It is common for partners to have different opinions about pregnancy, birth, or parenting. These differences can create tension, especially when decisions need to be made. As doulas, we play a vital role in navigating these situations with professionalism and care. It is important that we equip ourselves with strategies to support both individuals without taking sides. We can more effectively help them communicate by asking questions that invite open communication and help uncover the underlying values or fears behind each perspective. Understanding where each person is coming from creates space for empathy and problem-solving. Guiding partners toward common ground by encouraging collaboration and fostering mutual respect is critical. By remaining neutral and supportive, doulas can help families approach these challenges as a team rather than opponents. Join us for a practical conversation on how to maintain balance, build trust, and support healthy communication when clients and their partners see things differently.

What does it really take to have a good birth in a hospital?In this episode, I'm joined by Care Messer, Founder of the Birth Education Center in San Diego. She's a certified hypnobirthing instructor, a DONA-certified doula, and a childbirth educator who also trains doulas. Care teaches engaging, partner-friendly online classes that have helped many families prepare for birth with more clarity and confidence.We get into what it means to prepare early, why most women don't realize how much choice they actually have, and what it looks like to create a safe, grounded birth experience inside a hospital system. From power dynamics with providers to the small, practical things that shift your sense of safety, this conversation breaks down what women and their partners need to know before walking through those hospital doors.You'll Learn:Why choosing the right hospital and provider early changes everythingWhat it feels like to enter a system where you're treated as room number instead of a person giving birthWhy staying home longer in early labor can dramatically shift your hospital experienceThe surprising link between hospital C-section rates and NICU levelsHow eye masks, dim lights, and warm blankets keep your body in labor modeWhen partners step into the role of protector and advocate in the birth roomThe quiet damage of being a passive participant versus owning your birth decisionsWhy hospital classes often train you to be a “good patient” instead of giving you real optionsHow listening to birth stories helps you recognize and avoid common intervention cascadesTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[03:00] How preparation and safety shape the hospital birth experience[09:22] Rethinking what safety really means in birth[13:01] Choosing the right hospital, provider, and birth team[20:20] The partner's role in protecting space and shifting power dynamics[36:37] Practical ways to protect labor hormones in a hospital birth[50:15] Arming with education and optimizing the hospital environment for laborResources Mentioned:Episode 65: All About VBAC pt.1: Perspectives from an OB, Midwife, and Doula with Care Messer | Spotify or AppleBirth Education Center | WebsiteBucky Eye Mask | AmazonThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. | Book or AudiobookMen, Love & Birth by Mark Harris | Book or AudiobookLabor Like A Goddess by Alexandria Moran and Lauren Mahana | BookBirth Psychology | WebsiteMorgan's First Birth | VideoLearn more about the Birth Education Care by visiting their website, YouTube channel, and Facebook page.Follow Care on Instagram, LinkedIn and listen to her Podcast on Apple or Spotify.Find more from Leah:Leah Gordon | InstagramLeah Gordon | WebsiteLeah Gordon | WebsiteFind more from Morgan:Morgan MacDermott | InstagramMorgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER

A new report from the New South Wales Nurses and Midwives Association has revealed the alarming rates of racism and discrimination experienced by Aboriginal and culturally diverse healthcare workers. - Isiniwalat ng bagong ulat ng New South Wales Nurses and Midwives Association ang nakakabahalang antas ng racism at diskriminasyon na nararanasan ng mga Aboriginal at mga healthcare workers mula sa iba't ibang kultura.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Amy Wilding. Amy is a Red Tent Keeper, Women's Circle Facilitator, and author of the beloved Wild & Wise, and the forthcoming Period of Change: Welcoming Your Daughter's Period with Care and Confidence, launching March 2026. Through her embodied, earth-honouring rites of passage work, she guides women into deep connection with themselves and each other - especially through the sacred threshold of menstruation and womanhood. Amy has been leading circles, retreats and initiatory experiences for over a decade, helping women reclaim ancient feminine wisdom in modern ways. In this episode, we explore how menstrual shame has been passed down through generations, and how women can begin to unlearn it by returning to the sacredness of their bodies. Amy shares the story of how her own healing began after loss, opening her to the wisdom of her cycle, and ultimately leading her to become a guide for others. We speak about the power of the Red Tent, why sisterhood matters, and how women can move through shame and reclaim the initiation they never received. Amy also offers a deeply resonant introduction to the archetype of the Menstrual Midwife – a guide for mothers, daughters, and a place within every Secret Witch ready to reclaim her magic through her womb. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Menstruation was once sacred - the original root of the word ‘ritual' literally comes from our sacred bleed Shame about menstruation is inherited - it's passed down when mothers don't question the stories they were told. The most radical thing we can do is re-educate ourselves about our bodies - and then give that truth to our daughters Our bodies are not dysfunctional - we're just living in a culture that doesn't understand cycles. Our cycles are not symptoms to fix - they are rhythms to remember If we didn't receive the initiation that we needed into our first bleed, we can still offer it to ourselves. It's never too late - we can go back and offer our inner little girl a sense of safety The Menstrual Midwife within each of us is the one who holds the threshold of transformation - with reverence, not fear We don't need to get it right. Our daughters and children don't need perfect mothers - they need honest ones.

