Podcasts about birthing

From false labor scares and not finding Cam's heartbeat to sleep training, breastmilk stashes, and granny panties... I'm taking you back to the raw, chaotic, beautiful early days of motherhood. I share what I had no clue about with my first newborn, the help I had with each baby, why I chose to be induced just so I wouldn't give birth alone, and what I would do differently if I had a baby today. From eczema and night nurses to co-sleeping and Jaxon crawling into my bed every night for four years, we talk about the exhaustion, the guilt, the joy, and the judgment (including mom shaming). I open up about losing my brother the same week I had Saylor, pushing myself way too hard, and all of the things that made those days feel long, even when the months flew by.

How deep can birth take you when you fully surrender to the mystery?In this episode, I sit down with Mimilia—mother of four and a recent graduate of our MatriBirth Mentor Institute. Her story is a breathtaking journey through four radically different births, each one deepening her trust, sharpening her discernment, and calling her closer to truth.We begin with her first birth: newly single, choosing freebirth in her homeland of Puerto Rico, and awakening to her own power in the most unexpected of settings. From there, Mimilia shares the simple beauty of freebirthing in a tipi in the Colorado mountains, before taking a surprising detour—hiring a licensed midwife for her third birth. But it's her fourth birth that brings it all home: the culmination of her path through sovereignty, surrender, and self-responsibility. This episode is a mirror, a medicine story, and an invitation to reflect on what birth reveals when we are ready to listen.Inside this episode:What it's like to leave a relationship mid-pregnancy and return to your homelandWhat it looks like to birth in a tipi—with a handmade altar and a bucket of waterWhy hiring a midwife for her third birth helped her understand what kind of birth keeper she would beHow birth exposed the subtle and chronic ways she'd been abandoning herselfWhat it takes to face birth without flinching—and let it break you openWhy having her children witness birth became a sacred part of the journeyHow MMI helped her embody her calling as a woman, a mother, and a birth keeperThis one is intimate, wild, and deeply instructive.

Jessica has been affectionately dubbed The Combat Midwife by the over 100,000 Army combat medics, flight medics, and special operations medics she has taught.  She's a Midwife, Paramedic, & EMS educator with a passion for Ob-Gyn and pediatric emergencies.  More importantly to me, she's also a friend. I think she's the only podcast guest so far that's spent the night on my farm.  Her expertise in prehospital medicine and specializing in OB/GYN emergencies and out-of-hospital birth transfers has been published in EMS World Magazine, and she has personally delivered babies in a variety of extreme settings—including an Afghan refugee camp when the U.S. pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021. Jessica's fast-paced yet nurturing approach equips individuals, families, and medical professionals with the confidence and skills to care for women and newborns when it matters most. Whether training elite military teams or rural first responders, her mission remains the same: to ensure no birth is left to chance.   Website: https://combatmidwife.com Classes & Kits: Workshops & Kits Email: ask@combatmidwife.com Instagram: @CombatMidwife YouTube: Combat Midwife on YouTube Facebook: Combat Midwife on Facebook X: @CombatMidwife Telegram: Combat Midwife on Telegram   Boom!

Rural birthing centers are closing at an alarming pace in Wisconsin and across the country, but Door County Medical Center CEO Brian Stephens says their birthing center isn't going anywhere. Stephens and Dr. Dorene Dempster join Myles Dannhausen Jr. to talk about why rural hospitals struggle to keep the service going and what the Medical Center does to keep theirs open to serve our isolated community.

In this episode, Jessica and I begin with a question: How does one stay rooted in beauty without being consumed by it?Our conversation traces the slow emergence of Babalon—the archetypal force of erotic creativity, sovereignty, and sacred presence—as she rises from beneath perception and into felt experience. We explore how this creative power nourishes when embodied, but also how it can distort when separated from feeling.We draw on priestess and magician lineages to consider what it means to grow in relation to beauty—to open without losing oneself, to feel deeply without flooding, and to hold the creative current with integrity.This is an episode for those navigating the subtle path between inspiration and fragmentation, and seeking to rise gently, steadily, into the sacred power of presence. --------------------Jessica Christine is the creator of DeerWomen.

⭐️ Get your free Human Design Chart https://www.miranda-mitchell.com/free-human-design-chart-video  In this episode of Provoking Prosperity, I sit in soulful conversation with Elysia Skye—intuitive mentor, award-winning speaker, and radiant truth-teller. Together, we explore the tender terrain where intuition becomes lifeline, voice becomes medicine, and visibility becomes initiation. Elysia shares the sacred unraveling of her path—how a cancer diagnosis called her deeper into devotion, how performance softened into presence, and how she began listening to the voice that had always known. We journey through: - The quiet power of intuition - The difference between performance and presence - What it means to evolve in public, and still choose truth - The sacredness of the voice in creative work - Navigating the projections that come with being seen - How devotion, not discipline, opens the gates to prosperity Elysia  work with The Brilliance Method invites visionary leaders to shed the masks and embody their essence—not someday, but now. This conversation is an invitation back to what's real, to what's raw, and to the kind of prosperity that begins in the heart and resounds through the voice.

