    Episode 13: Redeemed in the Delivery Room: Worship and God’s Presence in Childbirth
    Feb 4 2026
    In this deeply moving episode of the She’s Rooted Life Podcast, Talia sits down with birth doula and student midwife Julie Vasquez to explore the intersection of faith, birth, fear, and loss. Together, they discuss traumatic birth experiences, miscarriage, surrender in labor, worship during childbirth, and how God redeems even the most painful stories. This episode offers hope, theological grounding, and compassionate presence for anyone navigating pregnancy, birth, or grief. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of traumatic birth experiences and pregnancy loss. Blog Post: Redeemed in the Delivery Room: Worship and God’s Presence in Childbirth After my first pregnancy ending in miscarriage and my first birth experience being traumatic, pregnancy and birth carried a lot of trauma & fear. By the time I was pregnant with my third baby (I got to hold in my arms), my body already carried the memories. High blood pressure. Inductions. Miscarriage. Trauma that didn’t disappear just because time passed or another pregnancy came. Fear lived in my nervous system, not just my thoughts. So when I found myself four weeks from my due date, carrying both hope and anxiety, I prayed a very simple prayer: Lord, I just want Your presence. I want peace in the room. That’s when Julie came to mind. I had never met her before. I barely knew her name. But I reached out anyway. Four weeks out. No plan B. And she said yes. What I didn’t know at the time was that God wasn’t just answering a logistical prayer. He was preparing redemption. Julie is a birth doula and a woman deeply anchored in the Lord. She didn’t come in with control or promises. She came with presence, wisdom and peace. She had such a deep understanding of birth that felt radically different than what I had known before. One of the most important things Julie shared in our conversation was this: birth is about surrender. Not passivity or denial of pain, but surrender. Pain doesn’t mean something has gone wrong. Pain means something is being produced. At 38 weeks, we discovered my son was transverse, positioned sideways in my womb. For many, that diagnosis immediately leads to fear and talk of a C-section. And I was ready to surrender to whatever needed to happen. All that mattered to me was safety. But Julie reminded me that the body and the baby often know what to do. Through prayer, chiropractic care, and trust, my son turned. But even after that, fear lingered. Fear from past loss & trauma. This fear that lived was deeper than logic. Julie talked about how fear affects the body during labor. When we are tense, labor is harder. Longer and more painful. But when we feel safe, seen, supported, oxytocin flows. Love flows. Peace becomes possible. When my water broke naturally, I labored at home as long as I could. And when I needed space, quiet, and containment, we went to the hospital. That room became holy ground. There were candles. Soft lights. Worship music. A nurse who understood. A midwife who loved Jesus. And a doula who gently reminded me to praise. I remember singing through contractions. Crying out to God. Choosing worship in moments where everything in my body wanted to brace or fight. And something shifted. Pain didn’t disappear. But fear loosened its grip. That birth was not just the arrival of my son. It was redemption. I got to experience natural birth for the first time, no induction like my other two and no epidural that I still carry the impacts of with my first. Julie later named it what I felt but couldn’t articulate at the time. A “redeeming birth.” One where what had been stolen before was restored. Where worship replaced fear. Where God met me not after the pain, but in it. Not every birth looks like that. We talk about that too. Julie shared her own story of pregnancy loss. The shock, grief and unanswered questions. And the sacred permission she was given to grieve fully. Loss leaves attachment pain. And attachment pain doesn’t respond to explanations or theology alone. It needs presence. Someone willing to sit with you and not rush you through it. As Christians, we don’t grieve without hope. But we still grieve. And sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is sit with someone in their sorrow and say nothing at all. This conversation reminded me that joy and grief can coexist. That God does not waste pain. That worship doesn’t deny suffering, it transforms it. Birth mirrors life in so many ways. The waiting. The endurance. The not knowing how many contractions are left and the surrender required to move forward. But on the other side, there is life. And in the middle and all around from beginning to end, there is Jesus. Welcome back to the She’s Rooted Life Podcast. Today’s episode is a tender and sacred conversation about birth, fear, worship, loss, and the redemptive presence of God in some of the most vulnerable moments of our lives. Before we begin, I want to offer a gentle trigger ...

  • E12: A Faith You Can Breathe In: When Obedience Becomes Peace with Bethany Joy

    E12: A Faith You Can Breathe In: When Obedience Becomes Peace with Bethany Joy
    Jan 28 2026

    What if obedience was never meant to be rooted in fear, shame, or self-protection?

    In this episode of the She’s Rooted Life Podcast, Talia sits down with Bethany Joy for a deeply honest conversation about obedience, attachment, shame, and healing. Together, they explore how early spiritual formation, trauma, and insecure attachment shape the way we relate to God, and why obedience feels impossible when we don’t feel safe.

    This episode unpacks:
    • how shame distorts obedience
    • why self-protection blocks intimacy with God
    • the impact of attuning to our body in spiritual healing
    • obedience as an outflow of secure attachment

    Rather than obedience as performance, this conversation reframes obedience as listening, attunement, and trust. It is an invitation into healing, safety, and a faith that integrates body, soul, and spirit.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with obedience, perfectionism, or fear in your relationship with God, this episode will meet you with compassion, clarity, and hope.Connect with Bethany:

    E11: Attachment Pain, A Culture Addicted to Distraction, & the Lost Skill of Quieting w/Jen Coursey
    Jan 21 2026

    In this conversation, Talia interviews Jen Coursey, Executive Director of THRIVEtoday, speaker, brain skills trainer, and cocreator of Thrive Training, to explore why distraction, busyness, and coping habits have replaced true joy in our lives.

    Together, they unpack the Life Model concepts of quieting, attachment pain, and BEEPS, the behaviors, events, experiences, people, and substances we use to temporarily escape emotional pain. Jen shares her own journey of learning how to be still, how relational skills are formed and strengthened, and why joy must be practiced in safe, mutual connection.

    This episode also addresses church hurt, relational maturity, and how faith communities can move beyond theology alone to embody the character of Christ through emotional regulation, repair, and presence. A hopeful and practical conversation for anyone longing for deeper connection with God, others, and themselves.Connect with Jen & ThriveToday at:
