About this episode
No one tells you what birth actually feels like — until it’s happening to you.Riley Gaines shares her raw birth story, the instincts that overrode expert advice, and how motherhood reshaped her body, faith, and purpose. We talk about modern birth, sleep deprivation, pressure to “bounce back,” and the truths new moms aren’t warned about — in a culture that over-medicalizes something women were designed to do.Thank you to our sponsors!GEVITI: Use code "ALEX" to get 20% off your first purchasePALEOVALLEY: Use code "ALEX" for 15% off your first orderVANDY CRISPS: Use code "ALEXCLARK" for 25% offCROWDHEALTH: Use code “CULTURE” to get your first three months for only $99/monthZEBRA: Use code "ALEX" for 10% off any orderOur Guest:Riley GainesRiley's Links:InstagramXTikTokWebsite?
