First of all, I love listening to Lori because it always feels like sitting with a friend. Sometimes I listen just to have that sweet company!l and Christian fellowship while I drive or clean up the house. But most of all I love her faith combined with her knowledge/experience. She is exhaustive in her topics on natural birthing from nutrition, to breastfeeding, and so much more. If there is something you want some info about, it’s probably here somewhere. And, if you want a humble and super informed podcaster to listen to regarding natural birth this is it!! Ugh love it!

Thank you Lori! I’ve been so encouraged and have learned so much as we prepare to welcome baby boy #3 here in just a couple of weeks. I have chosen homebirth this time around and hearing your perspective and God’s design for birth has been so helpful as I’ve tried to keep my mind focused on Him and seeking to obey Him and follow His best through this pregnancy and impending birth. For other listeners- I will say Lori is very committed to homebirth as the best option in most circumstances, and understandably, chooses to present her audience with information from that perspective. If you want a natural hospital birth, there is still so much to glean from this podcast, but not all the episodes will be for you. She is passionate about assisted home birth because she has seen both sides of the coin and clearly expresses how much better things can be when we get out of the way and surrender to God’s design and plan for pregnancy and birth. As much as I’ve learned about birth and pregnancy, I’m most grateful for the episodes Lori has that are full of biblical wisdom and encouragement, that focus solely on remembering and trusting our good and gracious God in all of life and choosing to do the best we can for our families and our babies for His glory!

Lori has a great way to express the best way that God designs us. She also helped me look into better forms of insurance (or well, it’s not called insurance), better ways to birth naturally, and many more things. She also helped me see that it is okay to have a hospital birth. I am pregnant with my first child and am preparing for a natural birth at the hospital. The hospital is known to be a good hospital and I know someone that works in the maternity department. I will also explore the hospital details and my husband it able to help me advocate for myself. I hope in the future I can home birth, but right now my house is too small and I’d be more confortable with my first child to have hospital access. Anyways, I will say that Lori has a lot of commercials which does both me a bit. Great informative podcast, though.

Hello Lori, thank you so much for creating this podcast. It has been such a blessing! I was hoping that we would be able to do an episode on the topic of having pregnancy and going through that after having a miscarriage and just trusting God and your body. My first pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage then I had a successful pregnancy that resulted in a perfect baby boy. I also used your birth course during that pregnancy and it was so helpful and amazing! I am now currently 7 weeks pregnant and still struggling with the fear of losing this baby due to the first miscarriage. Thank you so much for all your help and wisdom!

I am HOOKED. I have searched and searched for a platform that unapologetically and boldly addresses truth in all aspects. Lori encourages you to critically think about the subjects she presents in order for you to make the most informed decision. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are the beacon of light and hope so many people need. Blessings to you and your family.

I was looking for a Christian podcast to learn from throughout my pregnancy and am horrified that a podcast like this exists. It pushes the idea that if you don’t have an all-natural pregnancy and birth then you aren’t following God’s will for this season of your life, which is an incredibly harmful ideology to spread. Lori’s messages shame women who trust the medical field in any sense- whether she means them to or not. The Biblical references she pulls are misunderstood and cherry-picked at best; and deceitful and malicious at worst. It seems like Lori was hurt by her past job in the medical field, and this podcast is her way of projecting her bad experiences on others. I am ESPECIALLY horrified that these messages are being pushed with Christian “backing”. Please, Lori, if you continue this podcast I BEG you to drop the “Christian” perspective you think you’re teaching. Shaming and scaring people is one awful thing, but shaming and scaring people under the guise that “Christ agrees with me” (he doesn’t!) is absolutely wicked. I will actively make sure that no woman in any of my communities listens to this podcast.

So thankful a friend sent this to me. Pregnant with my 3rd right now and having some negative news in an ultrasound and this podcast has strengthens my faith and confidence in my body to birth! Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Thank you for the podcast. I recently found it after two empowering unmedicated births and a growing interest in becoming a doula. My youngest is 12 months and I wanted to share that episode 125 has been very eye opening about metabolic health. I have since purchased a pedometer, cleaned up my diet and have added more movement into my day. While I haven’t consistently gotten to 7,000 steps-10,000 steps a day, I have been challenging myself to simply get more than my usual in. I have found it difficult with a baby and toddler to get out the door for a 15 minute walk after meals. Instead we have been doing family dance parties usually with worship music. It has been such a great way to get my heart pumping, add more steps into my day and worship our Lord at the same time. Thank you for the podcast, I have been able to share it with my husband who also loves birth as well as a friend. Blessings!

This is my second pregnancy. My last pregnancy, we lost our baby in the second trimester. I used to put so much faith and trust into the medical system. Until they failed me in many ways. This podcast has reminded me that the Creator has a plan for the little one he’s creating in my womb. He has made a way! I love the fact that Lori backs up everything she says with scripture. She also gives you the information and facts, and allows you to come up with your own conclusions. I find comfort in listening to her podcasts, and being more informed. Thank you for doing this line of work Lori! The Lord is using you in so many big ways.

I have been scavenging through podcasts relating to pregnancy/postpartum/breastfeeding as this is my first pregnancy and I want to be informed. First off, I love that it’s a Christ centered podcast. Her background from being on both sides (medical field and midwife field) really gives her great insight and unique perspectives. I have learned a LOT from this podcast and have been binging this show for the last few weeks now. It is wonderful to be reassured that you are in control of your birth, even in a hospital setting you can still have a birth plan. I will be recommending this show to allllll the pregnant mamma’s I know. Thank you Lori for stepping up and out to help support other women (and their husbands!) during a journey that changes so fast, but is so precious. Keep going! 🥳
