Each week on Lo & Behold, we’re leaning into that real, messy, necessary question as we navigate all the choices you’ll find yourself making in pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and modern motherhood.
Hosted by Lo Mansfield — former labor and postpartum nurse, certified lactation counselor, mom and RN behind The Labor Mama, and real life mama of four — this show is your judgment-free space to explore all the options in front of you. Whether you’re navigating a birth plan, wondering about labor induction methods, worried about breastfeeding challenges, or figuring out how to advocate for yourself or your baby, you’re not alone here.
On Lo & Behold, we’re cutting through the noise of the motherhood space and ditching the black-and-white takes. Each episode, Lo brings her years of experience in maternity care, lactation support, and real-life motherhood straight to your earbuds — through candid insights from her own successes and mistakes, expert interviews, and other real mom and dad story shares you’ll actually relate to.
Each week, you’ll find relatable, honest stories and reflections that help you make intuition-led, evidence-informed decisions in your own birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and motherhood stories — with zero shame and zero slant. Because your best story is the one that feels right to you — and no one else gets to tell you what that is.
If you’re craving confidence, clarity, friendship, and a space that says “you get to choose” and “I trust you,” this podcast is for you.
So whether you’re pregnant with your first baby, planning a hospital birth, or knee-deep in the chaos of raising babies and toddlers, grab your coffee, your electrolytes, or your raspberry leaf tea, hit play, and let’s chase down your best story — together.

Listen in as Lo gets vulnerable and raw as she shares her own first birth story. Our birth stories may not tell us who we are, but for so many of us, they are the very beginning of the motherhood story we are writing.

The truth is, I have a lot of things to say - but I also know that getting raw and real with other people's honest or expert stories too? That's where the good stuff is. Stick around and learn, laugh, cry (I do, anyway), and snag that precious "me too."
And as a forever reminder? Don't forget to learn to trust your own voice too. Sure, I think I can help. But you know more than you're giving yourself credit for -- and your voice matters the most.
I know your time is precious. I can just see you, headphone in one ear, baby in the sling, hands in the soapy water, still trying to listen, learn, and hear someone say. "hey, me too." I'm with you mama. Thanks for hanging out with me.
