In today's episode, I'm wrapping up my birth series with something I've been so excited to share — my best postpartum advice (after three very different experiences). I'm currently three months postpartum with baby Sofia, and after walking through this season three times now, I've learned so much about what truly matters, and what doesn't, in those early months after birth.Instead of focusing just on recovery or baby care, this episode is all about the real-life side of postpartum — how to rest, ask for help, nurture your body, and actually enjoy this fleeting season. I'm sharing 13 pieces of advice that go beyond the typical “sleep when the baby sleeps” kind of tips — from taking the rest your body is inviting you into, to embracing freezer meals, saying yes to help, getting ready for the day (even a little bit!), how to make meal times easier, and finding rhythms that actually make you feel like yourself again.Whether you're a first-time mom or welcoming your third (or beyond!), my hope is that this episode reminds you that every postpartum journey is unique. I'm also sharing encouragement for my fellow business owners on planning a real maternity leave and giving yourself permission to rest because your business will still be there when you're ready.Links Mentioned:- Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/321- If you missed the earlier parts of this series, you can go back to listen to:Episode 318: My Pregnancy + Home Birth PlansEpisode 319: Sofia's Home Birth StoryEpisode 320: Your Birth Questions Answered- My best home birth and VBAC resources: elizabethmccravy.com/birth- Colin's birth story: Episode 148- Ethan's birth story: Episode 265- Maternity Leave Prep Episodes: Episodes 139, 276- BTS of my maternity leaves with Colin and Ethan: Episodes 158, 277, 278- Shop our Showit Website Templates (use code BBPODCAST for 10% off!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop - Connect with Elizabeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethmccravy/Thanks to our sponsor, Christian Healthcare Ministries!

They pulled off the heist of the century. Priceless jewels were stolen from the Louvre in broad daylight. But while the world watches Paris, another kind of theft is happening right here at home — and you might actually be paying for it. It's not diamonds they're after. It's your freedom. In this episode, we uncover how the quiet surrender of control over our thermostats, our choices, and even our faith is becoming the modern-day heist. Kirk draws powerful parallels between the Louvre robbery, the gospel, and the growing trend of “smart” control over your daily life. What are we really trading away for convenience? And how can you protect what's truly priceless — your freedom, your family, and your faith?

Maybe today you want the personal defense attorney Jesus—the one who argues your case and makes sure everyone who's wronged you finally gets what's coming. But the truth is, you don't need a lawyer in heaven's courtroom… you already have a perfect Judge. In this episode, Kirk unpacks what it really means to “leave vengeance to God,” why justice belongs to Him alone, and how choosing peace over payback is actually a sign of true spiritual strength. Plus—Kirk and James answer your questions about secular entertainment, the Shroud of Turin, capital punishment, and more!

In this episode, I'm sharing Sofia's incredible birth story, and how God provided me with truly everything I've ever wanted in a birth. After two very different births with my boys (one ending in an unexpected C-section and another full of surrender and faith), this home birth felt like everything coming full circle. From the moment labor began to the second I held her in my arms, I could see God's hand over every single detail.You'll hear all about the final days leading up to Sofia's birth, when I was trying to balance faith and patience while waiting for labor to begin. I share how I prepared my heart and home, the ways I sensed God guiding me through my fears, and even how my midwife's gentle encouragement helped me rest and trust His timing. I also walk through her actual birth story… including what it was like to realize things were moving fast, how supported I felt by my husband and birth team, and the calm presence that filled our home that day (even with our boys home!).This episode is full of answered prayers, quiet miracles, and reminders that God cares about every part of our story, even the smallest details of birth. Whether you're preparing for your own home birth after a C-section (HBAC), a VBAC,  hoping to experience peace after a difficult birth, or simply love hearing stories of faith and motherhood, I hope Sofia's story encourages you the way it has encouraged me. I feel incredibly grateful to be able to share it with you.Links Mentioned:- Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/319- Home birth and VBAC resource guide (with links): https://elizabethmccravy.com/birth/- Shop our Showit Website Templates (use code BBPODCAST for 10% off!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/showit-website-templates/  - Join me inside the Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb - Join me inside Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod  - Want the insider scoop?

In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most personal journeys I've ever shared: the path from having a C-section with my second baby to experiencing a home birth with my third, our sweet Sofia Kate McCravy. Just seven months after my C-section, I found myself pregnant again, facing a decision I never expected to make so soon: Would I try for a VBAC, schedule a repeat C-section, or try for the home birth I had always quietly longed for (but felt unlikely)?I walk you through the ups and downs of that decision-making process (and yes, there's a business lesson in here), from being told “no” by multiple midwives, sitting in doctor's offices feeling dismissed and even shamed, and ultimately learning how to advocate for myself and dig into the research around VBACs (vaginal birth after cesarean) and HBACs (home birth after cesarean). I also share how journaling, prayer, and conversations with supportive providers helped me process both my fears and my desires. And I'll tell you about the persistence it took (17 inquiries later!) to find the right midwife who believed in me and my ability to have this birth.If you're curious about home birth, considering a VBAC, or simply love hearing honest, real birth experiences, I hope my journey encourages you. And if you're a business listener who found this episode in your feed, stick around. You'll be surprised at how many lessons from pregnancy and birth apply directly to entrepreneurship, resilience, and trusting your instincts.Links Mentioned:- Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/318- Home birth resource guide (with links): https://elizabethmccravy.com/home-birth-resource-guide-vbac-hbac/- Shop our Showit Website Templates (use code BBPODCAST for 10% off!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/showit-website-templates/  - Join me inside the Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb - Join me inside Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod  - Want the insider scoop?
