Held & Heard: Infant potty training, elimination communication & postpartum motherhood

Held and Heard is a podcast for mothers who believe their babies are communicating from the very beginning—and that motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

Hosted by Heather Medlin, mother of three and founder of Ready From Birth, this show explores elimination communication (EC), infant potty training, and the deeper postpartum journey of learning to listen—to your baby, your body, and your intuition.

You’ll hear conversations about: - Baby-led toilet learning from birth - Understanding your baby’s signals - Practicing EC in real life (while working, using diapers, and staying sane) - Navigating doubt, resistance, and confidence as a new mother

This is not about perfection or pressure. It’s about communication, connection, and remembering what you already know.

If you’re pregnant, postpartum, EC-curious, or already practicing—this is a place to land, exhale, and feel less alone.
