I’m joined by Elle Klink, a first-time mom, a chiropractor, and a woman who knew from the start that homebirth was the path for her. You’ll hear how she labored while still seeing patients, how her birth unfolded in such a straightforward and peaceful way, and why she’s already dreaming of doing it all over again. Elle’s story is a beautiful reminder that when we partner with our bodies and with God’s design, birth doesn’t have to be scary...it can be joyful.

Today, I’m joined once again by the incredible Madeline Marlatt—and if you’ve heard our past conversations, you know it’s always a deep, spirit-led ride. In this episode, we open up about our philosophy of birth: why we believe birth is not just physical, but spiritual… not just medical, but miraculous.

We talk about the way God designed women, the importance of radical responsibility, and the deeper purpose woven into the birthing process.

And—BIG NEWS—we’re officially announcing something we’ve been dreaming into reality: our in-person retreat in Florida this September! It’s going to be a sacred space for women who are ready to walk in truth, community, and boldness in their birth journeys.

If your heart is leaping right now—you’re not alone. This is going to be something really special.

Today’s episode is such a beautiful testament to both the power of birth and the faithfulness of God—even when things don’t go as expected. I’m sitting down with Jess Hodge, a stay-at-home mama with a heart for motherhood, nutrition, and whole-family wellness. After having three hospital births, Jess chose to trust her instincts and plan a homebirth for her fourth baby.

And the birth? It was everything she hoped for—simple, straightforward, and Spirit-led. But just four days later, Jess found herself in the ER with extreme pain, leading to a diagnosis I had never heard of getting this severe postpartum. What followed was months of not being able to walk, relying on others for everything—yet somehow, she still calls this her best postpartum experience yet.

Her story is such a clear picture of Romans 8:28—God truly works all things together for good, even in the unexpected.

If you're listening and you’re that first-time homebirth mama, feeling called by God to birth at home but knowing deep down that you want more than just a checklist and a course—Jess’s story is a reminder that mindset, heartset, and support matter. That’s exactly why I created the Peaceful Homebirth Collective.

It’s not your typical birth course. It’s a Christ-centered group coaching program where we go deep. You’ll get access to the core course plus training videos, weekly live calls—including workshops, a couple’s call, and expert Q&As—and a space where you can ask me and the community anything along the way.

If you want to feel grounded in truth, confident in your body, and completely supported—spiritually, emotionally, and practically—as you prepare for your dream homebirth! Apply today for PHC!

Now let’s dive into Jess’s story. I think it’s going to bless you.

Today’s episode is a powerful testimony of transformation, healing, and freedom in Christ. I’m joined by a former New Ager who used to work closely with Freebirth Society. She taught yoga, embraced spiritual practices that many see as “empowering”—but behind it all, she was unknowingly caught in deep spiritual deception.

Nya is a Christian, a wife, and a freebirthing stay at home mother who has built a successful business with her Instagram platform, sharing information with other women about birthing at home, medical freedom, and leaving the New Age occult to follow Jesus.

In this conversation, she shares how she encountered Jesus in a way that completely changed everything. She opens up about her personal journey out of witchy birth work, what really happens behind the scenes at gatherings like the Matriarch Rising Festival, and the demonic activity she began to recognize once her eyes were opened.

We also dive into her beautiful freebirth stories—what shifted in her approach to birth after leaving the New Age, and how surrendering to Jesus has brought more peace, clarity, and true empowerment than any ritual or affirmation ever could.

If you’ve ever felt a stirring in your spirit around the “spiritual but not Biblical” side of birth work, or if you’ve been searching for truth in this space—this episode will speak directly to you.

Join us in September in FL for a Homebirth Retreat!

“I want the glory back!” — Those were the powerful words the Lord spoke over Madeline after her first homebirth, commissioning her to start an online ministry to show pregnant women how deeply God is involved in every detail of childbearing.

In this episode, Madeline shares her beautiful homebirth story with her first baby, opens up about the anxiety she faced during pregnancy, and gives a powerful testimony of how the Lord revealed Himself to her every step of the way.

What does it really mean when Paul says a woman will be “saved through childbearing”? And how should Christian women view labor, pain, and the so-called "curse of Eve"?

In this deeply encouraging episode, I’m joined by Phylicia Masonheimer—founder of Every Woman a Theologian and host of the Verity podcast. Together, we dive into the theology of birth, the spiritual significance of labor, and how surrender and trust play a powerful role in a peaceful homebirth.

We talk through Phylicia’s own birth stories, the beauty of holding our birth plans with open hands, and how to walk in peace, not fear—even when the unknowns of birth feel overwhelming.

If you’re a first-time mom feeling called to homebirth, but wondering how to prepare your heart and faith… this one’s for you.

My OBGYN told me: “your pelvis is too small, you’ll always have to have a C section.”

I told her: That isn’t going to be my future birth story.

Now, 9 years later, I’ve had 3 blissful homebirths, all WITHOUT a scalpel knife coming anywhere near my pregnant belly.

In today’s episode I’m going to share how I burned the advice my OBGYN gave me to the ground & went on to birth my babies in the comfort of my own home despite being told my “pelvis is too small.”

Today, I have an incredible guest joining me for a second time—someone who has been a true pioneer in the world of birth, especially when it comes to breech birth and challenging the status quo of modern obstetrics.

Dr. Stuart Fischbein is an OBGYN with nearly 40 years of experience, specializing in supporting women who choose to birth outside the hospital system. He’s co-host of the Birthing Instincts Podcast with homebirth midwife Blyss, and he’s dedicated his career to helping women reclaim their autonomy in birth. He’s was also here just a couple weekends ago in person, for the Reteach Breech Workshop—which we’ll talk about later in the episode!

But first, we’re going to kick things off by talking about the predicament doctors are in that prevents them from learning skills like breech birth, his story on how he was pulled into the Homebirth world and the problem with Stage 1 thinking and why this is the only way the Medical system thinks. Dr. Stu has seen it all, and I can’t wait for you to hear his perspective.

We’ll also be diving into:
