   1. EP 90 \ Newborn Transition to Life on the Outside: How To Make It Smooth and Beautiful

   SHOW NOTESKinda like with birth, if you listen to people around you, you probably think that the newborn period is a traumatic time of screaming babies and nobody sleeping much. Babies are either colic or teething or allergic to this or that or won’t sleep at night.  It can sound pretty scary. But what if I told you that all of that is something that is very true to who they are and who they have always been — they are trying to adjust to something so very different than all they’ve ever known….

   2. EP 89 \ Change Your Language & Change Your Birth: 3 Mindset Shifts That Will Transform Your Pregnancy & Birth

   SHOW NOTES:Have you noticed this terminology that pretty much everybody uses about birth?  The doctor said I “had to”.  I asked the nurse if I “could”.  They wouldn’t “let me”.  Do you hear that?  There’s a structure here that puts “THEM” above you…..and yet it’s YOUR birth.  YOU hired THEM to be there.  I wanna talk to you today about how a simple change in your mindset can transform the way your birth goes. Inside this episode, you’ll learn 3 things that are going to empower you to make strong

   Many of you have struggled since listening to my series on circumcision back in January with knowing how to make sense of the current circumcision situation in our country and how that relates to the Old Testament biblical mandate for circumcision.  I got an email from one of my listeners that shed some new light on the topic that I think will help you, so today I'm sharing with you what she shared with me.  I hope this helps you.  Let me know what you think.Previous episodes on circumcision: Ep

   SHOW NOTES:Pregnant women are not sick.  Pregnant women are NORMAL and they should be treated that way.  But 90% of women choose to see obstetricians for their pregnancies.  Obstetricians are trained surgeons. We can't be surprised when surgeons act like surgeons.  This episode dives into the risks women take when they decide to see an OBGYN for their normal pregnancy. Helpful Links: HOW TO WORK WITH LORI: --> Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!

    SHOW NOTES Home birth is safe for most moms, no matter what the naysayers try to scare you into believing.  However, for a small percentage of women, the hospital may be a safer environment because of the type of care they need or their baby needs.  This episode looks at conditions that may indicate it is safer for mom to give birth at the hospital.  Of course, as with all situations, this is simply one opinion and you should always consult with your own birth attendant.    Helpful Links: 2 WAYS

    A large portion of the emails I get from you revolve around issues stemming from c-sections. Some moms want to have a VBAC, but they can't find a practitioner or hospital who will support their choice. Others have been scared into thinking cesarean sections are safer than vaginal births. No matter what the issue, the fact that a third of births in the United States happen in the OR is a big problem and it leads to the issues that cause mamas to need me or someone else to help them have the care

That cord has been the baby's lifeline, pumping oxygen and nutrients in, and processing waste products back out to your body to get rid of. After birth, its job is seemingly over....but not so fast....there's a reason to let it hang in there just a little bit longer and today we're going to talk about why. This episode will compare immediate cord clamping and delayed cord clamping.  We'll look at the physiological eff

    Are you ready for a challenge?  For too long, Christian women have had their focus skewed by fear from the world which has caused their faith to get off track even if they don't fully realize it.  Inside of this episode, I challenge you to really take a deep look at where your faith lies.  This episode may step on your toes, but my aim is not to offend you but to help you focus on God, the One who designed you AND designed your baby perfectly.  He knows you better than any person on this planet
