  • REPLAY: The Way of the Hearthmother

    REPLAY: The Way of the Hearthmother
    Dec 10 2025

    We're re-playing some of our favorite episodes during the month of December, and today that's the episode that ended up becoming the launching pad and scaffolding for some of our most important work in the world: the Way of the Hearthmother.

    Given to Lauren as a sort of "Holy Spirit download" years ago, this episode is the first time she spelled it all out in detail for our listeners (and for Brooke). It's made such an impact on our listeners in the past, and is making such an impact on our students. We can't wait for you to hear it.

  • Nicole :: Risked Out, Lifted Up - A Christ-Centered Freebirth After Gestational Diabetes

    Nicole :: Risked Out, Lifted Up - A Christ-Centered Freebirth After Gestational Diabetes
    Nov 26 2025
    In this powerful episode, we sit down with Nicole (@nicole_keilani)—a mother of three, former New Ager transformed by Jesus, and now a devoted birthkeeper—whose birth journey will encourage any mom navigating fear-based labels or “high-risk” diagnoses.After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes and risked out of midwifery care, Nicole found herself facing medical pressure, limited options, and the familiar “you can’t have a homebirth” narrative. Instead of surrendering to fear, she turned to Scripture, her husband’s leadership, deep research, and the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit.What followed was a beautiful, precipitous freebirth at home, free of complications and full of God’s presence. Nicole shares what she learned about trusting God over protocols, the wide spectrum of maternity care—from hospitals to homebirth to unassisted birth—and how this experience inspired her to become a birthkeeper and now an HJ student preparing for her fourth homebirth.This episode is rich with faith, courage, personal responsibility, and a reminder that your provider should serve you, not the system.Links:Little Lamb Birth ServicesBirth circle rsvp:Pregnancy & Postpartum Gathering RSVPConnect:Email us to say hi: ⁠⁠holywildbirth@gmail.com⁠⁠Put in a request for future topics and/or submit a question for future Q&A episodes: ⁠⁠Fill out the form⁠⁠Apply to tell your birth story on the podcast: ⁠⁠Holy Wild Birth Podcast : Guest Application⁠⁠Hang out with us and other Holy Wild Women in our private community (off Facebook): ⁠⁠Rooted in Eden PMA⁠⁠Become a holy, wild birthkeeper with us inside ⁠⁠Hearthmother Journey⁠⁠From Lauren:⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠Midwifery consults: Email ⁠⁠rootedinedenpma@gmail.com⁠⁠From Brooke:⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Trust God, Trust Birth Workshop⁠⁠ - a 5-part high-level roadmap to a confident home birth (pay what you can)⁠⁠Faith-Filled Home Birth Workshop ⁠⁠- a free, 3-part video series delivered to your inbox⁠⁠Embrace Birth Journey ⁠⁠- comprehensive and holistic faith-based home birth preparation (courses + private community)Intro and Outra Music Credit -Betty Dear By ⁠⁠Blue Dot Sessions⁠⁠ is licensed under a ⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠.
