Mindful Midwifery Presents: Calm, Collected & Consented Childbirth

health, fitness, kids, family, parenting · EN-US

Birth isn't a solo event, so why does birth prep treat it like one? Hosted by certified nurse midwife Katie O'Brien, who has spent nearly two decades welcoming babies into the world, this podcast rebuilds childbirth education from the ground up — for the whole family unit, not just the person giving birth. Each episode dives into the real conversations couples need to have before labor starts: how to prepare support partners so they walk in with skills and confidence instead of guesswork, how to communicate through disagreements before you're in the middle of them, and how to navigate the countless gray areas of pregnancy and labor and postpartum without buying into the myth that there's one "right way" to do it. No TikTok clips, no oversimplified takes — just complete, judgment-free information delivered with the flexibility of a podcast you can listen to anywhere, together or apart. Calm, Collected, and Consented is here to help you and your support people show up for birth
