  • Beyond Disappointment:: Birth Trauma

    Beyond Disappointment:: Birth Trauma
    Jan 21 2026
    Birth is good.And birth is not tame.Birth is holy and wild. It is powerful, unpredictable, and not something we can fully control or make “safe” in the way modern culture often promises. When we forget that, we can be left confused or unprepared for how deeply a birth experience might impact us—even when everything looks fine from the outside.In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between disappointment and trauma in birth. Disappointment often comes from unmet hopes or expectations. Trauma goes deeper. Trauma is a deeply distressing experience—or series of experiences—that overwhelms the nervous system and leaves a lasting imprint on the body, the mind, and our sense of safety.And trauma is not defined by what happened on a chart.It’s defined by how the experience was received in the body.We talk about why it’s so important to process hard or intense birth experiences, and why this work should be done with someone who understands both birth and trauma. Not someone who rushes to silver linings or spiritual bypassing—but someone who knows how to sit with the body’s story and help it integrate what happened.We share supportive tools that can help the nervous system come back into regulation, including:Bilateral stimulation (EMDR, binaural tracks, walking, brainspotting, butterfly hug/tapping)Shaking and gentle movement to release stored stressEFT / tappingSimple supports like nourishment, warm baths, flower essences, rest, and deep gentleness with yourselfWe also touch on surprisingly practical tools like playing Tetris in the early aftermath of a hard experience, which has been shown to support memory integration.This conversation includes pieces of our own stories:Lauren’s interrupted third stageBrooke’s manual placenta removalBoth moments where necessary intervention still left an imprint that required care, time, and compassion to heal.We also talk about prevention—how having the right team, realistic expectations, and emotional support can cushion the wildness of birth. Birth does not need to be controlled to be held well. But it does need to be witnessed, respected, and supported.This episode is an invitation to approach birth honestly:to honor it as good, holy, and life-giving—and to acknowledge that its wildness sometimes leaves tender places that deserve gentleness, care, and wise support.Connect: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.

  • Be The Crazy Ones:: A Conversation About Vasectomy Reversal w/ Cody and Carlee Fletcher

    Be The Crazy Ones:: A Conversation About Vasectomy Reversal w/ Cody and Carlee Fletcher
    Jan 14 2026

    In a world where birth is often defined by medical intervention and fear-based decision-making, Cody and Carly Fletcher’s story offers a powerful return to trust—trust in God, in the body, and in the natural design of birth.

    In this episode, Brooke Collier sits down with Cody and Carly as they share their journey from hospital births to home birth, and the unexpected path that led them there—including a vasectomy, a canceled appointment, and ultimately, a vasectomy reversal prompted by a clear conviction from the Lord.

    The couple experienced eye-opening moments around informed consent, intervention, and trust in the birth process. Their preparation culminated in a transformative ten-hour home birth, marked by peace, confidence, and joy unlike anything they had experienced before.

    Carly also opens up about surrendering control in family planning, trusting Cody’s leadership, and walking through the faith-filled decision to reverse the vasectomy—an act of obedience that bore fruit not only in their family, but in their marriage and walk with God.

    This episode is an honest, hope-filled conversation for anyone wrestling with surrender, fear, obedience, or the belief that it might be “too late” for God to move.

  • Cup of Tea:: Christmas, Conviction, and What We’re Building Next

    Cup of Tea:: Christmas, Conviction, and What We’re Building Next
    Jan 7 2026
    In this episode, we’re settling into the slower, more reflective rhythm of the Christmas season and pushing back on the cultural pressure to rush ahead into “new year” mode before it’s time.We talk through the Christmas traditions and observances in our own families and churches, and why honoring the full liturgical season matters—especially in a world that’s always eager to move on too quickly. Along the way, we unpack why January is not actually the new year, and how reclaiming sacred time shapes the way we live, worship, and build.We also address recent developments within MAHA, including a response to Abigail Iovine and why it’s important to stay informed and engaged. If you’ve been wondering how to take action or understand what’s happening behind the scenes, this conversation provides context and next steps.Finally, we share an update on what’s coming next for us, including the launch of a brand new website—with more features and resources being added slowly and intentionally over the coming months.Nate Bargatze Nativity ComedyA Nate Bargatze Nativity Scene | Nate Bargatze’s Nashville ChristmasAbigail Iovine’s Position Statement & Organizational Endorsement Form👉 Take action hereNew Website Launch🌿 hearthmotherministries.com(More sections and features will be added gradually over the coming months)Connect:Email us to say hi: hello@hearthmotherministries.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)Sister Birth: The Podcast - short, beautifully scripted episode to encourage your along the wayIntro and Outra Music Credit -Betty Dear By Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under a Creative Commons License.
