In today's episode I have the absolute JOY of interviewing my friend and mentor Brittany McCardle of the Biblical Birth School.
Brittany is a wife, mom to *almost* 7, a childbirth educator, certified doula & founder for the Biblical Birth School -- a certification organization which trains & equips birth workers with a robust education on all matters of birth through a CHRISTIAN perspective.
I have completed Brittany's Childbirth Educator program and am currently enrolled in her Doula appointed program -- and let me just say, her programs are terrific. Thorough, FILLED with resources, book lists, community with like-minded, aspiring birth workers & ongoing, attentive support from Brittany herself.
Cannot recommend her or her programs highly enough.
We cover a WIDE variety of topics today like:
- What does the Bible say about eating your placenta
- Family planning & birth control
- What to do if I feel called to birth work but also feel woefully ill-equipped
- What does it look like to trust God in choosing your birth location
- How to represent Christ well when we speak about ANY topics (but obviously birth-specifically) on social media
- And more
It's a mixed bag. I'm here for it & I hope you are too!