Send us a textFeeling emotionally drained, cynical about your work, or lacking professional fulfillment? You're not alone. Burnout affects healthcare providers at staggering rates, with midwives facing unique vulnerabilities due to the intensity of our profession.Drawing from personal experience and evidence-based strategies, in this episode, Cara and Missi unpack the differences between burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress while offering practical tools to rebuild resilience.  We explore the four pillars of resilience that sustain midwives through challenging times: connection with supportive community, establishment of healthy boundaries, development of self-compassion practices, and reconnection with purpose and joy. These foundations help counteract the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization that characterize burnout.While individual coping strategies matter, we emphasize that burnout isn't just a personal failing—it's often systemic. Midwives deserve workplaces that protect their wellbeing through adequate staffing, reasonable expectations, and supportive policies. Those in leadership positions have a responsibility to advocate for these changes.Our top ten resilience strategies provide actionable steps you can implement immediately: giving yourself permission to rest, advocating for your needs, continuing to learn, debriefing after difficult experiences, keeping visual reminders of your "why," moving your body, protecting your sleep, creating post-shift rituals, setting boundaries, and finding your people. Remember that a thriving midwife provides better care—your wellbeing matters not just for yourself, but for all the families you serve.What resilience practice will you commit to this week?

What if the birth certificate was never for your baby—but a tool of control used by the state?In this episode, I sit down with Veda Ray, a freebirthing mother of two, who chose to walk a path most women never even consider: birthing and raising her second child completely outside the system. No pregnancy test. No monitoring. No birth certificate. No social security number.After her first birth at a birth center, Veda knew she wanted something different. This time, she listened deeply—to her body, to her baby, and to her own intuition—and what she heard was clear: this child was to be born free.We go deep into the realities of living outside the system, including how she navigated the legal terrain to secure a passport without government-issued ID, why she believes the birth certificate is a jurisdictional trap, and the spiritual responsibility of saying no to the state's contracts.Inside this episode:What really happens when you don't get a birth certificate or Social Security number for your childThe process Veda used to get a passport without a state-issued IDWhy a “family Bible” can hold legal weight in proving lineage and identityHow the social security number binds your child into the U.S. corporate systemThe link between freebirth and reclaiming jurisdiction over your body and familyWhat it's like to raise a child who has never been registered by the stateThe unseen cost of outsourcing authority—and what you reclaim when you stopTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:01] Choosing radical self-trust after rejecting the medical model[09:21] Learning to sit in the unknown and trust yourself through freebirth[22:54] Rethinking the birth certificate as a contract with the state and choosing a sovereign path instead[26:08] Creating private records to get a passport without a birth certificate[36:47] Using private trusts and EINs as alternatives to social security numbers and state contracts[52:44] Facing fear, claiming trust, and birthing in full sovereignty with family by your sideResources Mentioned:The Business of Being Born | MovieIf you want to connect with Veda, you can find her website here, and follow her @veda.revival.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

