FOR EXPECTING & NEW BIRTH FATHERS
Nobody Hands Partners a Plan, So We Built This
You're expected to show up for the biggest day of your life with zero training — and figure the rest out in real time, while it's happening, while everyone's exhausted and scared and counting on you.
The Prepared Partner is the plan nobody gave you: 8 modules covering labor support, advocacy, the first hours postpartum, and the weeks after that nobody warns you about. Built by a doula and the partner who lived it.
ENROLL TODAYYou don't have to wonder if you'll be ready. Walk through this with us once, and when the moment comes, you'll know what to do.
I'VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE
Â
I was in the room. I still felt useless half the time...
I read the books. I went to the classes. I thought I was ready.
Then we were actually in it, and everything I'd learned felt like theory. Nobody told me what to do when she was in pain, how to advocate without getting in the way, or what was actually normal. Most of the time, I just hoped I looked calm.
Getting home was the hardest part. The exhaustion, the constant second-guessing, and the strain on our relationship hit harder than the birth itself.
If you're getting ready for this now, you'll probably hit the same wall—not because you're unprepared, but because nobody's told you what your role actually looks like in the delivery room or those first weeks at home.
That's the gap. That's what this fixes.
Now imagine walking in with a compass instead of  guessing...
Â
Picture this: she's in labor, the nurse says something you don't fully catch, and instead of freezing, you know what to ask. You know what's normal, when to speak up, and when she simply needs you beside her.
Then you get home. The exhaustion hits, emotions are running high, and the questions start piling up. Instead of feeling blindsided, you recognize what's happening, know what's normal, and know how to support her through it.
That's the goal. Not a script—because birth and postpartum rarely go exactly to plan—but a compass that gives you confidence in the moments that matter most, so you can show up as the partner she needs every step of the way.
An 8-module, self-paced course built specifically for birth partners — not the birthing parent. You.
Each module walks you through a different piece of being the partner she needs: how to support labor without getting in the way, when to speak up and advocate, what those first hours after birth really look like, and how to handle postpartum once the visitors leave and it's just the two of you figuring it out.Â
The result isn't a script. It's confidence. You'll walk in knowing your role, knowing what to expect, and knowing how to show up — for the birth, and for the weeks after it that nobody prepares you for.

ENROLL TODAYTHE OUTCOME
By The End Of This Course, You'll Be Able To:
➔ Walk into the birth room knowing exactly what your role is, not guessing, not freezing, not waiting for someone to tell you what to do.
➔ Speak up with confidence when it matters, communicate clearly with nurses and doctors, ask the right questions, and advocate for her without second-guessing yourself.
➔ Handle the first hours after birth like you've done it before even though you haven't, because you'll already know what's coming.
➔ Show up as the partner she can actually rely on — calm, prepared, and present, even when things get hard. Especially when things get hard.
➔ Stay steady when the birth doesn't go to plan because you'll have already walked through inductions, epidurals, unmedicated labor, and cesareans, so nothing catches you off guard.
➔ Recognize what's normal in those first postpartum weeks and what's not so you're not lying awake wondering if something's wrong.
What's Inside The Course
8 self-paced video modules. Watch on your own time, in any order, as many times as you need. Each one is short enough to fit into a real life with a pregnant partner and a to-do list — no fluff, no filler.
SELF-PACED COURSE
Watch one a night, binge in a weekend, or jump straight to the module you need most. Built to flex around your life.
4 BIRTH GUIDES
Editable, printable guides for induction, planned epidural, unmedicated labor, and cesarean. Bring the right one with you and share it with your care team.
MODULE WORKSHEETS
Guided worksheets to work through with your partner before the big day, so you're on the same page about what matters to her — and why.
LIFETIME ACCESS
Revisit any module whenever you need it — during pregnancy, the night before, or even after the baby's here.
 This Is For You IfÂ
➔ You're a birth partner who wants to know your role before the day comes, not figure it out in the moment.
➔ You've read the books and taken the classes, but still feel like nobody told you what you're actually supposed to do.
➔ You want to support her through labor and advocate for her without freezing up or getting in the way.
➔ You know postpartum is coming and you'd rather be ready for it than blindsided by it.

Joshua Swanson is a husband, dad, and birth partner who knows what it feels like to want to do this right — without being handed a medical textbook.
After supporting his wife through birth and postpartum, Josh became passionate about helping other partners feel prepared without the pressure. He focuses on practical tools, real-life language, and calm presence over perfection. Josh believes the best birth support doesn't come from knowing everything — it comes from caring deeply and being willing to show up.
Lauren Swanson is a birth and postpartum doula who has supported families through every kind of birth — induced, unmedicated, epidural, and cesarean — and has seen firsthand what separates a partner who freezes from one who shows up. The Prepared Partner was born out of her own delivery room experience, watching Josh want so badly to help and not always knowing how.
Together, they built the course they wish someone had handed Josh before their first birth — practical, honest, and built by people who've actually been in the room.
You already know this matters. You wouldn't have read this far if you didn't.

Here's the part that makes "later" risky: you don't get a heads-up before labor starts. There's no warning week, no chance to cram the night before if you've been putting it off. The version of you that walks into that room is whatever version you've prepared between now and then.
And postpartum doesn't wait for you to feel ready either. The exhaustion, the unfamiliar territory, the pressure on your relationship — that starts the moment you're home, whether you've thought it through or not.
This isn't a course you can speed-run in labor and delivery. It's something you walk through before, so that when the moment actually comes, you're not improvising. You're just doing what you already know how to do.
You have time right now. That's the whole advantage. Use it.
Investment Details
That's less than a single hour with most birth doulas, for a course you'll have access to for as long as you need it, through this pregnancy and every one after.
Enroll above and you're in immediately — no waitlist, no scheduling a call first. You'll get instant access to the full course through Kajabi, and you can start with Module 1 tonight if you want to.
You've Got This. Let's Make Sure You're Ready For It.
You landed here because part of you already knows you want to show up differently—prepared, steady, and present instead of hoping you'll figure it out in the moment. That's exactly what this course is for.
In just a few hours, you'll walk into birth knowing your role, how to support her, and what to do when things don't go as planned. And when you're home with your baby, you won't be caught off guard by the parts no one talks about—you'll already know what's coming and how to show up through it.
