About Positive Birth Corner

This podcast is for you to feel inspired, informed, and encouraged. Our goal is simple but powerful: changing the narrative around birth one positive birth story at a time. Positive Birth Corner is a space where real stories that shift the spotlight from the negativity surrounding birth to conversation that highlight the power, resilience, and beauty that can exist in every birth! Through honest, empowering conversations with first-time parents and birth workers highlighting black and multicultural communities, we amplify birth stories that are often erased stories rooted in planning, informed choice, cultural connection, and joy. This is not a trauma podcast it’s a space for reclaiming power, celebrating resilience, and making birth visible in its fullness. Each week, we sit down with birthing people, partners, and professionals to share honest, uplifting accounts of birth experiences that highlight strength over fear, connection over chaos, and trust over trauma. These stories don’t ignore the challenges but they do offer a different lens, one that celebrates how people navigate those challenges with grace, support, and trust. Whether it’s a home birth, hospital delivery, cesarean, induction, or anything in between, Positive Birth Corner is here to remind you: birth is not one-size-fits-all, and a positive experience doesn’t mean a perfect one. It means feeling seen, heard, and supported. It means reclaiming your story. Pull up a chair, lean in, and listen to what good birthing experiences really sound like.

   A Birth That Felt Different: Nada Welcomes Baby #2

   In this special episode of Positive Birth Corner, we welcome back Nada for an intimate conversation about her second birth experience and the journey of growing her family. Now a mom of two and four months postpartum, Nada shares how this pregnancy felt different from her first, the importance of taking things at her own pace, and how working with her doula again helped her feel prepared and supported. From navigating pregnancy-related challenges and advocating for herself at the hospital to experiencing the relief of an epidural and welcoming baby Selma into the world, Nada reflects on a birth that was a very different experience from her first. With the help of a compassionate midwife, a supportive nursing team, and her husband James, she felt heard, cared for, and empowered throughout her delivery. We also discuss the realities of postpartum recovery, including hiring a postpartum doula, accepting help with meals and childcare, preparing essentials ahead of time, and making space for the emotional transition from one child to two. As a registered dietitian and professionally trained chef, Nada also shares her perspective on nutrition, the barriers that can make self-care difficult, and the importance of culturally inclusive care. For Nada, a positive birth experience means having a supportive healthcare team, people who can step in when you need help, and the space to rest and recover. Her story is a beautiful reminder that support can make all the difference—and every family deserves access to compassionate care. www.positivebirthcorner.com (http://www.positivebirthcorner.com) 👩🏾🍼 Ready to plan and prepare for your birth with confidence?

   What Trusting Your Gut Looks Like: Mahalia's Powerful Birth Story

   In this episode, Mahalia shares the story of her third birth and how finding a supportive midwife and having two doulas by her side helped shape her experience. From navigating past experiences with providers to trusting her instincts, listening to worship music during intense contractions, and following her body’s lead during a remarkably quick labor, Mahalia reminds us of the power of preparation, faith, and having the right people in your corner. We also talk about planning for postpartum, accepting help with meals and household responsibilities, connecting with other mothers, and finding support through in-person and virtual communities. For Mahalia, a positive birth means feeling secure, confident, and supported—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

   How to Expect the Unexpected When Birth Doesn’t Go as Planned! Mora & Jordan's 2nd Birth

   In this episode of the Positive Birth Corner Podcast, we’re kicking off Season 2 with a beautiful birth story centered on trust, preparation, and joy. MaryNissi sits down with returning guests Mora and Jordan to hear the story of welcoming their second baby—a planned home birth that unfolded much faster than expected. From choosing a midwife and building a birth team to practicing comfort measures throughout their home, Mora shares how her first positive birth experience gave her the confidence to approach her second birth differently and make choices that truly felt right for her family. But this story also reminds us that a positive birth doesn’t mean everything goes exactly according to plan. When an unexpected emergency happened during the birth, Mora’s trusted birth team responded quickly and skillfully, allowing her to remain grounded in the people caring for her. They also talk about postpartum, the power of letting go of perfection, accepting help, and intentionally building a village. At its heart, this episode is a reminder that positive birth can look different for everyone—and that feeling informed, supported, and able to trust your birth team can make all the difference. www.positivebirthcorner.com
