Episode Description
What happens when you’ve been told your body “can’t” birth vaginally… and then God writes a different story?
In this episode, Karen sits down with Audrey Stinson, a mom of four, who went from believing she would never experience a vaginal birth to having not one, but two redemptive home births—the last being completely pain-free.
Audrey vulnerably shares her journey through two cesareans, the heartbreak of feeling her body was “broken,” and the desperate prayers that led her to invite God fully into her birth story. With the support of her doula, a faith-filled mindset shift, and leaning deeply on God’s presence, Audrey discovered strength, redemption, and joy in birth that she never imagined possible.
Tune in to hear:
- The limiting beliefs that often follow cesarean birth—and how faith can rewrite them
- How prayer and preparation paved the way for a redemptive VBAC at home
- The integral role a doula played in supporting Audrey and empowering her husband
- The difference between “intensity” and “pain” in labor
- How inviting God into every part of pregnancy and birth can transform the experience
- Audrey’s pain-free birth story with her fourth baby and how she walked away with an even deeper faith
