It’s just us gals this week! Sarah’s officially on baby watch and unpacks her hospital bag while chatting all things bump, birth, and beyond. Teresa checks in from her vacay, we dive into labour prep, sprinkle in some unexpected tears, and—as always—serve up plenty of lols. It’s cozy, candid, and classic Mother Daze.

Spirit babies, Name Charts & Soul Contracts with Emily the Baby Medium
We’ve got a returning fan fave on the pod this week—none other than the queen of spirit babies herself, Emily the Baby Medium! This time, she’s bringing a whole new vibe: soul-aligned baby names. Yep, Emily’s now reading name charts to help parents find the perfect energetic match for their little one.
In this ep, she dives into our name charts, explores the deeper meaning behind our own names, and gives us the scoop on spirit baby personalities from the other side. It’s woo-woo meets wildly insightful (just how we like it!)

Bumps, Bodily Fluid & Baby Biz Sneaky Peaks
This week on The Mother Daze, we’re two little sickies sniffling our way through the chaos.
There’s some diarrhea (because of course there is), more Slim Shady dreams, Britney dance moves, and all the usual unfiltered real talk. Teresa’s hit the 25-week mark and may have tried to sneak a peek for any signs of baby bits , while Sarah—9 months pregnant and unstoppable—went to a bowling party and annihilated everyone in sight. We’re diving into old wives’ tales about gender predictions based on your hands (yep, apparently that’s a thing), plus a deep spiral into the nesting vortex—baby clothes galore!
It’s messy and wild, as per the norm.

Reclaiming Your Birth, Baby Positions & Big Feelings with Ann Marie Gilligan
Uhhh yep, we’re going there—all things BIRTH with the magical Ann Marie Gilligan, creator of The Gilligan’s Guide to Optimal Birth. From shoulder dystocia and vaginal tearing to home birth transfers, cesareans, and belly mapping—we cover it all. Ann walks us through the body wisdom behind a smoother, more connected birth, including hands-on tools for achieving optimal birthing positioning for our babies in utero. Ann even walks Sarah (who’s in her third trimester) through practical prep! We also revisit our not-so-to-plan first births, share big feels about our upcoming 4th & 5th births, and talk about what it really means to reclaim your power in the birth space. This one’s for anyone healing from a birth or prepping for one—it’s informative, grounded, and full of reminders that you get to own your story.
