-Catching yourself feeling kinda curious about taking a more natural approach to child birth.... buuuuut aren’t quite sure if it’s the right path for you yet?
-Do you wish you understood more about God’s good & wise design for pregnancy, birth and postpartum --- but feel OVERWHELMED on where to even start?
-Do you trust that the Lord cares about & longs to be involved in ALL areas of your life... including labor?
-Are you SO READY to start feeling more confident, at peace and even excited about partnering with the Lord to bring forth new life into this world??
In this podcast, you’ll discover God’s beautiful design for labor & delivery, gain confidence in your birth decisions, hear uplifting birth stories from Christian women who have gone before & be regularly reminded to keep Jesus at the center of it all so you can feel prepared (and even EXCITED!) to embrace the faith-deepening experience of physiological labor WITH God & for His glory.
Hey, I’m Audrey! Bible-believing Christian, wife, former RN & mom of four—two born via C-section and two delivered at home. With my first two deliveries, I lacked sufficient education about how a woman’s & baby’s body are designed for labor, I didn’t possess confidence, I outsourced my birth decisions to others &, ultimately, I left the Lord out of my plans for pregnancy and birth.
After experiencing two surgical deliveries, I realized if I wanted different (or better) birth experiences with future babies, I would need to take a radically different approach toward birth. This led me on a Holy Spirit prompted journey to educate myself, learn from other mamas who experienced birth the way I hoped to, gain confidence in my choices & above ALL prayerfully trust in the Lord as I entrusted my future births into His good and perfect hands.
Now, after two incredibly redemptive home births experiences, I’m on a mission to equip, encourage and inform Christian mamas about alllll things pregnancy, birth & beyond so that they too can experience God’s grace-filled faithfulness to them as they co-labor with Christ to bring forth new life.
So! Whether you’re still discerning if natural birth is right for you, looking to navigate through a low-intervention labor, needing some pre-birth encouragement from someone who has been RIGHT where you are or are just wanting to keep Jesus at the center of all your birth-binging consumption, this space is for YOU.
Slip into your stretchy pants, fill up that water bottle...no really, I’ll wait, gotta keep you + baby hydrated...And let’s get into it!!

01. The #1 Approach to Experiencing Peace, Confidence & Clarity in Pregnancy and Birth Prep
The #1 Approach to Experiencing Peace, Confidence, and Clarity in Pregnancy and Labor Prep
In today’s episode, I’m sharing about the #1 approach to pregnancy, childbirth prep & honestly -- ALL of life -- that I believe (read: KNOW) leads to peace, confidence and clarity.
It’s a bold claim, I know, but approaching my 3rd pregnancy this way (after NOT applying this approach in my first two deliveries) strengthened my faith, brought about indescribable peace & led me to have one of the most profoundly beautiful experiences of my life, delivering a baby at home after 2 previous c-sections.
urrendering control to God and seeking His guidance is the foundation for a birth plan that aligns with His perfect will for you and your baby.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The key Scripture that can transform your approach to birth prep.
How trusting God can bring clarity to every decision you face.
Why inviting God into your plans leads to peace and confidence.
Practical steps to start aligning your birth preparation with God’s will.
Why tune in?
Birth preparation doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or uncertain.
By applying the principles in Proverbs 3:5-6, you can trust that God will guide your choices and strengthen your faith as you listen to His leading. If you’re hoping for a different birth experience this time or simply want to grow closer to God in this season, I pray this episode encourages & reminds you to lean not on your own understanding, but rather, seek HIS will for your pregnancy, labor & life as you trust in Him who is forever faithful.

If this episode encouraged you, the best way you can let me know is by leaving a written or 5-star review & sharing it with another mama who you believe could benefit from a Christ-centered approach to birth preparation! Thanks so much!
