In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Debra Pascali-Bonaro is joined by Nina Spears, founder of Baby Chick, to explore why so many families spend hundreds of hours planning weddings\u2014but only a fraction of that preparing for birth and postpartum.  Together, they dive into what&amp;nbsp;actually&amp;nbsp;creates a positive, empowered, and even pleasurable birth experience\u2014and why preparation, support, and informed choices are everything.  Nina shares insights from supporting over 800 families and attending 350+ births, along with her own deeply personal birth experiences, including how knowledge shaped her decisions and outcomes.  This episode is a call to rethink how we prepare for one of life\u2019s most transformative experiences.
