Grieving another loss. Sitting in the silence after praying your heart out.

What do you do when you’re longing for a child and God feels silent?
In this Monday Mindset episode of Birthing in Faith, we’re holding space for the quiet, painful places in the journey to motherhood; especially for women in the trying to conceive (TTC) season or facing the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.

When the prayers feel unanswered and hope starts to fade, you’re not alone. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

✨ How to respond when God seems silent during your fertility journey
 ✨ Lessons from Hannah and Sarah - what their waiting seasons teach us
 ✨ The difference between God-centered questions and self-centered spirals
✨ Why it’s okay (and biblical!) to lament and cry out to God
✨ The importance of bringing your pain into community, not isolation

If you’ve ever whispered “why me?” through tears, or felt forgotten while others announce baby news, then this episode will meet you in that space with truth, grace, and hope.

]]> Buzzsprout-17699473 Tue, 19 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400 1539 2 full false The Power of a Lactation Consultant on Your Birth Team (Even If You’re Not Breastfeeding) The Power of a Lactation Consultant on Your Birth Team (Even If You’re Not Breastfeeding) Breastfeeding (or not breastfeeding) is one of the most personal choices you’ll make as a mother and one of the most challenging parts of the postpartum journey for many women.

In this episode of Birthing in Faith, I’m breaking down why a lactation consultant is such an important member of your birth and postpartum team, even if you’re unsure about breastfeeding, planning to formula feed, or somewhere in between.

From navigating latching issues and milk supply struggles to offering judgment-free education and support, lactation consultants are here to empower you through one of the most vulnerable parts of early motherhood.

We’ll talk about:
 ✅ What a lactation consultant actually does (and doesn’t do)
 ✅ The benefits of having one before and after birth
 ✅ How they can support women who choose not to breastfeed
 ✅ How to find the right lactation consultant for you
 ✅ Tips for using insurance to cover lactation support
 ✅ Why this role is about more than milk — it’s about confidence

Whether you’re planning to breastfeed, pump, formula feed, or a combination, this conversation will help you feel prepared and supported in your choices.

As our bodies and our brains change, it shifts how we see ourselves, the world, and even our faith. But often, we don’t have language for that change.

In this powerful episode of Birthing in Faith, I’m joined by Yodit Kifle Smith, a mom, writer, minister, and the heart behind MamasPrayTalkCare and Called to the Ones. We're diving  into the concept of matrescence - the gradual unfolding that creates a new version of you in motherhood.

Yodit shares how her personal journey through motherhood led her to discover deeper layers of calling, surrender, and faith. We also talk about how her ministries create safe spaces for mothers to process, pray, and feel seen in the middle of the often-unspoken emotional shifts that come with parenting.

What We Cover in This Episode:

✨ What matrescence means and why it matters
✨ The beauty and complexity of becoming in motherhood
✨ How MamasTalkPrayCare supports mothers in every stage of the journey
✨ The mission of Called to the Ones and how God uses motherhood to refine us
✨ Encouragement for anyone who feels like they’ve “lost” themselves in motherhood

Whether you’re a new mom, deep in the postpartum trenches, or a woman just beginning to explore what motherhood might mean for you... this conversation will remind you that you are still becoming, and you are still called.

A hype woman? A birth guide? Just another person in the room?

The truth is, doulas play a powerful role in the birth space, but there’s still so much misunderstanding about what they do, and how to find the right fit for your birth team. As a labor and delivery nurse, I’ve seen the difference a great doula can make. But I’ve also seen the tension that can happen when doulas and providers aren’t working together.

In this episode of Birthing in Faith, I’m sharing an honest conversation about:
✨ What doulas actually do (and what they don’t)
✨ Why doulas are especially valuable for Black women and families
✨ The red flags to look out for when choosing a doula
✨ How to find the right doula for YOUR vision and values
✨ Why we need a real shift in how doulas are integrated into the birth team

This isn’t about choosing between your provider and a doula, it’s about building a team that respects you, sees you, and knows how to work together to support you fully.

That “if it’s going to be, it’s up to me” mindset might feel empowering at first, but over time, it leads to exhaustion, stress, resentment and feeling like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. But I wanna let you know - Jesus didn't die for that!