Her path is one of deep listening. It was her own intuition that spoke the truth of a life-altering cancer diagnosis—an initiation that rooted her work in devotion, not performance. From that threshold forward, Elysia has committed her voice and vision to helping others reclaim their own. She's brought her medicine to spaces held by Oprah, Google, Sony, and L'Oréal—yet her deepest impact lives in the sacred moments where someone dares to follow their knowing. Through storytelling, resonance, and grounded accountability, Elysia invites others into prosperity that is no longer performed—but felt, lived, and spoken into being.

If you've ever given birth, are about to give birth, or love someone who's about to, this episode is a MUST. Deena opens up about how she's preparing for baby #3, and this time? It's not about a hospital bag or the perfect birth plan. It's about mental health. Nervous system regulation. Self-advocacy. And building a postpartum setup that actually supports her.In this raw and radically honest conversation, Kristin and Deena go deep on:What Deena learned from two very different birth experiencesHow she's breaking the fear–tension–pain cycle with science-backed toolsWhy the key to a “good birth” isn't epidural vs. unmedicated - it's how you're treatedWhat it looks like to prep your partner and kids to support you after birthHow to unapologetically ask for what you need - even when it's uncomfortableYou'll walk away feeling grounded, empowered, and ready to take up space in your birth and postpartum experience - because you deserve to be held, seen, and supported. This isn't about being perfect. It's about being powerful.Fisher Price x Big Little Feelings - Brain-boosting play kits designed by expertsThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Looking into the distant future, I see a new model of power waiting to be born. Not the old systems dressed in new clothes. Not capitalism or socialism with fresh slogans. But something quieter. More radiant. A structure that emerges when we stop leading from fear and start embodying the truth of who we are. Join this exploration of the concept of Ontocracy — governance by being. A paradigm that arises after the storm of healing, when the ego no longer needs to brace or defend, and a deeper alignment becomes possible. This isn't about utopia. It's about coherence. Presence. The sacred architecture of a world shaped by self-governed souls in mutual respect. Ontocracy is what power looks like when it's rooted in wholeness. Stepping Up To Your Potential Podcast

Rane and Jo welcome Claire Holloway back for her second appearance on the Flow Artist Podcast, where she shares her evolving journey as a yoga teacher and activist in Perth, Western Australia. Since her last visit, Claire has expanded her focus to include perinatal care, home birthing support, and community-based yoga programs. One of her notable achievements has been securing a local council grant to provide subsidised postpartum yoga, making her services more accessible to those who need them most. The conversation takes a powerful turn when Claire discusses her recent activism work, particularly her involvement in organising "Mothering During a Genocide," an event that amplified Palestinian and Indigenous voices. Her approach to activism is deeply intertwined with her role as a mother, viewing it as a nurturing, long-term commitment to social justice. As she puts it, "Start with a willingness to learn" - a philosophy that guides both her teaching and activism. The episode also delves into some sobering realities about birthing rights in Australia, with Claire sharing that "one in three people who birth in Australia are experiencing birth trauma." Her work in the home birth community and advocacy for birthing rights demonstrates her commitment to addressing these systemic issues. Throughout the conversation, Claire maintains a balance between acknowledging the gravity of social justice issues while offering hope and practical steps for creating change, emphasising that meaningful impact often starts with small, consistent actions rather than grand gestures.

This is the episode you've all been waiting for! Sarah is joined by her husband Eric to share the full, unfiltered 1 hour and 40 minute retelling of their daughter and fourth child, Ocean Rain Olsen's birth story. And it's a journey. This was a birth filled with unexpected turns, moments of deep fear, physical exhaustion, and emotional intensity that pushed Sarah to the very edge of what felt humanly possible. And still, she stayed in it. With radical acceptance, strength, and an unwavering ‘yes and' mentality, she kept showing up to every moment, no matter how wild or overwhelming. Through surrender, grit, courage and grace, Sarah navigated the most complicated and challenging birth of her life. It's raw, it's real, it's a masterclass in trusting your body and spirit, even when everything feels out of control. This is one incredibly moving and inspiring story.

