Send us Fan Mail

In this very first episode of Faith Over Fear: The Christian Pregnancy & Birth Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of the most transformative days of my life—the birth of my daughter, Ellie.

From navigating unexpected complications early in pregnancy to giving birth unmedicated in a hospital setting, this episode is full of the real, raw, faith-filled moments that shaped me as a woman and called me into the sacred work of serving other mamas.

You’ll hear how I coped with a subchorionic hematoma, managed intense pelvic pain, and prepared for birth with a mix of evidence-based tools and spiritual practices. You’ll also get a glimpse of the worship-filled atmosphere during labor, how “The Blessing” became my birth anthem, and the exact moment I realized God was calling me to become a doula and childbirth educator.

Whether you’re newly pregnant, preparing for birth, or just curious how God shows up in the labor room—this episode will inspire you to surrender fear, embrace faithful preparation, and trust in His beautiful design for birth.
