Episode 133
Tuesday, 8 September, 2026
Everyone preps for birth. Almost nobody preps for what comes after. In this episode, Brooke sits down with Nina Spears, founder of Baby Chick and doula, childbirth educator, and perinatal nutrition expert with 15 years of experience supporting over 800 families. Nina breaks down what pregnancy, birth, and postpartum really look like behind closed doors, and why preparing to become a mother matters just as much as preparing for a baby. In this episode, you'll learn: What most moms wish they'd known before birth How to build a birth plan that works like a flowchart, not a wish list What the first month postpartum actually looks like (the unsexy truth) How partners can step up without waiting to be told what to do Tips for processing a NICU stay or a birth that didn't go as planned Why building your village before you need it changes everything Nina's one big mindset shift: stop chasing the perfect nursery and start preparing for the mother you're becoming.
