  • Big Podcast Update!! 😍🎙️
    The MLN Podcast is on pause..but not for long!!  In this candid episode, I share a short personal update on the challenges I've faced in recent months that led to re-airing old podcast episodes. I open up about the real-life struggles that have drained my energy and delayed new content creation.  But now, I'm thrilled to announce that I'm back with renewed vigor and exciting plans!! I've been working hard on building a new content studio with a fake hospital room to deliver more visual and engaging educational content.  Mark your calendars for Spring 2025, when the new format of the Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast will debut. I can't wait to share this fresh, fun, and insightful content with all of you!!  And...I'd love you forever if you'd subscribe to my YouTube channel to experience the episodes in their full glory. Let's embark on this exciting journey together!!

  • Hollywood vs. Reality: Liesel + Jenna React to Birth on the Big Screen
    *Hi guys! Liesel here. I wanted to let you know that the Mommy Labor Nurse podcast as you know it is currently getting a HUGE facelift! In the meantime, please enjoy this re-air of a fan favorite episode!! And stay tuned to my instagram for updates on when the new and improved Mommy Labor Nurse podcast will be back with all new episodes!* ****** This week on the podcast, I had my sister Jenna come on the show for a fun and light hearted episode that I’m really excited to share with you guys. Jenna and I watched some birth videos – but not the kind of birth videos that you’re thinking of! – and react to them live on the episode. I thought it’d be interesting coming from me as a labor and delivery nurse and from Jenna, who you know has never been pregnant and doesn’t have any kids. I’m not gonna spoil too much of the episode. It was a lot of fun to record, but was also a big pain in the butt to get ready for, so I hope you guys like it!
