014 / I Almost Became a Single Mom of 3: The VBAC Story That Changed My Marriage, Motherhood & Faith

This week’s episode is unlike anything I’ve shared before. We’re talking about the parts of postpartum motherhood that rarely make it online: the disconnect, the loneliness, the strain on marriage after children, and the quiet search so many women find themselves in after becoming mothers. I’m sharing pieces of my own story — including a rare VBA2C birth after two emergency C-sections, postpartum separation, rebuilding a relationship that I thought was over, and the unexpected faith journey that changed everything for me. This episode explores: postpartum marriage struggles motherhood and identity loss reconciliation after separation faith, healing, and forgiveness choosing repair over “starting over” rebuilding trust after conflict and what happens when postpartum cracks open every part of your life Whether you’re walking through tension in your relationship, processing your own birth story, navigating early motherhood, exploring faith, or simply feeling overwhelmed by this season of life — I hope this conversation makes you feel less alone. And while this episode is only loosely connected to elimination communication, it is deeply connected to the heart behind this podcast: connection, listening, healing, and learning to build strong families in a culture that often tells us to walk away instead. ✨ If you want ongoing support and real conversations about motherhood, postpartum life, EC, relationships, and family rhythms, you can join us inside The Listening Circle community.
