Jen Freaking Hamilton is on the podcast!! 🎉
With more than 6 MILLION followers across social media, a #1 New York Times bestselling book (Birth Vibes), and 15 years of nursing experience, Jen Hamilton has become one of the most influential voices in birth education.
And she's joining us for a conversation that every pelvic PT and OT who works with pregnant patients needs to hear.
Because here's the uncomfortable question: Are we sometimes setting our patients up for disappointment with the way we teach birth prep?
We talk about:
🤰 When birth plans backfire — How rigid expectations around pushing, positioning, and interventions can leave patients feeling like they've failed when birth doesn't go according to plan.
💪 The truth about pushing positions — Why there's no single "right" way to give birth, and what Jen wishes pelvic rehab providers understood about the realities of the delivery room.
🧠 Are we overcomplicating birth prep? — Why giving patients a giant checklist of techniques and positions might actually make things harder when labor gets intense.
❤️ Trust isn't automatic. It's earned. — Jen's incredible approach to helping patients feel safe, heard, and empowered—even when they're initially distrustful of their medical team.
🤝 Doulas, advocacy, and informed consent — How to help patients advocate for themselves without creating an adversarial relationship with their birth team.
🚨 When emergencies happen — What compassionate communication looks like when every second counts.
📖 The philosophy behind Birth Vibes — Why Jen wants patients to prepare for how they want to experience birth, not just exactly how they want it to happen.
Nicole also shares her own birth experience—and how even nearly 20 years as a pelvic PT didn't prepare her for everything that happened in the delivery room.
The big takeaway? Our job isn't to prepare patients for one perfect version of birth. It's to help them feel confident, informed, and supported no matter how their birth unfolds.
This one might challenge some of what you've been teaching. And that's exactly why we wanted to have this conversation!
