Juggling Humor, Heart, and Hard Truths: Labor Nurse Tina on Birth Work and Resilience

EPISODE 9: Real Talk with Mama Nurse Tina — Birth, Humor, and Honest Education

In this episode, I sat down with Mama Nurse Tina—a labor and delivery nurse, educator, and mama of four—to talk about what it’s really like behind the scenes in birth work. Tina brings her wisdom, heart, and humor to the table, and we laughed plenty while also getting real about the challenges and rewards of this work.

We talked about:

• 
  

  Why she moved from emergency nursing to labor and delivery

  
  


• 
  

  Supporting families after loss and the moments that stick forever

  
  


• 
  

  Birth deserts, education gaps, and why online teaching matters

  
  


• 
  

  Nurses, doulas, midwives, and OBs, why collaboration is everything

  
  


• 
  

  The balance of being real online while staying sensitive to people’s stories

  
  

Tina shared how she wants people to feel informed, not judged, and why childbirth education can be the key to asking better questions and making empowered choices. Together, we dreamed about what true teamwork in birth care could look like.

If you want honesty, a few laughs, and practical wisdom you can carry with you, this episode is for you.
