Episode 31 - Season 4: The First Call with an Expectant Mom

That first call with an expectant Mom can hold so much anticipation - and a lot of emotion. In this episode, Annie & Caitlin walk through how to prepare for the conversation, what questions to ask (and what to avoid), and how to create a safe, genuine space for connection.

They offer language, mindset shifts, and real examples of how to lead with empathy and humility, rather than pressure or perfection. Whether it's your first call or you've had several, this episode helps families understand how trust is built from the very first conversation - one small, thoughtful step at a time.
