You're smiling, but you're not okay. You're snapping at your kids, second-guessing every decision, and feeling disconnected from your body and your faith. What if I told you that your birth trauma isn't just in your mind, but it's stored in your nervous system?

In this episode, we're talking about the very real fear that keeps so many moms from facing their birth trauma, why avoidance makes perfect sense (but is costing you more than you realize), and how healing at the body level can transform not just your relationship with your birth story, but your entire life.

Many women feel trapped in their own bodies, through disordered eating, anxiety, or unresolved birth trauma, but few realize these struggles often share the same root.

In this episode, Brigid opens up about her personal journey, connecting years of anorexia and binge-purge cycles with the impact of birth trauma. She shares how both experiences are tied to a deep loss of control, a nervous system that feels unsafe, and the challenge of learning to trust your body again.

You’ll discover:

Why disordered eating and birth trauma often stem from the same underlying issues.

How healing begins when you uncover the root cause instead of just “fixing behaviors.”

Why rebuilding trust with your body is a lifelong practice, not a one-time fix.

How faith and surrender can guide your body back to safety, peace, and freedom.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or like you’ll never fully trust yourself again, this episode will help you start rebuilding that trust, step by step, day by day.

In this conversation, Brigid sits down with Dr. Stu, an obstetrician who left the conventional system after decades inside it to reveal what’s really going on behind hospital doors.

Dr. Stu shares how his journey from a “medicalized OB” to a home birth advocate began with one simple realization: women’s bodies are not broken, but the system is. Together, he and Brigid expose the financial incentives driving unnecessary interventions, the spiritual and emotional cost of birth trauma, and why empowering mothers (and fathers) with truth changes everything.

They also discuss:

Why hospital birth has become a business, not a calling

The real reason C-section and induction rates keep rising

How birth trauma happens even in “successful” births

The lost art of breech and twin deliveries and why it matters

What every woman should ask her doctor before signing anything

The sacred role of fathers in the birth space

How to discern truth, find freedom, and trust God’s design for birth

This conversation will leave you questioning everything you’ve been told about “safe” birth and ready to reclaim it as the sacred, powerful experience it was always meant to be.
