Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean our culture always makes it easy.

In this conversation with Lactation Counselor Andrea Haskins, aka @instinctualmothering, we take a deeper look at the forces, messaging, and misinformation that can make breastfeeding harder than it needs to be. We talk about the influence of formula companies, the often-conflicting advice given to new mothers, the pressure and fear surrounding infant feeding, breastfeeding beyond infancy, and why so many mothers lose confidence in their own instincts.

This is a conversation about education, empowerment, and helping mothers feel informed enough to trust their bodies, their babies, and their God-given intuition.

I found Travis Stroud—AKA @Doula.Dude—about four months ago, and I remember thinking, YES. More men need to hear this.

Travis is changing the conversation around birth by doing something incredibly important: educating husbands about their role in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Because Dad isn’t supposed to be a spectator in the room.

He can be her protector.
Her advocate.
Her steady presence.
Her encourager.
Her partner in understanding what’s happening to her body and her baby.
And, in so many ways, a doula for his own wife.

I truly believe Travis has a God-given mission in the work he is doing. His content is not only incredible—it challenges men to get curious, get educated, and actually show up for the birth of their children.

And our conversation was SO much fun. We talked about what it looks like for husbands to support undisturbed physiological birth the way God designed it, how they can protect the birth space, and what it means to become an incredible advocate for their wife and baby—even when they choose to birth in a hospital.

My hope is that this conversation inspires more husbands to stop thinking of birth as something that is simply happening to their wife…

…and start realizing that they have a powerful role to play.

Men, this one is for you.
Mamas, send this to your husband.

Let’s raise a generation of fathers who are informed, present, courageous, and ready to protect the sacred work of birth.

Travis, thank you for saying what needs to be said and doing the work God has called you to do.

This full-body somatic meditation is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and cultivate deep trust in the wisdom of your own body. Created for both men and women, this guided practice uses intentional breath, gentle body awareness, and nervous system regulation to help you move beyond fear, outside opinions, and mental overwhelm so you can discern what feels truly right, aligned, and authentic for your conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. As you learn to regulate your body through breath and somatic connection, you create the conditions for greater peace, clarity, resilience, and confidence—not only in your birth experience but in every area of life. When your nervous system feels safe, your inner wisdom becomes easier to hear, allowing you to make decisions from a place of grounded presence rather than fear.
