2026/09/14
When furlough and a newborn collided with the start of a global pause, one engineer found herself at a crossroads.

285. Pregnancy, Genetics, and Missing Nutrients with Aimee Aminnaugh
2026/05/25
Aimee Minnaugh’s story begins with heartbreak and unfolds into purpose: after multiple miscarriages and the discovery of a genetic mutation that blocked her body’s ability to process folic acid, she refused to accept inadequate prenatal care. In this episode she guides listeners through her personal search for answers, the science that changed everything, and the moment she teamed up with clinicians to design a better prenatal supplement for others. We follow Aimee from the sleepless, confusing days piecing together dozens of pills to the relief of a thoughtfully formulated sachet, and hear practical postpartum wisdom on hydration, pelvic-floor care, and why nutrition before conception matters. If you’re curious, cautious, or craving clarity about prenatal and postpartum nutrition, this episode is honest, hopeful, and deeply helpful.

282. Homebirth Experience: The Birth Story of Our Third Baby
2026/05/04
At 41 weeks, Sarah’s quiet night shifts from anxious waiting to full-blown labor in one generous breath: her water breaks, there’s unexpected bleeding, and a choice that will shape everything, go to the hospital or stay home. With intuition and a steady birth team, she chooses home, setting the stage for an intimate, wildly human experience. A husband with a to-do list, doulas braiding hair and holding space, a sling, belly lifts, and the hum of tea lights as the tub fills. Between hypnosis tracks and fierce waves, Sarah moves from five centimeters to the unstoppable urge to push in under an hour, surrendering to the body that has carried her through three very different pregnancies. Baby number 3 slips earthside in the early morning, a gasp of relief, a sibling’s sleepy announcement, and the warm, grounding ritual of homemade meals and familiar comforts. This episode is both a recalling birth story and a love letter to home birth: messy, sacred, unpredictable, and utterly unforgettable.
