đź’¬ Episode Summary
This is your warm, wild, and grounded welcome to the Central Florida Birth Podcast—your new favorite way to meet the faces, voices, and hearts behind the birth community in Central Florida.
In this inaugural episode, co-hosts Ana Muñoz and Nicolle Maldonado introduce the vision behind the podcast, the people it’s meant to serve (psst… that’s you), and the radical idea that peace on Earth begins at birth.
We’re here to stir the pot, ask real questions, share resources, and open space for all bodies to feel seen, supported, and connected—whether you're nursing a newborn, attending your 50th birth, or just curious about what it means to birth differently.
Oh, and yes—this episode ends with bloopers. Because we’re real like that.
What to expect from the podcast: interviews with providers, birthworkers, families, and community changemakers
How the Central Florida Birth Network is creating space for connection and education
Why this isn’t just for families—it’s for the providers, too
Our rebellion against “just Google it” and our devotion to local, heart-led care
Bloopers, laughter, and a little behind-the-scenes chaos
