What happens when a traumatic first birth becomes the catalyst for two radically pain-free, God-filled home births? Today’s episode is a powerful testimony of redemption, physiology, faith, and a mother reclaiming her God-given authority in birth. 

In this conversation, Karen sits down with Sara Gilboy, a mom of three from Toronto, Canada, who experienced a deeply traumatic first home birth during COVID-complete with medical coercion, fear, hemorrhage, separation from her baby, and months of postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts. But Sara refused to let that be the end of her story. She returned to birth armed with knowledge, prayer, physiological understanding, and a fierce sense of ownership that transformed her next two births into supernatural, pain-free, joy-filled experiences.

 Tune in to hear:

• How Sara's first home birth turned traumatic and why she “felt the fear through her uterus”
• The spiritual battle of intrusive thoughts and how she learned to take each one captive
• Why “knowledge is power” completely changed her second and third births
• How she created two entirely pain-free births using physiology, relaxation, and faith
• What she told her midwives the second time that changed everything (“This is the birth I’m going to have…”)
• Her children worshipping and praying over her during labor
• The moment her pelvic floor “parted like the Red Sea”
• How God replaced her disappointment with joy instantly during her third birth
• The connection between birth trauma and postpartum mental health
• Why understanding your physiology is essential no matter where you give birth
