Thankfully, Emily made some really good choices during her pregnancy to prioritize childbirth education and hire a birth doula so she wouldn’t be one of those women. She arrived in active labor at a whopping 9cm and was able to get in the tub right away. Now that’s how it’s done! E... | 1h 19m 55s | ||||||

| 4/27/26 | 140: You Should Marry a Husband Who... | This episode is dedicated to my husband, Chris Heeter. He's legitimately the GOAT (and he also taught me what the GOAT meant)! He turned 40 this weekend and I wanted to take the time to celebrate HIM! So this episode is all about how amazing of a husband he is through pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding and fatherhood in general. This episode could have easily been 40 hours long, but I tried to keep it to around 40 minutes or so and just give you the tip of the iceberg. We'll b... | 42m 27s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | 139: A Godly Perspective Leads to a Surrendered Birth [Hospital Birth, C-Section, Postpartum Euphoria] | How do you know you’re pregnant without taking a pregnancy test? How about God simply tells you that you are. That’s the kind of trust and faith that Kayla had with the Lord from the start of her pregnancy, and it would carry her throughout the entire 9 months, from a subchorionic hemorrhage to a last minute change in her birth plan and location, He would carry her. Your perspective on your birth and your choice to surrender holds so much more weight in your experience than whether or not you... | 1h 29m 39s | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | 138: A Birth Advocate In A Hospital Setting Is A Must [First-Time Mom, Hospital Birth, Induction] | Sometimes all it takes is one person’s recommendation and you taking it to change your perspective on everything. That’s what happened to Amelia when she read Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth. So she went on to hire a doula and plan a natural childbirth, but unfortunately, her care providers would bully her into an induction, and one that lasted three days. Between a nasty tooth abscess and root canal a mere few days before she would be induced, to a long induction process, Amelia was exhausted.... | 1h 14m 47s | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | 137: Triumph Over Trauma & the Power of Birth Support - Pt. 2 [Hospital Birth, Natural Birth] | When Kathleen was pregnant for the second time, she was understandably anxious about the impending delivery, but this time, per her therapist’s recommendation, decided to hire a doula and went to a different hospital to deliver, and her journey was redeemed in every way. Postpartum became challenging though, not because of her newborn, but because of her toddler who was recently discovered to be on the spectrum, and figuring out how to juggle the two would be difficult for anybody. But God ha... | 54m 16s | ||||||
| 3/30/26 | 136: Keeping Faith Amidst A Traumatic Birth - Pt. 1 [Hospital Birth, First-Time Mom, Birth Trauma] | When you get sent home from the hospital during your first labor because you're only 1.5cm dilated and told you’re in early labor, it can be quite confusing to know when to come back. Poor Kathleen ended up laboring all alone, all night long, thinking she was just in early labor, then shows up to the hospital the next morning, begging for an epidural, only to find out she was actually fully dilated and ready to push. This all sounded great, until her delivery experience was decided for her fr... | 1h 07m 24s | ||||||
| 3/23/26 | 135: DOULA DIARIES! 2nd Edition [Delayed Cord Clamping, Amnio Infusion, Unplanned Home Birth] | Today we'll dive into three more birth stories from my time as a doula. I'll walk you through what it was like for me to support these moms during their labors. First up is the story of the very first birth I ever attended as a doula in training, and the old school doctor whose routines I found absurd. Next, a long labor of a long gestation pregnancy that could have easily ended in a C-Section had this mama chose an OB for her provider, but thankfully her midwives were trying to keep their C-... | 41m 52s | ||||||
| 3/16/26 | 134: Realizing the Gravity of Becoming A Parent [Natural Birth, Car Baby, Home Birth] | When you're wanting a more holistic birth but decide to go to the hospital with an OB care team, things may not turn out how you envisioned. So for your second birth you hire hospital midwives, thinking that will be better, but then realize they’re not that much better than the OB’s. But then in the midst of your labor, you accidentally have your baby on the side of the road, just you and your husband, and you realize that you never needed the hospital anyways, only God and His angels, so you... | 1h 11m 15s | ||||||
| 3/9/26 | 133: Can Breech Twins Actually Be Delivered Naturally? [Twin Birth, Breech Twins, Natural Birth] | When you’ve only ever given birth outside of the hospital and with midwives…what would it be like to have to birth in the hospital with high risk OB’s? In the state of California, where Breanna lives, midwives are not permitted to deliver twins outside of the hospital setting, and must work alongside an OB. So when Breanna found out she was having twins, she realized she’d be having a different kind of experience than her first two babies who were delivered at a birth center and at home. She ... | 1h 08m 00s | ||||||

