EPISODE 2: When Birth Plans Break and Power is Rebuilt, India & Dallas’ Story

In this episode, I sat down with India and Dallas, two incredible parents who’ve walked through the fire when it comes to birth, loss, and resilience. Their story includes multiple miscarriages, a traumatic hospital birth, and eventually, a powerful home birth where everything shifted.

We talked about:

Losing your voice in the hospital system

Making hard pivots when plans fall apart

How midwifery isn’t always enough without the right support

What real birth advocacy looks like, for moms and partners

Why their home birth became a turning point in reclaiming autonomy

They opened up about the fear, the grief, the faith, and what it means to find safety in the birth space after trauma. Through every hard chapter, they kept digging for answers—and didn’t stop until they found the care they deserved.

EPISODE 1: What It Really Means to Keep Your Power

Hey y’all, I’m so glad you’re here. In this very first episode, I’m sitting down to share what Keeping Your Power® really means to me, and why I felt called to start this podcast.

After 26 years in birth work, parenting four kids, becoming a Mimi, and walking through some of the hardest seasons of my life, divorce, estrangement, caring for aging parents, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t about being strong all the time. It’s about knowing who you are, choosing your values, and showing up even when it’s messy.

In this episode, I’m getting real about:

• What I lost (and found) in my own story

• How self-awareness changed everything

• Why power has nothing to do with control

• What it looks like to build your voice from the inside out

If you’ve ever felt like you were just surviving, or trying to fake strength while falling apart, I see you. This space is for you. Let’s walk this road together.
