Reacting to Hollywood Birth Scenes – The Good, the Bad, and the 🤯

Reacting to Hollywood Birth Scenes – The Good, the Bad, and the 🤯

Author: Liesel Teen December 10, 2025 Duration: 40:44

On this episode of the podcast, I had my sister Jenna come on the show for a fun and light hearted episode that I'm really excited to share with you guys.

Jenna and I watched some birth videos – but not the kind of birth videos that you're thinking of! – and react to them live on the episode.

I thought it'd be interesting coming from me as a labor and delivery nurse and from Jenna, who you know has never been pregnant and doesn't have any kids.

I'm not gonna spoil too much of the episode. It was a lot of fun to record, but was also a big pain in the butt to get ready for, so I hope you guys like it!
