Grace in the Growth is all about sharing powerful, real, and raw birth testimonies — the kind that leave women feeling empowered, informed, and transformed.
Our mission is to seek out women who need to tell their story and be SEEN.
We will be diving into birth stories with REAL women. We will be discussing medicalized births, free births, unassisted births, unnecessary interventions, the cascade of concerns that can come with interrupted labor, and much more
Your story matters — and someone out there needs to hear it.
Let’s take back birth, one testimony at a time.
#4 | Kiana's Birth: OBGYN Calls Herself Holistic - Then Scares a Mother Into Induction
In this episode, Kiana opens up about her deeply personal journey through pregnancy and birth — a story marked by unnecessary interventions, emotional wounds, and the quiet strength it takes to trust yourself when the system tells you not to. She shares how birth trauma reshaped her view of medical care, the weight of being dismissed by the very people meant to support her, and the profound importance of learning to advocate for yourself in a setting where women’s voices are often minimized. Her testimony shines a light on the desperate need for better education, better support, and better respect for mothers. By sharing her story, Kiana shows how powerful it can be when women speak honestly about their experiences and choose healing over silence.
Kiana also brings a raw and honest look into early motherhood, postpartum depression, and the crushing expectations placed on new moms. She walks us through the spiritual and emotional layers of her birth experiences — the battle between trusting her intuition and surrendering to medical authority, and how those moments shaped both her and her child. Kiana reflects on how birth trauma impacts the entire family, the spiritual significance of bringing life into the world, and the need for a strong, safe community for mothers to land in. She speaks about her longing for redemption in future births and the grounding peace she’s found in trusting God through the messy, holy work of parenting.
Together, we remember that there is grace in the growth.

#3 | Hannah's Birth: A Midwife Claims "Hands off" But Couldn't Keep Her Hands Out
In this episode of the Grace in the Growth podcast, hosts Beth and Micaela confront the raw and often silenced realities of birth trauma and medical abuse. Centering on a home birth in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, the conversation exposes how a midwife’s betrayal can devastate a mother’s trust, and how subtle coercion easily crosses into medical assault.
Hannah shares her deeply personal journey—one marked by misplaced trust, betrayal, and ultimately, resilience. She describes the abuse she endured at the hands of her midwife: the administration of Benadryl without true consent, the relentless pressure to transfer, and the manipulations that stripped her of safety in her most vulnerable hours. Hannah is a sweet, strong woman who believed she was in safe hands, only to be violated and abused by the very person meant to protect her. Yet even through this devastation, she rises with strength, transforming her pain into a story that unmasks the dark side of midwifery gone wrong and reminds women of their power.
The discussion goes beyond individual events, shining a light on the systemic issues of midwifery, informed consent, and medical interventions that so often blur into medical violence. Beth and Micaela reflect on the urgency of naming abuse for what it is, honoring maternal instincts, and amplifying women’s stories so that no mother feels silenced or alone in the aftermath of birth trauma. This episode is not just a testimony—it’s a reckoning with the reality that abuse in birth is real, it is happening, and it must be exposed.
