Hosanna's Birth Story: Freebirth With Jesus

In this episode I share about conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with my third living baby, Hosanna. I was led by God to have a birth without a provider present, fully trusting in Jesus to be with me and guide me if I should seek out any additional support, which we did in some ways, including having a precious midwife come after the birth to assess baby and I, and help my husband clean up. This is the story from start to finish!! It's already 9 months + since her birth and I am still in awe of how beautiful it was. I pray it blesses and encourages you to follow Jesus in every area - even if it seems crazy to the world. He is faithful!

In this episode, I share my insights on the importance of mindset in motherhood and daily life. I talk about how simple objects, like coffee mugs, can serve as reminders of faith and strength.

Back to Simple Obedience: A Heart Shift, Not a Step Back

I am so excited to sharing this with you all today. In this episode of the Simple Obedience podcast, I share my journey of personal growth and transformation as a mother and podcaster.

I talk about the shift I’ve felt—moving from focusing solely on birth to embracing a broader conversation around personal growth, faith, and encouragement for women. I open up about the power of simple habits, what it means to surrender to God’s will, and how I’ve found deeper compassion through challenging moments. This episode marks a new direction for the podcast—one that I pray will inspire and uplift you as you walk out your own journey of faith and motherhood.
