  • Following Your Intuition into Motherhood with Jess from Intimate Mama
    2025/09/25

    Episode Summary: Ever feel a disconnect between medical advice and your own inner knowing? This week, we're joined by Jess Snyder, a former labor and delivery nurse turned personal growth coach and founder of Intimate Mama. Jess shares her powerful journey and teaches us how to blend evidence-based knowledge with deep, intuitive trust in our bodies, empowering us to advocate for ourselves from fertility through motherhood.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    Segment 1: The Woman Behind the Mission
    We begin by getting to know the heart behind Intimate Mama. Jess shares her personal journey as a mother of three and opens up about the powerful birth story that illuminated her path. She reflects on her years as a labor and delivery nurse, sharing what she learned from the clinical side of birth and the "aha!" moment—that deep, intuitive nudge—that called her to leave a traditional career and create a space for women to connect with their own inner wisdom.


    Segment 2: Introducing Intimate Mama
    What does it mean to be an "Intimate Mama"? Jess unpacks the beautiful meaning behind the name and the core mission of her work: empowering women to cultivate an intimate connection with themselves first. She walks us through her holistic services, designed to support women through every stage of their journey:

    • The Mission: Helping women bridge the gap between their mind and body, reconnecting with their innate wisdom and feminine power.
    • Feminine Embodiment & Life Coaching: What this practice looks like and how it can transform your experience of motherhood.
    • Courses & Offerings: A look at the different ways you can work with Jess to align with your desires and step into your most authentic self.

    Segment 3: The "Why" and The "How": Blending Science and Soul

    This is where we get into the core philosophy of Jess's work. She explains why combining her medical background with intuitive, holistic practices is the key to true empowerment. When you trust your intuition and back it up with knowledge, you become your own best advocate.

    • Trusting Your Gut: Why your intuition is your most powerful guide in birth and parenting.
    • Informed Consent: How to move beyond simply being told what to do and truly partner with your care providers.
    • A Word for Partners: Jess shares powerful advice for partners on how to best support and advocate for the birthing person, creating a circle of trust and safety.
    • Client Transformation: Jess shares a moving story of a client's journey back to her own power.

    Segment 4: Your Final Takeaway & Parent Pact

    To close out our conversation, we ask Jess for the one piece of wisdom she wants to leave with every parent. Her answer is a beautiful reminder of the power we all hold within.

    • The Whisper to Remember: The one thing Jess wants every woman to hear when she's in the thick of life.
