In this episode, we’re digging into why moms consume their placentas, what the research actually says about the supposed benefits, and why some moms are just keeping their placenta in the freezer for years.

Most moms just don’t know enough about birth... and honestly, it’s keeping you scared of things that are completely normal.
In this episode, we’re talking cord around the neck, meconium, long labors, cervical lips, and other things that get treated like problems when they can actually be part of normal birth physiology.
If you want to walk into birth feeling less afraid and more like you actually understand what your body is doing, listen to this one.
