2026/03/30

Today’s episode is such a special one because I’m sitting down with one of my dear friends, Madeline Marlatt—you might also know her as @mommamadeline on Instagram. She is now the author of a new book, A Labor of Love all about God's design for pregnancy, birth and motherhood. There’s just something different about getting to have these kinds of conversations with women you know and love… and this one felt like we were just sitting on the couch together talking about birth, Jesus, and all the ways

I’m joined by Bria, who is just three months postpartum after having her HBAC — that’s a homebirth after cesarean — where she birthed an almost 11-pound baby. But her story didn’t start there. With her first baby, she experienced PROM, which ultimately led to an emergency C-section. In this episode, she opens up about the fears she carried into her next pregnancy, how she intentionally worked through them, and the ways God met her in both of her birth experiences. We also get into some super

Today’s conversation is such a beautiful one, especially if you are currently pregnant with your first baby and dreaming about what it could look like to have a peaceful homebirth with the Lord at the center of it.If you’re a first-time mom, you probably have a lot of questions swirling in your mind right now. Will I know what to do? What if I go past my due date? How do I actually prepare for labor in a way that builds confidence instead of fear? My guest today, Janeen Shane, is sharing the story

Her first baby was born via a necessary emergency C-section — the kind of birth that leaves you grateful everyone is alive… and yet quietly shaken.Years later, during her fifth pregnancy — a surprise — she sat in a doctor’s office where abortion was casually implied as an option. In this conversation, she shares how she moved from emergency C-section to midwife-led homebirth… how biblical and mental preparation transformed her labors… and why postpartum care is not optional — especially after

Her first birth was filled with tension and pain from beginning to end — and it left her carrying trauma for 18 months. The second time? The morning labor began, a North Dakota blizzard kept her husband home until 10 a.m. — giving them an unexpected, sacred morning together as a family of three. The birth itself was intense. Wildly intense. But not painful. She kept surrendering to each surge. At one point she thought, “If this gets worse, I’m not sure what I’ll do.” And yet — it never turned into

2026/02/23

In this episode, we’re talking about something most women feel but rarely frame correctly: why pregnancy and birth feel so hard — and what God might be doing in it.As we watch the Lord refine His Church, exposing pride, self-protection, and self-promotion, it raises an important question: could He also be refining us through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum? From nausea and sleepless nights to intense contractions and the “ring of fire,” pregnancy and birth stretch us physically, emotionally, and

"Most of the time when left alone, birth works." This is the phrase you'll hear me see almost on every episode. This starts with the belief that "birth is simple." But what happens if pregnancy and birth become complicated? What if difficult things come up? Are you surrounded by people who will help you and support you, or shut you down and silence you?

Today’s episode is with Aspen, a first-time mom, who had a beautiful, five-hour birth at a birth center — but her story starts long before labor began. She grew up hearing that birth was terrible — her mom even said she wished for death during hers. But instead of repeating that narrative, this mama decided to renew her mind and approach birth differently.We talk about the delicate balance between having faith-filled expectations without setting yourself up for disappointment, and how too much

In today’s episode, Brit shares the incredible story of how God spoke to her heart before she was even pregnant — giving her the name of her baby and confirming that this child was part of His plan. After having hospital births before, Brit wasn’t sure if they would have more kids, and the idea of homebirth felt like a distant “maybe someday.” She used to say, “I’d like to have a homebirth, but…” — always finding a reason why it couldn’t happen.But as she began to trust God, He started opening

I’m sitting down with Mckenzie, who has experienced two very different homebirth stories. Her first was a grueling 30+ hour birth that left her feeling like both her body and God had betrayed her.

She chose homebirth for both of her babies, and while her first didn’t go the way she had hoped — including a difficult recovery after tearing — God used her second birth story to show His faithfulness in such a powerful way.For baby number two, Michelle and her family traveled five hours to their midwife’s home, and once again, God showed up — not just in the

So many women preparing for homebirth tell me, ‘I’m trying to have faith, but I still feel scared.’They think faith means they have to feel sure that everything will go perfectly. But biblical faith isn’t about having psychological certainty — it’s about trusting a faithful God even when the outcome is still unseen.
