In this episode of Adjusting Motherhood, Dr. Alyssa and Dr. Meg sit down for an honest conversation about their personal experiences with labor induction. From the emotions leading up to the decision, to what the process actually felt like, to how it all unfolded — nothing is off-limits.
They open up about what surprised them most, what they wish they’d known beforehand, and how their inductions shaped their birth stories and postpartum experiences. Whether you’re facing an induction, curious about what it’s really like, or just love hearing raw, real mom stories — this one’s for you.
In this episode of Adjusting Motherhood, Dr. Alyssa sits down with Lainey Schmidt, founder and scent artist behind The Fleurish Co, to dive into the art and science of creating custom fragrances. Lainey shares her journey as a business owner, the heart behind her clean scent philosophy, and how she turns memories and emotions into signature blends. From building a brand rooted in intention to redefining what “clean” means in the world of fragrance, this episode will leave you inspired to find — or create — a scent that truly feels like you.
✨ Tune in for an uplifting conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, and the power of scent to tell your story. And one sniff the new ANH scent!!
Breastfeeding isn’t always as simple as “latch and go.” Many parents experience painful roadblocks like blebs, clogged ducts, and vasospasms that can make feeding stressful and overwhelming. In this episode of Adjusting Motherhood, we break down what these challenges really are, why they happen, and how you can find relief.
We’ll dive into:
• What blebs, clogged ducts, and vasospasms feel like and how to recognize them
• At-home care strategies and when to seek professional help
• How bodywork for infants can reduce oral and full-body tension that contributes to feeding struggles
• Supportive treatments like therapeutic ultrasound and other evidence-based approaches
Whether you’re in the thick of it or want to be prepared, this episode is packed with practical guidance and encouragement so you can feel confident in your breastfeeding journey.
Birth is one of the most physically demanding experiences your baby will ever go through. From the pressure of contractions to the twists and turns of delivery—or even the abrupt pull of a C-section—your little one’s musculoskeletal and nervous systems are put to the test.
In this episode of Adjusting Motherhood, the doctors breaks down how the birth process can impact your baby’s body and nervous system, what signs parents should look for, and how gentle chiropractic care can support comfort, feeding, sleep, and healthy development.
Whether you’re expecting, newly postpartum, or just curious about the connection between birth and baby wellness, this episode will give you the insight and reassurance every parent deserves.
This week, we’re cracking open Lights Out by Navessa Allen and letting the spice flow. Join us as we dive into this steamy read and talk all things smut, intimacy, and reclaiming your sensual self — especially in the postpartum chapter of life. From blushing scenes to real-life libido lows (and highs!), we’re keeping it honest, hilarious, and just the right amount of unhinged. Book club has never been so hot.
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Patrick Boswell—licensed acupuncturist, birth doula, and passionate advocate for integrative care—to explore the incredible intersection of acupuncture and birthwork.
We dive into how acupuncture supports fertility, pregnancy, labor prep, and postpartum recovery, as well as Patrick’s unique experience providing acupuncture in hospital settings. He shares what it’s like being a man in the birth world, the gifts and challenges that come with that role, and how he supports birthing people through presence, energy, and expertise.
Plus, you’ll hear the beautiful story of Dr. Meg’s birth, told through the eyes of a doula deeply involved in the journey.
Whether you’re a birthworker, a parent-to-be, or just curious about how Eastern medicine blends with modern birth care, this episode is packed with insight, heart, and healing.
