her Master of Science in Nursing and her Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing from the University of Kentucky. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Dr. Dekker has built a strong reputation in maternal and infant health circles for her pioneering work as the founder of Evidence Based Birth.® The mission of EBB is to raise the quality of childbirth care globally, by putting accurate, evidence based research into the hands of families and communities, so they can make informed, empowered choices.

During their discussion, Dr. Dekker shares her own birthing story and lessons learned from it that spurred her work in this field, why the birthing model is backwards, where and who are doing the best work, and then goes topic by topic giving some of the latest research results on many of the most common talking points around birth.

What starts as a content side hustle can soon become a burgeoning second career – if you know the roadmap to working with brands and cultivating a community that is. In this week’s episode, Dr. Lauryn is joined by Cubicle to CEO founder Ellen Yin to discuss all things content creation, brand partnerships, community building, and more.

Ellen Yin's journey from "Cubicle to CEO®" began when she quit her corporate marketing job five years ago, without a backup plan. A month into her job search, she landed her first freelance marketing client and decided to never send out resumes again. By continuously reinvesting her profits back into the business, she bootstrapped her initial $300 client project into over $2.5 million in revenue by the age of 29. To date, Ellen has mentored over 10,000 students through her online programs. She hosts the "Cubicle to CEO®" podcast every Monday— a top 100 entrepreneurship podcast where successful founders answer the business questions you can't find on Google.

During their conversation, Dr. Lauryn and Ellen discuss the glamorization of entrepreneurship on social media, learning to speak the language of the brand you are working with, going beyond affiliate deals and sponsored content, how to avoid becoming a walking billboard, and much more!

Going from chiropractic student to actual practitioner is a big jump that can be scary, confusing, and full of obstacles. To tackle some of the most pressing questions young or soon to be chiropractors might have, Dr. Lauryn made an Instagram post a week ago asking the following, “if you’re a chiro student or new grad ask a question, if you’ve been in practice awhile answer a question.” There has been a ton of great advice and conversation going on in the comments of that post (so definitely check it out) and for this week’s solo show Dr. Lauryn has rounded up the 10 most asked questions from that post and answers them all herself. Topics covered include things school didn’t teach you that you wish they would have, deciding where to practice and at what volume, balancing work and life, imposter syndrome, and more!
