    Attend a Home Birth With Us!

    Ever wish you could attend a home birth with Lauren and Brooke? Well, in this episode, you'll get a taste of that experience. Full disclosure: we ourselves would also love to attend a birth together, but with states between us we haven't been able to. We wrote up a hypothetical home birth scenario for a fictional character named Josephine, and in this episode, we walk you through how we'd apply the steps of The Way Of The Hearthmother from the moment we get called in, through the labor and birth, and the immediate postpartum. Whether you're an aspiring or current birth attendant, or an expectant mama, we hope this gives you some practical and applicable tips for applying these beautiful principles to labor and birth.

    Unschooling Starts At Birth

    Ok, so maybe you wouldn't expect to hear a conversation on Holy Wild Birth about the educational choices we've made for our kids. It doesn't seem immediately relevant, we know. But it is. Because we got requests for this, we're going to passionately get on our soapboxes about the beauty of the unschooling lifestyle and it's benefits for children. And then we're going to bring it home by tying it in with autonomous, undisturbed childbirth AND the pathways we take to becoming birth workers, too. As promised, here are some of our favorite resources of learning more about the unschooling life. To learn more about Hearthmother Journey and get on the waitlist for early enrollment in the October 2024 cohort, go here.

    To use, or NOT to use [Our Tools]; That is the Question.

    In this episode we discuss finding the balance of showing up in a birth space with skill and confidence while also respecting the process enough to not disturb it with unnecessary interventions. Its not always the easiest thing to navigate the use of our "handy dandy" tools/skill sets but we do believe that some times doing nothing is the very something that we ought to be doing, while also having the wisdom to reach in to our tool bag when the moment deems it necessary. We hope this discussion gives you some food for thought and practical advice on navigating this question.

    Lauren :: The Story of Willow & Wren (Part 1)

    In this very special episode, our very own Lauren Hall shares a very personal story -- the story of the birth of her twin girls, Willow and Wren on Palm Sunday 2024. She begins at the very beginning -- even before the beginning -- by telling the story of her son Levi, the born-too-soon twin of her daughter Leela, followed by the story of the Lord opening her heart to conceiving a baby... and then eventually learning there was actually TWO babies. Throughout it all, you'll be blown away by all the highly personal and tenderly caring ways that the Lord worked in Lauren and her family's hearts and lives. After you finish this episode, find Part 2, available tomorrow. This episode was recorded while Brooke (who resides in Michigan) stayed a week with Lauren (who resides in Arkansas) during her postpartum time. We don't get to record together in person very often, and it was so great! Also: as a fun bonus, now through April 28th ONLY Embrace Birth Journey -- Brooke's comprehensive Christian home birth preparation course library -- can be snagged for $50 using the code TWINS. Go to sisterbirth.com/journey for more info and to enroll with lifetime access. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/holy-wild-birth/support

    Katie :: Wildnerness Birth & Big Family Life

    This episode with the beautiful Katherine DeGroot -- a MN mama to 4 young children all born outside the hospital -- covers not only her four birth stories (with a special emphasis on the 4th) but also went down some delightful rabbit trails, which I did NOT edit out because I believe you'll find them very worthwhile to listen to. Some of what we covered: How each birth was a different “era” for her relationship and family Being open to life The foreshadowing and significant dreams she expereinced leading up to her fourth birth   Why hard isn’t bad — not shirking away from pain The “cost” of castor oil use The fourth baby effect  Reclaiming Big family culture for our generation  The way that home birthing puts us on a different health trajectory  Creating - -by design-- the childhood you want your children to have Reverting  to Catholicism  Radical trust in God alone for the work no one else can do for you  The gift of birth is that it strips us down to our humanity  You can find Katie at @katherinelouisedegroot on IG or on her website. A written version of her 4th birth story is on her blog.

    Staci :: Birth is for Everyone

    In this conversation with Staci -- a midwest mom to five -- you'll hear about themes like: How she learned to trust herself and authentically know her own preferences  Having a mother who bcame a midwife after she had grown up The slow evolution from being people who would never be crazy enough to have their babies at home to ultimately choosing unassisted birth for their fifth baby Her process of choosing birth attendants and a photographer for her unassisted birth Wrestling with God over the timing of the start of her labor and ultimately choosing a new attitude, which led to release The difference it makes to have no other perceived authority present during labor Her moment of mentally deciding -- even in the absence of some physiological signs -- that birth doesn’t need to be long and it was time to push the head out How God saw and honored so many of her very specific desires  Why she believes birth like this is the birthright of every woman You can find Staci at www.StacisHouse.com Birth Story Disclaimer The choices, beliefs and opinions of the mamas sharing their stories are as individual as the storyteller herself and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs or recommended choices of Lauren and/or Brooke.