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✅ Why rest is holy:  not just something you earn after working yourself to the ground
✅ Why we, as Black women, need to rest: who are often expected to be strong no matter what
✅ How to release control: in practical and spiritual ways

Motherhood, birth, and life in general come with too many unknowns, and that's exactly why you CAN'T do it all alone. Let’s talk about what it looks like to move forward in faith without the burnout.

In this episode of Birthing in Faith, I sit down with Doula Kirstie Foley of Powerful Peace Doula to unpack the concept of supernatural birth—what it is, how she personally experienced it, and how she helps other women prepare for a Holy Spirit-led birth experience.

✨ What “supernatural birth” really means (let's make it plain)
✨ How she felt God moving during her pregnancy and labor
✨ Why she became a doula and how she supports women to trust in the power of God throughout pregnancy, labor and birth
✨ Her new book and how it can help you invite the Spirit into your birth journey

Joy, uncertainty, excitement, and sometimes even doubt. But Psalm 139:13-16 reminds us of something powerful: God knew you before you were even formed, and He was intentional about creating you. The same is true for your child or the children you long for.

In this episode, we're breaking down what it means to be fearfully and wonderfully made and how this truth can ground us in the ups and downs of the motherhood journey. Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, facing infertility, navigating pregnancy loss, or raising your babies, this scripture speaks LIFE.

Here’s what we’re covering:
✨ How Psalm 139 reassures us in our motherhood journey
✨ What it means to trust that God’s design for you—and your baby—is intentional
✨ Encouragement for Black women who feel like we have to hold the world
✨ Why embracing God’s sovereignty brings peace, even in uncertainty

Pregnancy and postpartum can be beautiful, but let’s be real—it can also feel lonely. You might feel like no one gets what you’re going through, but I’m here to remind you: you’re never alone.

This episode is inspired by the powerful song Another in the Fire originally by Hillsong. Those lyrics hit different when you’re walking through the challenges some of us face in pregnancy, birth, or postpartum. The song reminds us that even when it feels like we’re in the fire, underwater, or powerless - God is right there with us, holding us steady.

Here’s what we’re breaking down:

  • The reality that some may feel alone in such a vulnerable season of life
  • How Another in the Fire speaks to God’s presence in our toughest moments 
  • Real ways to invite God into your journey as you navigate the ups and downs 

Listen to the Song:
Hillsong (Original) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScK3v5gcBK0

Scripture References:

  • Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego - Daniel 8:3-25
  • Moses at the Red Sea - Exodus 14:21-29
  • Jesus' Death, Resurrection and the Holy Spirit's Descent - Mark 15:37-39, Mark 16:5-7, Luke 24:6-7, Acts 2:1-4

Whether you’re a first-time mom, deep in the postpartum haze, or simply feeling unseen in this season, this episode will encourage you to find hope and strength in God’s promises.

In this episode, I’m getting personal and sharing the WHY behind this podcast. I delve into the reality of the maternal mortality rates in the U.S. — especially for Black women. I also address the history of childbirth in America to see clearly the transition over time. Ultimately, the hope of Jesus motivates me to lean into the Lord through prayer, but also to get out there and do the work of educating and supporting families for redemption and God’s glory!

RESOURCE LIST ON THIS TOPIC

Keywords: Black maternal health, birth support, midwives, home birth, faith in pregnancy, birth education, Black women’s health, pregnancy empowerment, trusting God in birth, Christian doula, family support.

Join me as I dive into my “why” behind this podcast and why it’s so important to stand up for better birth experiences for all moms!

Welcome to this space where faith and culture collide. I'm your host, Imani and I'm detailing why I launched this podcast and what you can expect in the future. 

The heart behind this is truly to create a space where I saw there was a gap. It was tough to find content specific to the Black Christian experience. Although we are not a monolith, someone needs to start speaking and that's my intent behind this show. 

Look out for mostly interview episodes with a few solo shows, highlighting Black Christian mothers and birth professionals sharing their stories. What a beautiful way to fight the Black maternal health crisis in this country - with our voices and our joy!
