    I love this podcast. Each episode is filled with great content. It’s so incredible to be able to rest while listening, not having to guard your heart or protect yourself from another fearful story that is far too common in our world. Karen has provided a platform to share faith-filled stories, that give other women hope and encouragement for a beautiful birth. The glory is given to God and I always come away feeling grateful to know Jesus and be able to surrender and put my trust in Him for the ... more

  • A BLESSING

    A must listen for anyone even thinking of having children one day. I was subconsciously not letting myself get pregnant because of my fear of the pain of childbirth. I finally researched “pain free birth” to see if it was possible because deep in my spirit, I knew it had to be. And sure enough, I came across Karen and binged many episodes and I’ve never felt more confident and fearless to give birth than I do now. ❤️ THANK YOU GOD AND THANK YOU KAREN!!!

  • Spoke to my Spirit

    Thank you Jesus that I found Karen via social media! I was praying for biblical insight on childbirth and pregnancy as I knew there was Gods best out there. I wanted His vision and design for us women and I gained revelation of that from Karen’s podcast. I am due with our first in April 26’ and am SO excited and filled with hopeful expectations for my labor and delivery.

    This podcast will bless you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#101 | Planned Hospital Birth Turned Peaceful Free Birth in a Truck
Q: What made you decide to attempt an unmedicated birth after a previous hospital birth with an epidural?
I wanted to explore birth with less intervention, after reflecting on my first birth and choosing to prepare mentally and spiritually, which helped me feel confident that an unmedicated birth could be achievable.
#95 | Fear Free, Pain Free, and Joyful Twin Home Birth
Q: What was the birth like, and how did your midwife influence the outcome?
The midwife evaluated the situation, detected scar tissue restricting dilation, and released it, which caused a dramatic jump to nine centimeters. The birth unfolded mostly peacefully, with the first baby delivered after a long but steady labor and the second one following more quickly after the first. The midwife's expertise, along with the couple's supportive environment, kept interventions minimal and the experience centered on natural processes at home.
#90 | From an Excruciating First Labor to a Pain-Free and Fear-free Birth
Q: What allowed your body to open in those hours?
I immersed myself in faith, prepared my heart, and embraced a different mindset, which made the experience enjoyable instead of painful.
#90 | From an Excruciating First Labor to a Pain-Free and Fear-free Birth
Q: What did you do differently to prepare for this? And how did your mindset start shifting?
I focused on wanting a fear-free birth and getting into the Word of God, worship music, and avoiding social media to stay grounded.
#87 | Breaking the Fear and Trusting God Through a First-Time Home Birth
Q: Tell us a little bit about your preparation and your journey in preparing for your first baby, because it's a little bit unique compared to most women.
Katie prepared by being in midwifery school for almost three years and attending close to 100 births prior to her own, which helped her understand physiological birth better.
