    #14 | Rebirth from Freebirth: Dr. Sarah’s Empowering Journey to Birthing HER Way

    #14 | Rebirth from Freebirth: Dr. Sarah’s Empowering Journey to Birthing HER Way

    In this episode…

    Birth Educator, Mother, and Chiropractor, Dr. Sarah Leahy shares with Karen how her confidence in her body’s ability to birth was shaken after her first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, which led to her first birth resigning to the pressures of medical intervention and ending in an unwanted traumatic c-section. 

    She went on to have a life-changing freebirth (unassisted) completely on her own terms with her second, and then an empowered home birth with midwives for her third. 

    Dr. Sarah’s radically unique birthing experiences set her on a passionate path to advocate for informed choice and educate women everywhere that it’s the medical system that’s broken, not them!

    #12 | Beautiful One Midwifery Answers: What Makes Homebirth Safe?

    In this episode…

    Karen meets with licensed midwives Kelly and Tiffany of Beautiful One Midwifery to discuss all things homebirth and what midwifery care should truly look like. 

    As holistic health advocates and fierce lovers of the family and all things home, this passionate duo focuses their practice on alternative care that puts control back into the hands of the women they serve, providing integrative knowledge, natural resources, and sisterly inspiration for women to own their birth journeys. They love coming alongside busy moms who are looking for a more personalized approach to holistic pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

    We dive into some FAQs we've been aching to answer for you, such as:


    For whom is home birth actually safe?
    What about insurance options? Isn't home birth expensive?
    What conditions are preventable and what will risk me out of care?
    What constitutes a  “variation of normal” vs. a true complication or emergency?

    …and LOTS more!

Nicole Neesby Episode

I’ve listened to almost every episode, but the episode with Nicole Neesby absolutely rocked my world. I recently miscarried after 3 healthy pregnancy and resonated so much with Nicole’s story. This podcast is 10/10 & can’t recommend it enough

Gottadance92 ,

So good!

I first found pain free birth on instagram and am so excited there is now a podcast! The principles Karen teaches really had an influence on my birth experience! She helped me not fear or expect pain in my birth. I always just took it for granted that it would be and I can say for the most part it wasn’t painful and it wasn’t in any way traumatic. I got the easy home birth I always wanted! I wish every women could know that birth is not inherently painful or something that has to be managed for you in most cases!

Tanya Mik ,

Love this podcast!

Let me just say that finding out this Karen started a podcast, I was just so excited to listen to it. I was looking forward to it! I’m taking the pain free course and it was the best decision I ever made!!! I would recommend it to every pregnant girl! I’m due in April and praying that I will have a pain-free birth, baby would be born peacefully and healthy and that everything goes well.
