Welcome to week 2 of Ceserean Awareness month!  This week, Jenn Leonard and Lauren Silk, founders of Colorado Mountain Doulas (www.coloradomountaindoulas.com), join us on the show to talk about the importance of having help from a birth assistant (also called doula) during your birth.  What should you look for in a doula?  Why is it so important to have one?  In the Bible, birth was something that all the women in the village participated in.  No woman was left alone to birth their baby.  The comfort of being surrounded by women who have gone before you in birth can be very encouraging.  Dr Pauline & Catherine will also discuss with Jenn & Lauren the importance of planning ahead and actually writing out a birth plan.

Everyone knows what a c-section (ceserean section) is, but what a lot of people don't know is that there is a huge problem in the US resulting from the over-use of and the casual attitude toward the use of this surgery (yes, it's surgery).  What is even more disturbing is that the Church is no different in their attitude and over-use of c-sections.  Why is this a problem?  How do we address this?  How can we change it?  Listen to this important show to kick off Ceserean Awareness Month as Dr Pauline & Catherine discuss solutions to this growing problem.  As always, we welcome your comments and questions through Facebook (Dunamas Center Ministries), and Twitter (@YourDunamasLife).

Have you ever thought, "Why couldn't I have had a 'normal' childhood?"  Did you grow up in a loving home?  Were you raised in a single-parent home?  Was there abuse of some kind in your past?  Everybody on earth has something in their past (or present) that they wish wasn't there, or they wish wasn't there at all.  Here's the thing:  are you going to stay in the muck and the mire of that situation?  Or will you let God redeem it through you?  That's right...God is a big, generous, loving God who can use any and every bad situation to His glory and to the good of those who love Him.  Listen this week as Dr Pauline & Catherine talk about this important topic hear what the Bible says about redemption.  As always, we welcome your comments and questions through Facebook (Dunamas Center Ministries), and Twitter (@YourDunamasLife).

Dallas & Shelly Shepard are on the show this week as kind of a "part 2" from last week.  On January 30, 2003, a thrown baseball changed their son, Austin's life - as well as the lives of his parents - forever.  Austin was in a coma for 2 1/2 months.  Since then, Dallas & Shelly have been on a relentless journey to find the best methods & techniques to help Austin (and others with similar injuries) recover.  Dallas & Shelly own the Harmonized Brain Centers where they have a passion to help people with neurological conditions using state-of-the-art techniques without medication.  Join Dr Pauline and Catherine as they hear the amazing story of this wonderful family.  For more information about Dallas & Shelly, visit www.harmonizedbraincenters.com or e-mail Dallas at [email protected].  As always, we welcome your comments and questions through Facebook (Dunamas Center Ministries), and Twitter (@YourDunamasLife).

This week Dr Pauline and Catherine have the pleasure of talking with Austin Shepard and his mom Shelly.  Austin had a traumatic brain injury in 2003 (at age 10).  Even after being in a lengthy coma and having one hospital discharge him because they felt they couldn't do any more for him, his parents didn't give up hope.  There's more to the story...listen in to hear about it!  Since then, he has gone on to become an Eagle Scout, and launch a company called You Inspire Me! Speaker's Bureau.  He has also become a Mosaic Ambassador for the Small Business Development Center.  His vision for his company is to change the world by inspiring one person at a time and encouraging them to do the same.  Please visit Austin's website at www.bumponthehead.com to see what amazing things he's been doing and how you can help, and e-mail him at [email protected] if you or someone you know has a story to share.  As always, we welcome your comments and questions through Facebook (Dunamas Center Ministries), and Twitter (@YourDunamasLife).

Birth in the US has become very misunderstood.  We used to think that birth was something that happened naturally, that women could do it (they were made to do it), and the need for doctors and medical interventions was minimal at best.  Families had control over their birthing environment (because it was usually their home), and birth was something to look forward to without fear.  Now, in the US, hospitals have become the norm and doctors and lawyers are controlling where and how you are allowed to birth.  Fear and greed has taken over the birthing industry (yes, it’s become an industry), and families are suffering for it.  The UK, however, has realized that the best place to have a baby is not necessarily in the hospital.  Listen to this very important show as Dr Pauline  and Catherine discuss a NY Times article about how birth professionals in the UK are advising mothers that home birth can be as safe or safer than giving birth in the hospital.  As always, we welcome your comments and questions through Facebook (Dunamas Center Ministries), and Twitter (@YourDunamasLife).

Finding the right Christian counselor when you need one is a big deal.  How do you know what questions to ask?  Are they really a Christian counselor?  How can you tell?  This week, Catherine will be “interviewing” our in-house Christian counselor, Dr Pauline, in an effort to ask and answer some questions that you should keep in mind when talking to potential counselors. As always, we welcome your comments and questions through Facebook (Dunamas Center Ministries), and Twitter (@YourDunamasLife).
