September 08, 2025 107: The Contrast Between A Medicated Birth & A Natural Birth (with Emma Gowan) [Epidural Gone Wrong, Painless Childbirth, Prayer In Birth]
For your first birth, you end up having an elective induction that goes relatively smoothly with a very strong epidural and no major complications, other than a huge headache that was able to be resolved, albeit in a strange manner. Why then, would you choose to do it differently the next time? For Emma, she was blessed to be able to experience a pain-free natural birth with her second delivery when she chose to go to a different location for her birth. Listen today to hear why she chose to go natural for round two, and why she’d do it ten million more times!

September 01, 2025 106: Supernatural Childbirth and Allowing God To Lead Your Birth (with Ariana Ganz) [Painless Childbirth, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Prayer In Birth]
The Lord is always speaking…if only we will listen. As Ariana took the journey of having five kids in eight years, God taught her so many incredibly valuable lessons. By the time she had her fourth, His voice was so clear and her trust in Him was so strong that He gave her the birth she never even knew she wanted. But He knew. Just because we’re obedient to God in one season though, doesn’t make it easy when He tells us to do something we didn’t expect in another. Hear how Ariana’s latest birth unfolded…and I’ll give you a hint, it wasn’t anything like her others!

August 25, 2025 105: Introducing...DOULA DIARIES! 1st Edition [C-Section, Hospital Birth, Unnecessary Episiotomy]
Listen in as I share three different stories from my time as a doula, starting all the way back to my first year over a decade ago. Today you’ll hear how I had the honor of being the eyes in the room for a blind mother as she met her baby for the first time, how I had two first time mom clients go into labor at the same time, and at the same hospital, but who ended up having two very different experiences. And lastly, how I had to literally save a mom from having a completely unnecessary episiotomy.

August 18, 2025 104: Show Me Your Friends And I'll Show You Your Birth (with Christine Hollis) [Precipitous Labor, Hospital Birth, Birth Support]
Have you ever tried to do something alone, when you knew God designed you to do it in community? Christine was looking for like-minded friends during her third pregnancy that she could be in deep relationship with, and God answered her prayers. So much so, He even gave her a doula through one of those friends, and thank Him that He did, for she was the calming presence Christine would need during her overwhelmingly fast, precipitous birth. She’s already said after this experience she would definitely have a home birth next time!

August 11, 2025 103: How The Misery of HG Turned Into A Testimony of God's Love (with Allie Bathalon) [Hyperemesis Gravidarum, Home Birth, Faith Crisis]
When you've been trying to conceive for months, and then you finally do, you think you’d be grateful for every part of pregnancy. But that’s rarely the case for a mom with Hyperemisis Gravardarium, also known as HG. When HG hit hard for Alexandria, not only did she lose a massive amount of weight in a short amount of time, but she lost her faith too. If God was a good God, why didn’t He take this thorn from her side? To top it all off as she prayed for a girl but she found out it was a boy, she felt forgotten and abandoned altogether. To her, and to many HG moms out there, how could this possibly be worth it? How could feeling like you were on your death bed every single day for months on end be worth it? Listen today to find out how God redeemed Allie’s story and reignited her faith through the beautiful home birth she had been dreaming of and praying for! And how this story was better than the one she would have written for herself.

August 04, 2025 102: The Incredible 1-Hour Labor (with Erin Hamrick) [Precipitous Labor, IGT, Accidental Free Birth]
When your first labor is faster than lightning, what can you expect for your second? Well, apparently the same! Erin goes against the norm with her birth stories as you’ll hear today. She only full realized she was in labor for about fifteen minutes before she was holding her baby in her arms. She was physically alone, other than her toddler who was right next to her, but God had fully prepared her for this situation and was right there alongside her. And thankfully, help was right outside, not that she needed it. Hear how God weaved Erin’s birth story together in this unlikely series of events!

July 28, 2025 101: Trusting That God Is Writing Your Story (with Mary Kathryn Long) [Postpartum Hemorrhage, Postpartum Depression, Miscarriage]
We’re told first labors can be long, and on average, the first labor left undisturbed is roughly 25 hours long, but can you mentally prepare yourself for a 70 hour labor? That was Mary Kathryn’s experience, and I know it’s been the experience of many other first time moms out there. Making sure you have a solid care team around you from your husband to your doula to your midwife can make such a huge difference in your experiences as Mary Kathryn found out in her second and third labors (that thankfully were NOT 70 hours long). Join us today as she recounts her three birth stories, and the little answered prayers God gave her and her husband along the way!

July 14, 2025 099: Holding Fast To The Holy Spirit When Nothing Goes According to Plan (with Cre'Elle Campa) [Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, EDS Pregnancy, Emergency C-Section]
When you’re told you need to be done having kids by the time you're 25, that can feel like a lot of pressure, especially when you haven’t even gotten married yet, but trusting God and His plans always surpasses trusting in the world. On top of that, when your experience in pregnancy and birth doesn’t go anything like you had planned, prepared for, hoped or prayed for, it can seem like your world is toppling, but perspective makes a huge difference in how we interpret what plays out in pregnancy and birth. Listen to CreElle as she explains how God had a different plan that she did, and how the Holy Spirit led the way.

July 07, 2025 098: Unexpected Turns and Unshakable Faith (with Matalin Russell) [Honeymoon Baby, Natural Birth, Birth Center to Hospital]
Not many couples these days aim to get pregnant as soon as possible after marriage, but Matalin and Shane aren’t your average couple. With the understanding that children are blessings from God and wanting to have many of them, they were blessed to conceive on their honeymoon and start their family immediately. While that part of their plan worked out, the birth is a slightly different story. Be inspired by Mattie’s perseverance through some hard curveballs in labor, and how, despite things being changed on her last minute, she and her husband were able to push through and have the natural birth that they desired!
