Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I'm sitting down with returning guest Dr. Victoria Adeeb—a pelvic floor therapist who just delivered a 10-pound baby unmedicated with no tearing—to hear the full story of how she prepared physically, emotionally, and spiritually for what she calls her "dream birth."But here's what makes Victoria's story so powerful: even with all her professional knowledge and preparation, her journey required deep surrender, spiritual wrestling with waiting on God's timing, and learning that His sovereignty is both tender and trustworthy—especially when birth doesn't unfold on your timeline.Whether you're preparing for an unmedicated birth, feeling overwhelmed by all the "what ifs," struggling with the waiting season past your due date, or simply needing encouragement that God is present in every contraction—this episode will meet you right where you are with honesty, hope, and practical wisdom.In this episode, Victoria shares:🙏 Her spiritual journey from not wanting children to surrendering to God's calling to motherhood 💪 How she prepared her pelvic floor and deep core for nearly 2 years before pregnancy (and what she'd do differently) ✝️ The emotional and spiritual prep work her doula assigned—and why it was the hardest part ⏰ Going past 40 weeks and learning to trust God's timing when everyone expected baby early 🕯️ Laboring at home with worship, prayer, and her husband reading Scripture over her during pushing 👶 The sacred moment her 10 lb 2 oz son was born at 7:25 AM—a "wink from God" she didn't see coming 💔 Her honest postpartum reality: breastfeeding struggles, pelvic floor symptoms, and learning to rest (even as a professional) 🦋 Why grace abounds when the ideal isn't realized—and how that's transformed her work with clientsScripture Shared: "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
