09.How Overcoming Birth Trauma Led a RN to Understand & Trust God's Design for Birth with Aly McClain
Have you ever felt like birth was something to endure rather than embrace? Or maybe fear of the unknown made you outsource every decision to the “experts” without considering what aligns with God’s design?
In today’s episode, I sit down with Aly McClain(host of the Peaceful Homebirth Podcast), a registered nurse whose own journey through birth trauma led her to unlearn mainstream narratives, question the fear-based approach to birth, and rediscover the beauty of God's design. She shares how she moved from total fear and avoidance to confidently choosing home birth, and how this process deepened her faith and understanding of God’s heart for birth and motherhood.
Some things you'll hear us cover in today's episode:
• How birth trauma led Aly to re-evaluate the medical model of birth
• Why fear often causes women to surrender decision-making to providers
• The importance of asking, "What aligns with God's design for birth?"
• How home birth became her default choice (and why she believes all women should consider it first)
• The spiritual and emotional healing that can happen through pregnancy and birth
