In this inaugural episode, host Kim Marie, a birth and postpartum doula, pediatric sleep specialist, childbirth educator, and lactation consultant, introduces a sacred space created to educate, empower, and restore confidence for women navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Rooted in faith, evidence-based care, and real-world advocacy, this episode breaks down why “just having a baby” is no longer enough—and why informed consent, preparation, and support matter now more than ever.

Kim Marie unpacks:

• What Womb & Word truly represents—life, intuition, vulnerability, and God’s Word

• The realities of maternal health today, especially for marginalized communities

• Why advocacy in the labor and delivery room is essential (and not confrontational)
• The B.R.A.I.N. framework for making empowered medical decisions

• Common advocacy traps families fall into—and how to avoid them
• The vital role of doulas in improving birth outcomes and protecting maternal wellbeing

This episode is a wake-up call and an invitation—to slow down, ask questions, trust your body, lean into faith, and reclaim your voice in the birth space. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum
