✨ Download The FREE Speedy Birth Blueprint Here🕊  The DIY Doula Guide For Catholic Moms🕊  Join The Holy Confident Birth CourseEver wonder why birth in America feels so rushed? Or why it so often seems like the hospital just wants to “get you delivered” and move on?In this chatty, slightly historical episode, I dig into the deeper roots of modern birth culture — and how ideas like Marxism and the industrial revolution quietly shaped the system we now call “normal.”This isn’t just about hospital policies or rising C-section rates. It’s about the worldview that sees mothers as inefficient, pain as something to medicate away, and birth as a business transaction rather than a sacred, redemptive process.We’ll talk about how birth left the home, how midwifery was demonized, why suffering in labor became pathologized, and what all this says about the deeper cultural view of motherhood today.If you’ve ever sensed that something’s off in how we approach birth — you’re not crazy. And the history behind it might surprise you.Listen in and be reminded: you were never meant to be a cog in the system. Birth isn’t just physical. It’s holy.Resources:🕊️ FREE LABOR POSITIONS GUIDE: https://holyconfidentbirth.myflodesk.com/labor-positions-guide🕊️ THE HOLY CONFIDENT BIRTH COURSE WAITLIST: https://holyconfidentbirth.myflodesk.com/waitlist🧺 SHOP MY MOTHERHOOD FAVES: https://holyconfidentbirth.com/linksBe assured of my prayers as you prepare for one of the most powerful experiences of your life.