What is sacred birthing? How does a mother follow her instincts while having past trauma and fears? How can we support birthing in today's world of over intervention and AI? What does mother and baby really need?  Special Guest Episode: Sunni- "At 10, I told my mother that I was going to deliver babies when I grew up. In 1979, I founded The Lancaster Waldorf School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. For the next 6 years, I taught kindergarten and found that these very young children, ages 3-6 were already wounded. This was a surprise to me, and soon I was shown that these wounds were formed in the womb in the period from conception, thru birth, and was also directly related to the child's birth trauma. Since 1987 I have been a Past Life Therapist of the Netherton method. This is a method of resolving beliefs, phobias, and patterns of stress in the present, by using past lives as source material. This modality has accomplished great equanimity in the emotional responses of my clients. Past life therapy again directed me to become a midwife since I ‘discovered' that birth contains the seeds of all patterns in adult life. In the process of resolving my very traumatic, near-death birth, I was unknowingly pushed me toward my life's passion. Since 1994, I have been a practicing Midwife, helping parents to understand the importance of pregnancy and birth and how it affects the entire life of their child. I have delivered many babies in a way that supports and allows their vast consciousness to be accessed as a newborn and child. When birth is gentle and non-traumatic to the physical and emotional body, only then is the highest consciousness maintained. I am the author of Sacred Birthing, Birthing A New Humanity. This is a work that addresses newborn trauma, but more importantly, how NOT to create trauma at birth. It includes a handbook for parents and midwives to accomplish this end. Please see:www.sacredbirthing.com. In 2005, I taught workshops in New Zealand and Australia to help resolve birth trauma in adults. 6 workshops in various cities were held, teaching about and helping them re-experience their birth, in order to understand the connection to the patterns within their lives today. I am a grandmother of 6, the children of my 2 deliciously different son and daughter."

In this episode I'm chatting to Anna about the birth of her 2 little boys. She shares how much she enjoyed pregnancy and the healing effect it had on her relationship with her body. After going into spontaneous labour shortly before 40 weeks, her baby was born via c-section due to concerns around his heart rate and whilst this wasn't what she'd hoped for, she still found the birth to be really positive and amazing. Anna was hoping to experience a vaginal birth second time around and threw herself into preparing for that, but for various reasons ended up having a repeat caesarean. She talks us through how different she found the planned c-section, finding acceptance with letting go of the VBAC she was planning and the importance of really kind and understanding care providers.   Anna's IG: https://www.instagram.com/annaolewistrounce/ My website: www.serenalouth.com My IG: https://www.instagram.com/serenalouth/

Choosing the right doula, midwife, or birthkeeper for your birth journey is more than just credentials and experience — it's about alignment.

Think of it as creating your own little soul-led checklist — from practical things to deeper “how-do-you-hold-space-for-me” kind of vibes.And we couldn't talk about choosing the right person without pulling the Trump Card — your intuition. That quiet inner knowing often speaks louder than any resume. We'll share how to recognize those yes/no feelings and what to do when logic says one thing, but your gut says another.Whether you're birthing at home, in a center, or in a hospital, this episode is your reminder: you deserve to feel safe, seen, and sovereign in your choices.Grab a cup of tea, bring your journal, and let's explore how to find your people for this sacred chapter.Interested in knowing the difference between a doula, birthkeeper and Midwife, listen hereLast one week to apply for the extended Free GuideLink for the Free Childbirth Guide  Support the showSign up for Childbirth Preparation Programs! visit https://birthagni.com/services#childbirth-preparation-programs https://birthagni.com/copy-of-services#breastfeeding-preparation-program This episode is supported and made possible by podcast recording and hosting tool Zencastr, it is impeccably made!

What would you do if you had to give birth in the middle of a war? In this episode, I sit down with Natalia, a Ukrainian mother of two, to hear her incredible story of freebirthing her second child during the 2022 Russian invasion. After one homebirth, Natalia chose to walk an even more radical path with her second—preparing to give birth without medical support, while bombs dropped around her and sirens became part of daily life.What's most striking is that on the day her son was born, the chaos paused. For the first time in weeks, there was silence. A stillness descended over her city, allowing Natalia to give birth in a sacred bubble of peace amidst the war. A divine mercy.We speak candidly about what it was like to prepare for a physiological birth during trauma and survival mode. We explore how she tended to herself postpartum while navigating a broken system that refused to acknowledge her birth. We talk about stopping her hemorrhage, the bureaucratic battle to register her baby, and the heartbreaking search for breast milk when her body struggled to produce.This conversation is a living testament to maternal instinct, spiritual resilience, and the unshakable power of sovereign birth—even in the most unimaginable of circumstances.Inside this episode:How Natalia prepared for freebirth while her country was under siegeThe eerie silence that fell over her city as she birthed her sonNavigating postpartum hemorrhage alone—and what she did to stop itHer struggle to obtain a birth certificate in a system that denied her realityWhat it took to find donor breast milk for her newbornThe spiritual strength and sovereignty required to give birth during warTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[12:14] The beginning of a wild pregnancy and the realization that she would give birth alone[16:42] Preparing for a freebirth as war begins[21:19] Fleeing home as war erupts during late pregnancy[26:16] Giving birth in the middle of war and finding unexpected peace[32:33] Facing postpartum hemorrhage and delivering the placenta[44:53] Struggling to register a home birth during war and navigating survival choicesResources Mentioned:The Power of Women by Sister MorningStar | BookSister Morningstar | WebsiteIf you want to connect with Natalia, follow her on Instagram and visit her website.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