| 3/2/26 | 132: Planned Hospital Birth, Accidental Home Birth - Pt. 2 (with Lycie Ross) [Home Birth, Natural Birth] | After having her first two babies in Tennessee, where home birth was more affordable, Lycie and her husband had since moved out to northern California where midwifery was not only way more expensive, but the midwives were also not in line with her faith in Jesus. This led her to feeling obligated to plan a hospital birth, something she never dreamed of doing! But this time around she was committed to surrendering all of her birth plans to God, and she was pleasantly surprised that by putting ... | 59m 25s | ||||||
| 2/23/26 | 131: Reclaiming Motherhood After Postpartum Trauma - Pt. 1 (with Lycie Ross) [Nuchal Hand, Postpartum Complications, Postpartum Depression] | When you grow up with a midwife as your mother, and you and your siblings were all born at home, planning a home birth for your first doesn’t seem strange at all. And it wasn’t for Lycie and her husband. While it was long, all was going well until the midwife realized how badly she had torn, and felt better about sending her to the hospital for her repair. That’s where the trauma started, the moment they called 911. From the EMT staff to the nursing staff to the OB staff, she was met with unp... | 1h 36m 20s | ||||||
| 2/16/26 | 130: So You Had A Home Birth...Now What? (with Kayla Heeter) | So you just had a home birth...what do you do next? If it isn't obvious already, home birth is starkly and vastly different than a hospital or birth center birth. But is it any different immediately following the birth? In today's topical episode, Kayla discusses the following topics regarding home birth: - What to do when the birth is over - The legality of home birth (Is home birth legal?) - Providing proof of pregnancy - Processes for getting birth certificates and social security ca... | 33m 14s | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | 129: God Will Meet You In The Mess (with Karyn Dunavant) [Free Birth, Home Birth, Precipitous Labor] | The twists and turns that can take place in our lives as God leads us from one season to another are astounding. From leaving religious cults, and trying to find healing through other churches that then turn around and treat you similarly, even though they’re supposed to be different, that in and of itself is incredibly difficult, especially as you’re trying to seek a deeper relationship with the Lord, but add several pregnancies and children into the mix, and the emotions just get deeper.

The message here is that God is good, His plans are better than ours, and that we’re able to more fully realize His goodness and mercies when things don’t go according to our original plans. Join us today as we hear Bess’ story of becoming a mother, thro... | 1h 27m 26s | ||||||
| 1/26/26 | 127: Is Vaginal Birth Possible After 5 C-Sections? (with Amanda Kairdolf) [Hospital Birth, VBAC, Wild Pregnancy] | What do you do when God is telling you one thing, but the doctors and medical system are telling you the opposite? This is a theme that came up for Amanda from before she got pregnant all the way through the births of her six children. The lesson? God’s word trumps man’s word every single time! Listen to this incredible story of fear conquered by faith as Amanda miraculously has her first vaginal birth after five previous C-Sections. Thought that was impossible? Think again! Send us a text!

| 1/19/26 | 126: Choosing Worship Over Worry (with Nikki Ellwood) [Home Birth, Retained Placenta, Shoulder Dystocia] | When you have a 56 hour labor, that results in a transfer from home to hospital, you would assume all of the trauma from your birth experience is wrapped up in that, right? Not for Nikki, her trauma came about during early postpartum with everything from an IGT diagnosis, to an aspirating baby to an undiagnosed retained placenta that led to a hemorrhage at three and a half weeks postpartum. After all of that, it would take some time and healing before attempting to birth again, and then when ... | 1h 31m 49s | ||||||

In this first birth, you'll learn that I was young and ignorant to all things birth. I had a lot to learn, but God led the way!

Well, for Ashleigh, it was basically the exact opposite of that! During her second labor she experiences two days of a start/stop early labor and doesn’t know when it will ever actually kick into gear-but when it does, she had less than an hour’s notice before she’d be holding her baby in her arms!
