  • Uplifting, inspiring, encouraging

    This is an absolute gem of a show! It’s the first one I’ve found of its kind - Faith centered first and foremost, and showing the full range of possibilities for birth that challenges cultural norms. Thank you so much Karen for your show! I’m a first time mom who didn’t exactly get my dream birth the first time around and am excited to keep your show in rotation whenever baby #2 comes. God really gets all the glory in your show and it is evident💙🙏🏻

  • God is in control!

    God takes care of the sparrows and gives the time for when the deer give birth—I love this podcast so much for the Biblical wisdom and encouragement that this podcast shares! I had a wonderful first home birth and look forward to my second home/unassisted birth in the next couple weeks and am thankful that I found this podcast! I am needing to prepare my mind more for the surges, but very excited for another opportunity to give birth!
