Ep 200//Top 5 Episodes and Lessons Learned in the Past 5 Years & 200 episodes!

5 years ago I had radically been changed by the experience of a redemptive and healing homebirth and I knew that my story would help others. I also knew that others had stories to share that needed to be heard. A huge part of my preparation was listening to positive stories so I wanted to created a platform where Jesus followers could come and hear birth stories full of miracles, answered prayers and fill them with hope that if it can happen for one woman it can happen for her too!
 
I have had some amazing guests on from Dr. Sarah Buckley, Dr Stu, Abbie Halberstadt, Hannah Crews, Chelsi Jo, Bethany Beal and over 100 other amazing women who shared their birth story with us. This has been quite the journey and I can’t wait to see where the next 5 years brings us.
 
In today's episode I'm going to go over the TOP 5 episodes and pull the lessons I've learned out of them!

Ep 198//From Dream to Reality: How Mariah Had an Unplanned Unassisted Homebirth

Today, I have a truly special guest, Mariah, whose journey to homebirth has been anything but ordinary.

But as she soon discovered, surrendering that dream would be just as important as holding onto it.
Questions answered in this episode:
-What is surrender and how do I do it?
-What happens if I want a homebirth but my husband doesn't?

Ep 195//Single Mom Chooses Homebirth with Jeanie

Imagine being a single mom, freshly navigating a breakup, and moving halfway across the world—all while pregnant with your first child. That was Jeanie’s story. She’d always had a quiet interest in homebirth, but it wasn’t until life brought her back to the U.S. that a dream once hidden began to surface—a dream that would change everything.
At first, the idea seemed impossible. Even her dad had serious concerns. But Jeanie couldn’t shake the calling God had placed on her heart. She stepped out in faith, and what unfolded next was nothing short of transformational—for her and for those closest to her.

Ep 194//Orgasmic Birth- How You Can Have a Pleasurable Homebirth with Debra Pascali-Bonaro

Head's Up! We talk about Orgasms, Pleasure, Sex and more in this episode! It may be one you want to listen to with out little ears around!
I am absolutely thrilled to welcome a special guest, Debra Pascali-Bonaro, an internationally recognized childbirth educator, doula, filmmaker, and the author of Orgasmic Birth. Debra is on a mission to transform the way we view birth—from something to be feared to something to be celebrated. She believes that birth can be powerful, intimate, and even pleasurable. Yes, you heard that right: birth can be pleasurable.
In this episode, we’ll explore what it means to have an "orgasmic birth," how to create an environment that supports a positive and empowering birth experience, and how to reframe the fear-based narratives so many of us have been taught about birth. Debra also shares practical tips for preparing your mind and body for labor, ways to strengthen the bond with your birth partner, and how to trust yourself and the process of birth.
