Being A Good Human & Birth Vibes with Jen Hamilton

If there were ever a masterclass in being a good human… this is it. In this episode, Penn and I sit down with Jen Hamilton and y’all… She is exactly who you hope she is. Warm, hilarious, wildly honest, and the kind of person who makes you want to be better just by being in the same room. We talk about her new book Birth Vibes and cover what really happens in a delivery room. Jen has a gift of making the most awkward, messy, human moments feel normal, safe, and… dare we say, funny. But what makes Jen extraordinary isn’t just what she knows—it’s how she shows up. From supporting families in their most vulnerable moments to turning compassion into action through her nonprofit work, she reminds us that kindness is something we do. (Like turning internet negativity into real-world good by raising money, helping strangers, and building communities that show up for each other.) We also play “Did Jen Swaddle It” and discuss what’s on our minds right now… like missing the chaos of Maycember. We hope this episode makes you laugh and inspires you to be a better human like it did for us. We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at [email protected].
