Melania is just weeks away from welcoming her second baby—and in this intimate, emotional, and often hilarious episode, we sit down for a real, raw conversation about everything she’s doing differently this time around. From preparing Markus for big brotherhood to confronting her fears from her first birth, Melania opens up about how choosing a holistic path has transformed her mindset and confidence.
Together, we unpack what it really means to prepare for a physiological birth, why education is power (especially for second-time moms!), and how postpartum healing begins with honoring your instincts. Whether you’re pregnant with your first or your fourth, this episode will remind you of the strength you already carry—and why your birth experience matters just as much as your baby’s arrival.
Key Highlights: • How Melania is preparing emotionally and physically for her second birth • The differences between her first hospital birth and her upcoming midwife-assisted birth • Tips for easing your older child into becoming a sibling • The value of childbirth education—especially with a good doula • Letting go of perfection (and Pinterest nurseries) to focus on what really matters • How fear impacts instinct—and how to rebuild trust in your body • Navigating decisions like GBS testing and glucose screenings without judgment • Creating a strong postpartum support system before baby arrives • Funny, heartfelt moments like best friend birth bag must-haves, code words, and more • Why this birth will be different—and how Melania plans to say, “I did it!”
