Hearing Natalie talk about her doula experience and insight is such a treat! She has a wonderful heart for equipping soon-to-be moms and loving the families she gets to work with, all while sharing the gospel. Her knowledge and child birth education course were blessings to have access to.
Listened to Packing with Peace today and the end talking about "the most important thing I'm bringing to the hospital is my faith in God who has been knitting this baby together from the beginning" just got me. Thank you so much for this sweet encouragement and reminder that He is in control and we can trust Him!! 🤍
I listened to the episode “Am I in Labor” today, at 42+3. It was so encouraging and a full of wonderful reminders. It’s been 8 years since I’ve given birth, and I really needed this. Especially the encouragement and prayer at the end. We are planning a home birth and my midwife is also a strong Christian. We are trusting the process but I admit, I’m getting antsy. Thank you! Can’t wait to listen to more!
There are some really great birth podcasts out there, but this one if faith-based which is SO important to me. You can have all of the practical knowledge, but having encouragement that is based on the Truth of God will change absolutely everything about the pregnancy, birth, and motherhood journey!
I wish this podcast existed during my first 2 pregnancies! Natalie is an excellent speaker and birth educator. She masterfully weaves evidence-based birth tips into her highly engaging stories. Listening is like having coffee with your best mom friend, while also learning a TON about pregnancy and birth! I am so glad this resource exists and will certainly be tuning in to future episodes!