Meal planning and preparation services can enhance the doula support options you provide to clients. However, doulas must consider regulations, logistics, and business implications before jumping in. Understanding the difference between meal planning and meal preparation is essential. Each service offers unique benefits for families. It is critical to understand the local cottage food laws and regulations in your community. These rules directly affect how and where meals can be prepared. It is also important to weigh the pros and cons of preparing meals in a client's home versus preparing them in your own when legality is not a factor in this decision. Tax implications, such as transaction privilege tax, are another factor to consider. These details can significantly impact the pricing and profitability of the meal services you offer. Join us for a practical conversation that explores opportunities, responsibilities, and business realities when offering meal planning and prep services.

In this episode, Jordan, a 28-year-old midwife from rural South Australia, shares her two incredibly positive birth experiences at the hospital where she works. Living 600 kilometres from Adelaide in the tiny farming town of Port Neill, Jordan navigated the unique experience of birthing alongside her colleagues whilst balancing her partner's demanding harvest schedule. Her first labour was a marathon 31-hour journey that tested her resolve, whilst her second was beautifully swift and powerful. Jordan's story beautifully illustrates the mind-body connection in birth, the invaluable support of the TENS machine, and how subsequent births can offer completely different but equally empowering experiences. Sponsor: I rarely talk about supplements on here - mostly because so many aren't backed by real evidence, and as someone who's always reading the fine print, I'm pretty selective about what I'll share with you. But every now and then, something stands out. Mother Dose by Land Lab is one of those rare finds that cuts through all the confusion. What has really impressed me is that it's been formulated by doctors, dietitians, and naturopaths - every single ingredient is there for a reason, backed by evidence and aligned with current prenatal guidelines. It includes the good stuff like choline for baby's brain development, folate in its most active form, and a clinical dosage of ginger that's actually proven to help with morning sickness. Over 50 health professionals have peer-reviewed the formulation, and they all said the same thing - it's an amazing blend that delivers the kind of care every woman deserves. And here's what I love even more - through their charity arm, they provide completely free prenatals to women with an Australian healthcare card. Whether you're pregnant, trying to conceive, Mother Dose takes the overwhelm out of choosing a prenatal. Check out Mother Dose at land-lab.co - thoughtfully dosed, high quality prenatal care when you need it most.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From a young age, Sophia felt a powerful calling to support babies entering the world. By the time she became pregnant with her first child, she was already deep into her midwifery training, and ready to welcome life, both professionally and personally. She gave birth at home, surrounded by care and familiarity, with a trusted colleague by her side. But soon after her son arrived, it became clear that something wasn't right. He was quickly diagnosed with VACTERL, a rare and complex combination of birth defects. At just 36 hours old, he underwent his first surgery — the first of many. When Sophia became pregnant again, she hoped for a smoother path. But her second baby was breech, leading to a cesarean birth and more unexpected complications after delivery. Through both of these challenging journeys, Sophia learned to navigate the medical system with resilience and grace, finding her voice as a mother and an advocate, not just for her children, but for others walking a similar path. Sophia Henderson is a certified home birth midwife and host of the Born Wild Podcast. With over 16 years of experience, she blends traditional wisdom and evidence-based care to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Passionate about reproductive autonomy and the transformative power of birth, Sophia creates calm, connected spaces for families to welcome their babies in safety and love.  Find Sophia on Instagram @sophiabirth and @bornwildmidwifery  Born Wild Midwifery Born Wild Podcast If you love the show, I would greatly appreciate a review on  Spotify or Apple Podcasts!  Follow me on Instagram @healingbirth Do you have a birth story you'd like to share on the podcast, or would like to otherwise connect?

