  • The BEST birth prep

    I found Pain Free Birth prior to getting married and it lit me up. I forced myself to wait until I was pregnant to take Karen’s course. I have had 2 pain free home births that I accredit to God and PFB.

    I wish episode 77 was required for all Christian women (and skeptics) to hear. Karen does a wonderful job breaking down scripture to encourage and empower women in God’s mercy for us.

  • Most impactful birth podcast to date.

    Having watched every episode in 2025 now, and starting on the prior years, plus being in your doula mastermind I must say this is the most impactful podcast I’ve ever binged.

    Truly was blown away by today’s episode on “What the Bible says about birth.”

    Thank you for investing your time and heart into this journey of advocacy and truth for mothers!!!
