  • Lovely Perspective on Birth

    I have loved listening to this podcast during my pregnancy and am so appreciative of the natural birth philosophy from a Catholic perspective! The only critique I have is the host’s vocal fry. I find myself only able to listen to half episodes at a time because the vocal fry is very grating to me (and I say this as a born and bred SoCal girl 🙈). If the host can just be aware that vocal quality is a huge factor in podcasting, I think it’d help me love this podcast even more!

  • So easy to understand!

    Wow! I have listened to so many podcasts over the past couple of years on birth but I stumbled across this one today and have listened to 3 episodes already. She explains things so well and makes it so easy to understand. So many of the other podcasts would say “you should really educate yourself” and this is the best one I have found that is actually educating in layman’s terms.

Q: What are some of the most important truths that you think Catholic women need to reclaim about their bodies and their capacity to birth?
Our bodies are intentionally designed by God, and it's essential to recognize that birth itself is a sign of health and vitality, not an emergency or pathology as the culture often depicts it.
