Did you know that the way you position your body during labor can literally make or break how smoothly things progress? 🤯
Most hospital births still default to pushing flat on your back—but here’s the truth your OB might not mention: your pelvis is designed to MOVE—and your labor positions should too!
In this episode, we’re breaking it all down:
🔹 The three major parts of the pelvis—the inlet, midpelvis, and outlet—and how different movements and positions help baby navigate each one
🔹 Why lying flat can actually stall labor (and what positions open your pelvis and encourage progress)
🔹 The best movement and position strategies even if you have an epidural (yes, you can still move and adjust!)
🔹 How your partner, doula, or support team can help you change positions easily and keep things flowing
Your body was made for this. Movement isn’t just nice—it’s essential.
Tune in to learn how to work with your body, maximize your labor progress, and feel more powerful and comfortable every step of the way. 💪✨
You deserve a birth where your body leads—and this episode will show you how.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
