Episode Details

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Lydia Kauffeld—Catholic wife, mother, and labor & delivery nurse—shares the story of her two very different births and the profound journey of surrender that shaped them.

From a long, exhausting first labor to a redemptive, peaceful second birth, Lydia opens up about navigating unmet expectations, trusting God’s plan, and discovering what it truly means to prepare both physically and spiritually for birth.

She also shares her unexpected journey through endometriosis, infertility, and restorative reproductive care, offering hope to women walking a similar road.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that birth is not just physical. It’s deeply spiritual, and often becomes a true school of trust.
