Into The Birth Room is a faith-rooted, woman-honoring podcast where stories are held sacred and birth is remembered as holy ground. Hosted by birth workers Sydney Hagan of Untamed Birth and Nichole Smith of ReWild Birth Collective, this show explores the fullness of pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and motherhood—through undisturbed stories, honest conversations, and ancient wisdom. While we love a good birth story and share them often, this podcast goes deeper: we talk about holistic and herbal support, spiritual preparation, sovereignty in the system, the partner’s perspective, midwifery, loss, healing, and the real, raw beauty of birth as it was designed to be. Whether you’re preparing for birth, healing from one, or walking with women through these sacred thresholds—you’re invited to pull up a seat into the birth room. 🕊️ Monthly episode drops 🎧 Available on Apple, Spotify, & YouTube 🌿 untamedbirth.com @untamedbirthkeeper | rewildbirth.com @rewildbirthcollective

    Episode 007 | Her Birth As Worship: Birth Met Worship, Truth Reclaimed Love

    In this tender and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Zach and Shelby, high school sweethearts and parents of five. We walk through the holy ground of their birth stories and the quiet strength of their marriage. From a hospital birth, to a redemptive home birth, a romantic birth center birth, the grief of miscarriage, and a final unassisted birth steeped in faith and worship… they’ve truly done it all.   Together, we explore themes of trust, redemption, loss, and the transformative beauty of surrender—to God, to each other, and to birth. Zach shares how he stepped into the sacred role of birth keeper, supporting Shelby with strength and unwavering presence. Shelby opens up about what it meant to truly let go, invite God into the center of her marriage, and then her birth, and to be held body and soul by the one she loves. This is more than a birth story. It’s a powerful testimony. A window into devotion, healing, and holy transformation.     Beloved Beginnings: Shelby Russell | belovedbeginningsnc.com | BelovedBeginningsNC@gmail.com   Untamed Birth LLC: untamedbirth.com | instagram.com/untamedbirthkeeper | sydney@untamedbirth.com   ReWild Birth Collective: rewildbirth.com | instagram.com/rewildbirthcollective