Ready to hear how faith births funding and favor miracles? In part 2 of my conversation with Maryann Ehmann, you're in for a whirlwind of stories that mix divine downloads with everyday boldness. From co-creating with God to breaking through fear of judgment, Maryann shares how spiritual favor isn't just a feel-good concept—it's a power tool for life, business, and even destination weddings in New Zealand.Whether you're building a business, battling internal resistance, or just here for the glory stories (and maybe a few holy mic drops), this episode is packed with golden takeaways and spiritual inspiration that'll leave you smiling and maybe even jotting down some declarations of your own.Enjoy!BIO RECAP:For over 40 years, Maryann Ehmann, Abundance Master, Dream Activator, Income Strategist and founder of Magnificent Love Coaching, has successfully worked with teens to seniors, the humble poor to the fabulously wealthy, as well as the frustrated unemployed to the exhausted high achieving professional, teaching and coaching them all to achieve that which they never had before.Her diverse experiences as a lawyer, financial adviser, and ministry leader give her a unique background to help solve a wide variety of issues. Even so, Maryann's sweet spot is supporting the spiritually inclined entrepreneur who may be stuck or plateaued but will stop at nothing in furthering their deepest desires and wildest dreams.HIGHLIGHTS:Favor does the heavy lifting. Maryann starts off reminding us that we don't have to grind our way into God's blessings—favor is already working on our behalf.Feel the love and the favor. Not just know it intellectually—actually experience it. That's how we co-create with God.Fear of judgment can block blessings. Maryann got real about hesitating to launch a GoFundMe campaign because of what others might think.Putting up the shield of favor. Inspired by Psalm 5:12, she envisions God's favor like a force field that neutralizes arrows of judgment. Pretty epic.The GoFundMe campaign wasn't just about money. It was about inviting others into a love story and letting her son feel deeply valued by her community.God provides new money for new missions. She heard the phrase “New money for New Zealand” and ran with it. Spoiler: it worked.Despise not small beginnings. Her first contribution was just $197, but she didn't let it kill the vibe. That verse kept her anchored.Miracles snowballed. A random client showed up. An old domain sold for $2,500. The funds added up fast—and all within a week.Faith takes action. Buying the plane ticket was her “stake in the ground” moment—and yes, it came with a minor panic attack. Still worth it.“Love the lie, kiss it goodbye.” Maryann's process for dealing with negative beliefs is as brilliant as it is poetic.Overflow blessing. Her $10k target turned into $20k, and none of it came from savings. Just pure co-creation with the Lord.God likes making money with us. Her free manifesting miracles course led people to hire her—bringing in around $50k to $60k without even pitching."Too freeing for me." One person found her teaching too liberating. That's one way to know you're walking in bold truth.Co-creation starts with joy, not obligation. Maryann only produces when it feels aligned and joyful—not out of “shoulds.” It shows.The real goal? Transformation. Whether someone takes one step or a giant leap, it's all about moving toward God and stepping into favor.LINK for MARYANN:– Check out her coaching and other resources: https://www.maryannehmann.com/LINK for BRALYNN: – Coaching for Business and Breakthrough Encounters: http://SpiritCenteredBusiness.comCopyright 2025 - Bralynn Newby Int'l, LLC.

In episode 556 Corinne shares her complete journey to motherhood - from a difficult early pregnancy loss overseas to welcoming four beautiful children. Coming from a family of seven, Corinne always knew she wanted multiple children and to start young. Her story encompasses the complexity of early relationships, making difficult decisions, and ultimately finding joy and confidence in birth. With her partner Jake, she's experienced four very different labours - from her first birth with an epidural to quick, intense vaginal births. Corinne's honesty about the realities of pregnancy sickness, her intuitive approach to birth, and her philosophy of trusting your body whilst remaining flexible makes this an incredibly valuable listen for anyone preparing for birth or supporting others through their journey.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we're talking all about one of my favorite topics—freedom of movement during labor! I'm diving into why it's so important to listen to your body and move in ways that feel good as you work through contractions. From squatting to hands-and-knees to standing and swaying, we'll explore how different positions can make a big difference in your comfort and your baby's progress. Spoiler: lying on your back isn't your only option—and it's definitely not the best one for everyone. I'm also sharing practical tips and exercises to help you prepare, plus how to talk to your provider ahead of time so your birth preferences are respected. You were made to move, mama!Show Notes HERE!Links Mentioned:My Essential Birth CourseMy Essential Birth Postpartum CourseMy Essential Birth InstagramQuestions to Ask Your OBQuestions to Ask Your MidwifeGET IN TOUCH!

Ep. 188: In this episode, Greg and I are finally sharing the full story behind my pregnancy—from our IVF journey and emotional HCG scare to what it felt like watching the embryo transfer in real time. We talk about stepping back from social media, what I learned from two months offline, and how that reset helped my mental health. We also answer your questions about body image, relationship shifts, and how we're preparing for birth, parenting, and life as a growing family. This one's deeply personal, wildly honest, and full of moments we'll never forget. Come listen in—I'm so excited to share this with you. Leave Me a Message - click here!
