In this episode, we’re having an honest and compassionate conversation with Grace's actual doula who attended her birth about birth that doesn’t go according to plan. So many women walk away from their birth experience carrying guilt, shame, or a deep sense that their body “failed.” But the truth is—birth is complex, unpredictable, and influenced by so many factors outside of your control.

We explore why this narrative of failure is so common, how societal expectations and messaging around “ideal births” contribute to it, and what it looks like to reframe your experience with compassion instead of self-blame. Whether your birth involved complications, interventions, trauma, or simply didn’t match what you hoped for—this episode is here to remind you: you did not fail.

In this episode, we’re challenging the idea that being a “picky eater” is something to feel embarrassed about. So many of us have internalized the belief that our food preferences say something negative about us—that we’re difficult, immature, or high-maintenance. But what if that’s not true?

We explore how food has become tied to social approval, how judgment around eating habits can quietly harm our relationship with food (and each other), and why it’s okay—actually healthy—to prioritize enjoyment over expectations. This conversation is about reclaiming autonomy, reducing shame, and creating a more compassionate, flexible approach to eating.
