“I wish I could give this podcast ten stars!
My husband actually introduced me to the Happy Homebirth podcast when he shared Katelyn’s interview with Hilda on Wise Traditions. (Thank you, hubby!)
That episode ignited a fire in me to learn all that I could about childbirth because, to be honest, birth scared the heck out of me. I knew I wanted a family and I knew that, if I did give birth, I’d want it to be completely natural, but the labor process painted in my head by the world sounded too unbearable to be humanly possible. Especially in moments when you show a response to a minor physical pain, like a cut, and everyone’s reaction is, “yeah, good luck in childbirth”. (Thanks, mom *thumbs up*)
I dove headfirst into the magical world of Happy Homebirth and became OBSESSED with learning all that I could about natural childbirth. Katelyn is a phenomenal interviewer; she asks questions that allows the stories to unfold so beautifully and connects so well with each of her guests. I have been binging this podcast, squeezing every last drop of knowledge from other women’s experiences until there came a point when I found myself actually looking forward to giving birth! It’s amazing how education and the truth can completely demolish our fears.
I have now listened to every single episode and what was once a “someday”, or even at times, a “never gonna happen” response has now transformed into a squealing, over the moon excited “I cannot wait!”. Without question, we will be planning a homebirth and I feel so ready for that time, when it comes (hopefully soon!). What’s more, is that I get to look forward to sharing my birth story with the Happy Homebirth Podcast community and have an opportunity to speak into other women’s lives who might be living with the same fears I was.
Thank you, Katelyn, for all you’re doing to evangelize the homebirth gospel and make more crunchy mama converts of women, like myself!”
