In this episode, I'm joined by Lauren Murdock, a labor and delivery nurse with over 10 years of experience, childbirth educator, and the creator of the Rooted Birth Method. Lauren brings both professional wisdom and deeply personal experience as she shares her own journey with infertility and miscarriage.

We dive into the unique grief that comes with being a nurse supporting families through stillbirth and what it looks like to walk with God through pregnancy after loss. We talk about faith, surrender, and what it means to create a birth plan that includes your grief, your baby, and your hope.

Lauren’s story is tender and powerful. She opens up about the pain of miscarriage after years of infertility, her faith journey, and how she now equips women to walk into their births with peace and preparation—even when they’re holding grief too.

If you're facing another pregnancy after loss, or you're terrified to even consider it, this conversation is for you.