This episode is a part of the homebirth around the World Series. In this episode I chat with Paul Golden. It was a fantastic conversation and I urge women and midwives alike to listen. Paul is a travelling midwife, who has supported women all over the world, but he is also well known in the birth and human rights space. We talk about Paul's journey to midwifery and his study of the law and how this has led to him becoming one of the most highly regarded midwife mediators in the world. We touch on topics such as bodily autonomy, representing your self, protecting your practice as a midwife, what could be called witch hunts of midwives, criminalisation of doulas and so much more. It is a particularly relevant episode for women, families and midwives, no matter where you are in the world. Resources: Keeping Midwives Safe: Helpful legal advice, actions and templates by Paul GoldenPaul's interview with Eva Rose"This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that Indigenous women are at increased risk of mental health problems across the perinatal period, particularly depression, anxiety, and substance misuse.

In this episode host Shiphrah sits down with Jessica Arnold—better known as The Combat Midwife. From growing up with a calling to catch babies, to serving as a firefighter, paramedic, and military Combat Medic instructor, Jessica has forged a one-of-a-kind path in birth work.She shares her journey from witnessing her mother's VBAC and traumatic hemorrhage as a child, to teaching life-saving skills in the army, to blending EMS training with midwifery wisdom in both civilian and disaster settings. Jessica opens up about why VBACs hold a special place in her heart, how resourcefulness and quick thinking translate across emergencies, and why every family—not just midwives—can benefit from basic birth and survival knowledge.We also dive into her Combat Midwife workshops and OB kit, created to prepare families and communities for emergencies, and discuss how midwifery and EMS share surprising historical roots. Whether you're a birth worker, parent, or simply curious about resilience in the face of the unexpected, this episode is full of insight, grit, and inspiration.

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!

In this video, our global Lead Pastor, Pastor Tope Okodugha teaches that the word "Pangs" goes beyond physical pain-it represents spiritual pangs, the deep discomfort and dissatisfaction that signals something is about to happen. She indicates In this video that, the journey of pregnancy is used as a metaphor for spiritual birthing, revealing how God prepares His daughters to bring forth destiny.She also explains the categories of women in the Spirit:- Women unaware they are spiritually pregnant but already carrying signs.- Women who know they're pregnant but are not paying attention.- Women progressing through all spiritual trimesters.- Women in labour, going through the early and latent phases before it's time to push.- Women in active labour, the most painful stage, where the Holy Spirit steps in as the Midwife to help deliver successfully.The enemy desires stillbirths-through distraction, impatience, and lack of depth—but God's will is that you birth what He has placed within you. She concludes by indicating that the end goal is safe delivery. Fix your eyes on Him, wait until you're fully processed, and you will bring forth what the Lord intends.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Jessica Arno, also known as The Combat Midwife. Jessica is not only a midwife, but also an EMT who has trained military personnel on how to respond to emergencies involving women and children. In fact, she was personally headhunted by the Army to teach combat medics her expertise. In this episode, Jessica shares her powerful story of advocacy, beginning with her own mom's near-death experience during a VBAC in the hospital. From a young age, she saw firsthand how the system was failing women, and she knew she never wanted to be part of the medical system that was causing harm. We talk about the practical side of ‘what if' scenarios in birth, and Jessica gives some much-needed encouragement for women whose husbands may be hesitant about homebirth. This conversation is going to leave you feeling more prepared, more confident, and more supported in your journey.

The second Trump Administration has brought with it an unprecedented attack on migrants, led by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) focused on people who are living in the United States without formal documentation. In this conversation we talk with Alexandra Pineros Shields - a long term community organiser, immigrant rights campaigner and researcher about how communities are fighting back to defend the rights of migrants and change how policing is done.This conversation explores Alexandra's history of organising and building strategy to make change, as well as the kinds of innovative tactics being used by communities to combat ICE. She runs through techniques like power analysis and shows how a practical understanding of different dimensions of power can help build effective strategy. She talks about the power of communities using prefigurative action - where they model what the state should be doing - as a way to tell a story to make change more compelling.This episode is a deep dive into what you might have seen on the news - it is a reassuring and inspiring reminder that even in the face of repression and abusive of power, there is also power in community to respond and make change.In the podcast a few different organisations are mentioned, here is where you can find out more:John Gaventa - When Alexandra teaches she asks students read chapter 4 from The Miner's Canary.

She was supposed to care for and nurture new life, but instead, she delivered death. In post-war Tokyo, Miyuki Ishikawa—one of the most prolific serial killers in Japanese history—was a respected midwife, trusted by desperate mothers and overwhelmed families. But behind her professional smile lurked something incredibly depraved. Over the course of several years in the 1940s, Miyuki deliberately allowed over 100 infants in her "care" to die of neglect, starvation, and hypothermia. Then, she charged grieving parents for the privilege of secretly killing their babies. When the truth finally came out, Japan was horrified, and the case ignited legal reforms that still reverberate today. PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION.

