As we wrap up this incredible first season, I’m excited to share something deeply personal and close to my heart: my birth story. This journey into motherhood has been transformative in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I’m honored to take you behind the scenes of one of the most defining moments of my life.

In this episode, I’m opening up about:
✨ The emotions and mindset leading up to labor and delivery
✨ What went according to "plan" and what didn’t (because God does His own thing)
✨ The role my support team played in creating a positive experience

Whether you’re preparing for your own journey, reflecting on your birth experiences, or supporting a loved one, this episode is a reminder of the strength and beauty we carry as women—and the importance of feeling supported every step of the way.

*note: I experienced prodromal labor, which is common but not the typical length of labor. Have you ever heard of or experienced it?

Are you ready to take control of your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience? In this episode, we’re talking about the importance of creating your dream birth team—the people who will walk with you, advocate for you, and support you every step of the way.

Too often, we rely solely on doctors or midwives without realizing that building a well-rounded, supportive team can make a world of difference by decreasing the likelihood of falling through the cracks. Let's round everyone up because the right team can turn an overwhelming experience into one that leaves you feeling empowered and cared for.

Here’s what we’re covering in this episode:

• What exactly is a birth team, and why it’s so important for YOU.
• The key players to consider adding to your team
• How to find people who align with your values and birth vision.

Your birth experience matters, and it starts with the team you surround yourself with.

Sis, let’s talk about it. Pregnancy and postpartum can be beautiful, but let’s be real—it can also feel lonely. You might feel like no one gets what you’re going through, but I’m here to remind you: you’re never alone.

This episode is inspired by the powerful song Another in the Fire originally by Hillsong. Those lyrics hit different when you’re walking through the challenges some of us face in pregnancy, birth, or postpartum. The song reminds us that even when it feels like we’re in the fire, underwater, or powerless - God is right there with us, holding us steady.

Here’s what we’re breaking down:

• The reality that some may feel alone in such a vulnerable season of life
• How Another in the Fire speaks to God’s presence in our toughest moments
• Real ways to invite God into your journey as you navigate the ups and downs

In this episode, join me as I speak to the real-life challenge of letting go of our plans and leaning into God's timing, inspired by Proverbs 19:21 (NLT): “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” Whether it’s about when we want to start a family, how we imagine birth, or the dreams we have for motherhood, we often hold on tight to our timelines. But what happens when life doesn’t go the way we hoped?

In this episode, I’m getting personal and sharing the WHY behind this podcast. I delve into the reality of the maternal mortality rates in the U.S. — especially for Black women. I also address the history of childbirth in America to see clearly the transition over time. Ultimately, the hope of Jesus motivates me to lean into the Lord through prayer, but also to get out there and do the work of educating and supporting families for redemption and God’s glory!

In this episode, I dive into the powerful message and lesson we learn from Philippians 4:6-7 and explore how these verses can guide us through the challenges and uncertainties of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Whether you're an expectant mother, new mom, an OG mom, or even hoping to be a mom - it's easy to feel overwhelmed by worries and stress, but God's word invites us to replace anxiety with prayer and trust. May this awareness of God's promise when we replace worry with prayer & petitions and help you to apply this scripture to your journey, embracing God's peace during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period

Keywords: Philippians 4:6-7, Message translation, pregnancy anxiety, birth preparation, postpartum peace, Christian motherhood, faith in pregnancy, overcoming stress, motherhood journey, applying scripture to birth, Christian doula
