  • But Mom and Baby Are “Healthy” - The Truth About Birth Trauma with Dee Sheridan
    Send us a textLet’s be honest—birth doesn’t always go the way we planned.And even when we can say, “Mom and baby are healthy!”—there’s often still something underneath the surface we haven’t fully unpacked.Maybe it’s guilt. Maybe it’s regret.Maybe it’s a questioned “what if” you haven’t said out loud.Today’s episode is pulled from a live workshop I hosted inside The Cultivate Crew, and from the moment we hit record, I knew it needed to live here on the podcast too. The guest you’ll hear from is Dee—nurse, doula, and founder of Birth Story Now and Zen—and she is a true gift to postpartum moms everywhere.In the episode, Dee walks us through what birth story healing actually looks like, why so many of us still carry unspoken pain from our births, and how powerful it is to name the moment that’s still lingering.This conversation has deeply impacted how I’ve processed my most recent birth experience—especially after being separated from my son after delivery—and I’m hopeful it’ll support many of you, too.So, If you’ve ever wondered why you still feel “off” about your birth… or if you’re preparing for your next and hoping to feel more peace… this episode is for you.Disclaimer: The information and stories shared during this episode is intended to offer general guidance and support.

  • The First Hours After Birth: Postpartum Recovery, Pumping, and Bonding With My NICU Baby
    Send us a textCan you imagine recovering from birth—and not having your baby in your arms?It’s something no mother plans for, but it’s the reality for so many NICU moms. In this episode, Chelsea is sharing what those first hours after birth looked like for her: recovering after birth while her son was in the NICU, navigating pumping, care windows, and bonding from across the hospital.This isn’t a how-to—it’s a reflection on the emotions that surfaced when her postpartum recovery didn't go as expected. She talks about the weight of being separated from your baby, the overwhelm of updating family when you're still processing everything yourself, and how grief and gratitude can both exist. She also opens up about how she and her husband experienced NICU visits differently, how her faith held her steady, and what she wished more people knew about this experience.If you or someone you love is walking through early postpartum with a NICU baby, she prays this conversation helps you feel seen, validated, and supported.Disclaimer: The information and stories shared during this episode is intended to offer general guidance and support.

The go-to podcast for moms who want to feel less overwhelmed in the trenches of early motherhood. ***TOP 5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST *** You did everything they told you to do.You took the birth class.You built the baby registry.You prepped the nursery, the hospital bag-maybe even printed a checklist or two.

You’re in the right place, mama. Hi, I’m Chelsea Barbine—wife, mom of two under three, postpartum health coach, and the friend who will always ask you to tell me more.I’ve lived two very different postpartum realities.The first? A summer baby who arrived five days past her due date. I had a 9–5 job, full-time childcare, and a calm, two-person household. The second? A winter baby born six weeks early, 16 days in the NICU, a toddler at home, and a business I wasn’t taking much of a "maternity leave" from. What I’ve learned is this: the only way to be the mom you want to be is to make sure you’re supported, too. On a mission to rewrite the postpartum narrative for the collective I’m sharing my “secrets” to better sleep, sanity and self-identity in motherhood. Because truthfully - the health and happiness of the world depends on us!If you’re ready to finally feel at home in your postpartum body… to create rhythms that support your healing, boost your energy, and strengthen your bond with your baby… to make confident decisions without spending hours scrolling for answers… and to reconnect with who you are—without the mom guilt—this podcast is for you.So throw in that claw clip and grab your Hydrojug.
