#83 | Labor Doesn't Happen to Us, it Happens for Us: Shifting Your Mindset for a Joy-Filled Birth


Listen Later

What happens when you stop fighting labor and start working with your body? 

In today’s episode of the Pain Free Birth Podcast, Karen sits down with Mallory Ryan, a mom of two who shares her deeply transformative birth experiences. Mallory walks listeners through her first unmedicated birth at a birth center and her second, rapid home birth that she describes as joyful, empowering, and profoundly connected to God’s design for birth.

Whether you are pregnant, preparing for birth, or simply curious about physiological birth and faith-filled preparation, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, informed, and inspired to trust your body and God’s design.

Tune in to hear:

  • Why Mallory chose unmedicated birth for both of her babies
  • How learning the physiology of birth helped reduce fear and pain
  • The role mindset and relaxation play in labor intensity
  • Why fast labors are not always more painful
  • How choosing joy impacts oxytocin and birth progress
  • What a “butter birth” is and how surrender changes pushing
  • How faith influenced Mallory’s confidence during labor
  • The difference between pain and suffering in childbirth
  • Why birth is not something happening to you, but within you
  • How empowering births shape confidence in motherhood and postpartum
