According to Bridget

Homebirth is like Crossfit...

Ask me how I know ;) Welcome to my very first weekly voice memo/phone chat! I’m opening up question boxes on Sundays over on the ATB instagram, and often times get repeat questions. I thought I’d answer them in a “phone call with a friend” style format. This week I’m answering the Q: “I’m a first time mama about to have a home birth, give me your best tips!” Homebirth is one of my favorite topics so, LOL at me saying a 5-10 minute voice memo knowing FULL WELL I would go over that. Anyway. Hope it helps <3 This is a public episode.

Ep 32: Dr. Peter Howard on the Canonization Effort for Venerable Fulton Sheen

Dr. Howard dives into the greater implications of what this means for the Catholic Church, and explains why Venerable Fulton Sheen is a man for our times.

Ep 31: How to Handle Medical Freedom Conversations with Family & Friends

Micaela Darr has taught me pretty much everything I know about informed consent, how to handle it with grace, and how to fight for our parental rights. Today we discuss how, or even if, to have these conversations with grace. We also dive into a Catholic POV look at abortion tainted vaccines, and what the Vatican says about our options.