Send us a textIn this powerful first installment of our conversation with Certified Nurse Midwife Amie Hernandez, we unpack what really happens during emergencies at a home birth — from shoulder dystocia and “big babies” to cord prolapse, small pelvic bones, whether or not a C-section is truly necessary, the wild inaccuracies of sonogram weight estimates and how fear-based decisions are often made around numbers that simply aren't reliable..Amie shares how the art of using hands in midwifery is fading in modern obstetrics, and how birth is not only physical, but sacred — a holy moment where the veil is thin and God's presence is undeniable.Whether you're preparing for birth, healing from a past experience, or simply curious about what birth looks like outside the system, this conversation will challenge, ground, and encourage you. Join us for Part 1 this week and part 2 next week!

Miracle story ahead! This episode with Carol was fascinating! God truly cares about women and the process of birth.  We are in a time in history where women are realizing the deep need to trust God over their midwife, the medical system, even their own knowledge and intuition. God wants to be invited into ever detail and moment of your birth! For the midwives out there listening, may you be encouraged that you answer to a higher power than your license, the State or the medical system. Praise Him that you are a vessel to be used by our Almighty Savior and friend.  I hope this episode encourages you as you prepare for or attend births. To God be the glory. Connect with Carol: midwyf@gmail.com  classicalmidwifery.com gentlebirths.net **Get 100Euro of off your ticket to the Classical Midwifery Conference in Crete, Greece when you use the code "PODCAST" "good patient" caused her to stay quiet, go along with the system, and ultimately watch her dreams for birth slip away. But this time? She chose a different path. Through my program, Haley prepared for an HBAC — a homebirth after cesarean — and not only did she have a beautiful, redemptive homebirth, but she did it with the full understanding and wisdom of both sides of the coin — as a nurse and as a mama standing in her authority. We also dive into the complicated emotions that can come up when you work inside the medical system, but choose something different for yourself. Her story starts with her waters breaking early — what the hospital often labels as "premature rupture of membranes" — and how that moment could've easily led her down the same old cascade of interventions… but because she was prepared and supported, she stayed home, stayed confident, and brought her baby into the world in the way God designed. It's such a powerful conversation, especially if you're navigating fears after a c-section or feeling tension between your job in healthcare and your personal birth choices.   LAST DAY TO APPLY FOR THE DIVINE DESIGN HOMEBIRTH RETREAT: Kissimmee, FL  Sept 5th-8th, 2025 CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS & TO APPLY   if you're looking for ongoing support and mentorship, I'd love for you to apply to the Peaceful Homebirth Collective — my signature group coaching program where we go deep into radical responsibility, brain rewiring, and faith-based preparation for birth and postpartum.

Midwife and Paramedic Jessica Arno, the Combat Midwife, returns this week to talk focus on pediatric emergencies in the disaster environment. She and the Disaster Podcast team talk about unique challenges facing responders who encounter sick and injured kids.

Working with clients who hold status, whether they are medical providers, influencers, politicians, or public figures, can present unique opportunities and challenges for doulas. Supporting high-visibility clients while maintaining the same standards of care, boundaries, and intent you offer every other family may not come as easily as you think. While there are potential benefits of these connections, there can also be stumbling blocks. It can be tempting to hope for public praise or referrals from influencers, but doulas must not bank on that exposure or let it influence their role. Confidentiality is non-negotiable, and these clients deserve the same privacy, respect, and space to be vulnerable without fear of judgment. Join us for a candid and professional conversation about supporting clients with influence, while staying grounded in ethics, integrity, and the heart of doula work.

In this week's episode, Augustine connects with fellow midwife and world traveler, Allison, for a deep and expansive conversation about what it really means to live at the edge of reality—whether supporting births or crossing oceans. From an unexpected career shift out of accounting to midwifery school in New Zealand, and from practicing in Canada to captaining a sailboat across the Pacific, Alison shares how curiosity, courage, and midwifery magic have shaped her wild and winding path.This conversation is part of a larger theme we've been exploring this month in our ongoing webinar series Midwifery on the Move where we explore what it really means to live a mobile midwifery lifestyle. We've been talking about the beauty, the complexity, the ethics, and the practical steps to working around the world.✨ If this episode sparks something in you, know that it's not too late to join the webinar and explore what traveling midwife life might look for you.
