EP 113 \ Unintended Consequences: 5 Downstream Impacts of Bottles and Pacifiers Beyond Nutrition
Most of the time conversation about how to feed your baby centers around the nutrient value of breastfeeding versus formula feeding. That is a very important conversation, obviously. But as is often the case, when we move away from God’s design, there is a “trickle down” impact that flows into so many other areas of life that we maybe didn’t consider. Today I want to talk with you about the consequences outside of nutrition alone that feeding with a bottle and using a pacifier can have on your baby — and yes, this includes pumping and bottle feeding. ...

EP 95 \ Is Home Birth Reckless or Scary? A Picture of What Home Birth Looks Like
Everything that is new to you seems scary. Familiarity is what makes things comfortable and less scary. This is true for many things and home birth is no different. I get messages from listeners saying they would love to have a birth at home but their husband isn’t comfortable or maybe they’re scared to do it.

EP 65 \ Permanently Altering What God Made Perfect? A Series on Circumcision: Part 1 - Normal Penis Anatomy & The History of Circumcision
SHOW NOTES It's frustrating to feel social pressure to do something that just doesn't make any sense.

Normally our conversations are around pregnancy and birth and how what the world does just doesn't make much sense, but today we're going into the newborn phase to talk about one of the most controversial topics there is….circumcision. Today's episode is going to look at the normal penis anatomy as well as some history behind circu...

EP 64 \ If You’re Lukewarm, You Won’t Make It
SHOW NOTES Today's episode is part Bible study, part birth lesson. There are a lot of parallels to be found in the story of the lukewarm church in Revelation with the mindset necessary to succeed in having a natural birth in this medicalized world. This episode will challenge you to commit and not be lukewarm in your outlook about birth so that you can truly succeed and rise above the odds stacked against you in the medical model of maternity care.

EP 42 \ There Are No Guarantees...Except One - Lead Me To The Rock That Is Higher Than I
Sometimes with all the technology that's available and all the testing and all the screening, we as mamas start to think that knowing all this stuff means that everything is going to be OK. We really want to hang onto that because no mama wants to think about losing a baby, either during pregnancy or after. We're all terrified of it on some level. But I need you to know....that security that we want to feel...it's an illusion. I know that hurts to hear, but don't lose hope. I want to talk to you about how to walk this...

EP 40 \ The Best Part of Home Birth Isn’t The Birth
Giving birth at home is the best way for most moms to give birth whether they realize it or not. Most moms can have a natural birth safely and comfortably at home given the right preparation and support.

There are many things you have to deal with during hospital birth that you just don't have to worry about at home, so today I am going over some of those things. Did I...
