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.

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.

Stories help us know what is possible! When you start questioning the culture narratives around birth it can feel so isolating and confusing. It is a journey that too many women are afraid to start on despite the call to birth in sovereign freedom.
Bri is NOT one of those women. After 2 c-sections she knew she didn’t want a repeat and started her journey of questioning what she knew. After having a healing homebirth she got pregnant again, this time with twins! Today she shares her story of choosing homebirth after c-section, tough conversations with her husband and now her journey to homebirth twins.
