Have you ever wondered why so many hospital birth protocols include interventions that don’t actually improve outcomes?
In this episode, we will cover:
- The hospital procedures that are “routine” but rarely necessary—and how they often lead to more interventions...
- Why saying no to things like continuous monitoring or coached pushing can actually lead to safer, smoother births...
- How to decline unnecessary hospital interventions without being labeled “difficult” (and still be taken seriously)...
- … and a whole lot more!
If you’re ready to protect your peace and advocate for a birth that feels aligned with your values—not hospital policy—then this episode is for you!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
