Are you preparing for birth… or just planning a wedding-level event?
In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Debra Pascali-Bonaro is joined by Nina Spears, founder of Baby Chick, to explore why so many families spend hundreds of hours planning weddings—but only a fraction of that preparing for birth and postpartum.
Together, they dive into what actually creates a positive, empowered, and even pleasurable birth experience—and why preparation, support, and informed choices are everything.
Nina shares insights from supporting over 800 families and attending 350+ births, along with her own deeply personal birth experiences, including how knowledge shaped her decisions and outcomes.
This episode is a call to rethink how we prepare for one of life's most transformative experiences.
In this episode, you'll hear:
-
Why pregnancy is the true preparation for motherhood—not just baby
-
How safety in the body influences oxytocin, endorphins, and birth outcomes
-
The critical role of partners as advocates and support systems
-
How to choose the right care team for you
-
Why birth plans should be created together—not alone
-
The importance of preparing for postpartum (not just birth)
-
What it really means to have an "orgasmic birth" experience
Key takeaway:
When a woman feels safe, supported, respected, and prepared—her body can open. And that's where powerful, transformative birth experiences begin.
