While I love birth stories, and questions to prior guests further into their story, I find Karen interrupts the guests way too often. In the middle of details I would love to hear, she interrupts and asks sometimes benign questions and details that would’ve been chatted about how she not interrupted. A guest might be in a flow sharing how something feels, and then is interrupted, and asked about exactly what they had been trying to share about. I find myself wanting to shush Karen, to tell her t... more
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 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!!!
Such an encouraging and empowering podcast! I am 17 weeks pregnant and this made me excited to give birth! Karen definitely educates
and empowers you to feel confident in what your body was designed and created to do.
Karen has instilled so much confidence in me as i have been filling my mind with these podcasts every day preparing for my 2nd unmedicated birth! The first time around I didn’t believe it could be pain free but now I am fully believing and my faith in this area has sky rocketed hearing all these incredible testimonies. Glory be to God!
