In this episode, I introduce my husband, Dr. James (but you can call him Jimmy!), a physical therapist like myself. Together, we dive into the birth story of our firstborn, Noah—a hospital birth that did not go as planned.

From being told my body was failing me before labor even started to a traumatic induction, unnecessary interventions, and feeling like an inconvenience during pushing, this experience shook me to my core. But in a surprising twist, my labor and delivery nurses ended up taking notes on how I pushed—planting the first seed for what would later become The Push Lab.

If you’re preparing for birth, you need to hear this. Let’s talk about what went right, what went wrong, and the biggest takeaways that could change how you approach your own birth experience.

Don't forget the BRAIN acronym for your own birth journey!

If you want a birth plan that goes beyond ‘hope for the best,’ then the Push Lab is for you! Because birth isn’t just about getting the baby out—it’s about setting *you* up for the strongest start to motherhood. Sign up here!
