#63 | Overcoming Infertility, Mold, and Fear to Birth in Power
What happens when you’re told you’re infertile, exposed to toxic mold, living in constant stress—and still believe for a miracle?
In this powerful episode, Karen sits down with Ashlee Rowland, a Christ-centered nutritionist and wellness educator from @simplholistic, to share her incredible journey from infertility and illness to a pain-free, breech homebirth—all while living in a mold-contaminated house.
This is more than a birth story—it’s a testimony of God’s faithfulness, a lesson in trusting your intuition, and a raw look at the realities of anxiety, postpartum, and walking through the fire with Jesus by your side.
Tune in to hear:
- How Ashlee went from infertility and autoimmune diagnoses to a thriving pregnancy
- The jaw-dropping moment her midwife realized the “head” was actually something else
- How she delivered her frank breech baby in runner’s lunge with zero tearing
- Why she didn’t feel pain, even during the ring of fire
- What it's like to live in toxic mold while pregnant—and still have a healthy baby
- How God showed up in the chaos to bring peace, clarity, and strength
- The difference between anxiety and intuition (and how she learned to tell the two apart)
- Why postpartum spiritual warfare is real—and what helped her stand firm
- Practical tools Ashlee used to regulate her nervous system and heal emotionally
- How surrender, faith, and affirmations shaped her birth and postpartum experience
- A powerful prayer for any mama walking through fear, anxiety, or hardship
