If you’ve ever found yourself lying in bed at night, heart racing with questions like “Can I really do this?” or “What if something goes wrong?”—this one’s for you.
In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the story behind why I left the hospital system and stepped into this work: not just to support natural birth, but to stand in the gap for Catholic women who feel spiritually stuck when preparing for birth. I share how my own pain-free birth experience—and the fear I had to overcome—shaped everything I do today.
We’ll unpack:
- Why fear in birth is so rampant (and where it really comes from)
- The tension between crunchy and Catholic, and how the birth space often misses the mark
- How to renew your mind around birth without turning to manifestation or goddess energy
- What Scripture actually says about fear—and how to use it as a sword in labor prep
- Why your mindset matters deeply and how to root it in truth, not fluff
If you’ve been afraid, overwhelmed, or unsure how to even bring birth into your prayer life, I want you to know: you’re not alone. This episode will give you language, clarity, and permission to process your fears with the Lord—and walk into birth with peace, not panic.
