Doulas, Diapers & Mayhem

Welcome to The HILL OF BEANS Podcast Hosted by Ezra Hill

 First-time parents, doulas, and brave souls share the beautiful, brutal, and sometimes hilarious realities of starting a family — whether through childbirth or adoption.

Hosted by Ezra Hill, this show dives headfirst into the wild world of baby prep, birth plans gone sideways, emotional adoption journeys, and all the messy moments in between.

This week’s guest: Sara Janisse Brown, and Lauren Ashby

 

It's raw, real, and always a little ridiculous.Adoptive parents sharing the highs, heartbreaks, and humor of building family their way.
Doulas with behind-the-scenes stories from the birthing room — and the snack bag essentials no one talks about.

Whether you’re pushing, pacing, or paper-signing your way into parenthood, this podcast is for you. We celebrate every path, every meltdown, and every tiny win — with laughter, love, and maybe a glass of wine once the baby's down.

Birth or adoption, it's still a wild ride. Buckle up — and bring wipes.
