A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This has been one incredible journey! As a health care provider, I could not be more grateful for such a REAL and HONEST podcast relating to pregnancy, birth, and all things postpartum. Dr. Cantu is incredibly talented when it comes to hosting interviews and she has attracted the wisdom and storytelling of some of the world’s most precious birth workers, mamas, and their families 💚 Could not be more grateful for a more informative (and entertaining!!) resource to share with patients that are thinking about conceiving, are awaiting the arrival of their little ones, or are curious to know about their birth options. Lindsey has also been sharing about what AUTONOMY looks like in pregnancy, birth and parenthood - this is GOLD!

The BIRTHFIT Movement will not stop. This is such a real, practical podcast that tackles subjects for the modern woman. It’s so refreshing to hear an organization use the words “mother” and “woman” and not shy away from the truth and tough convos. These women rock AND want to show up for their families. So cool!

GigEmLindsey · Feb 2024

I am already a huge fan of this podcast after just finding out about this movement recently. In my practice, I prioritize facilitating optimal health for pregnant women (from fertility struggles to postpartum care) and infants. Everyone comes into this world through the body of their mom, so this is a vital resource. I’m eager to listen to more, and I’m also excited to point my patients In the direction of the many resources Birthfit provides. One conversation with a main staff member (Leah) informed me about the great compassion and support this awesome community provides for the moms and families out there. While I’m a chiropractor and know Lindsay is also one, this applies to any birthworker out there, or really any person who wants to know how to support or advocate for the health of a pregnant woman in your life. Listen in!
