S1:EP39 The Birth That Changed Everything: Trauma, Advocacy, and Surrender; With Chelsea Hollis
Welcome back to Moms With A Call, where real stories meet real faith.In this deeply honest and hope-filled conversation, McKenzie and Rebecca sit down with Chelsea Hollis, wife, mom of two (with one on the way), family photographer, educator, doula, and birth advocate, to talk about birth/postpartum trauma, surrender, advocacy, and the sacred complexity of motherhood.Chelsea shares how what began as a career in exercise science and corporate fitness slowly evolved into a calling centered around motherhood, storytelling, and supporting women through some of life’s most vulnerable moments. From family photography to birth work, her path unfolded through both purpose and pain.What began as the birth of her first son quickly became something far more complicated. After an induction for cholestasis, Chelsea experienced severe postpartum hemorrhaging, dismissed concerns, and a traumatic emergency during the height of COVID that separated her from both her husband and newborn baby.She opens up about the grief, fear, and rebuilding that followed, and how trauma eventually became an invitation into advocacy.Together, they talk about the gaps in birth education, learning to advocate for yourself inside medical systems, and why informed support can radically change the way women experience pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery.But this conversation also moves deeper.Into miscarriage and loss. Into motherhood after trauma. Into the tension between preparation and surrender. Into what it looks like to hold plans loosely while trusting God through outcomes you cannot control.Chelsea shares how birth itself became something deeply spiritual, revealing both vulnerability and strength, fear and faith, grief and beauty all at once.In this episode, they unpack:• Chelsea’s journey from fitness professional to photographer, doula, and educator• Birth trauma, postpartum hemorrhage, and medical dismissal• Becoming an advocate after a traumatic birth experience• Why birth education matters and how to advocate for yourself• The sacred and spiritual nature of birth• Navigating miscarriage, grief, and motherhood after loss• Balancing birth work, business, and family life• Epidurals, birth plans, and informed decision-making• Surrender, open-handed motherhood, and trusting God in uncertainty• Therapy, asking for support, and healing after hard seasonsIf you’ve ever felt fearful about birth…If motherhood has asked you to surrender more than you expected…If you’ve struggled to trust your body, your story, or God after disappointment…This episode is for you.Sometimes faith doesn’t look like certainty.Sometimes it looks like learning to trust God with open hands.EPISODE TIMELINE00:31 – Meet Chelsea Hollis01:13 – From fitness to photography04:37 – Engagement, marriage, and big life changes05:59 – Motherhood and the COVID pivot07:15 – Why Chelsea became a doula08:24 – Induction, cholestasis, and birth trauma10:15 – Postpartum red flags and medical dismissal12:01 – Hemorrhage, emergency D&C, and recovery17:53 – Turning pain into advocacy22:03 – Birth plans and self-advocacy24:30 – Gaps in birth education26:44 – The spiritual nature of birth28:26 – Balancing doula work and photography31:32 – Epidurals, options, and advocacy35:07 – Miscarriage and grief41:35 – Surrender in motherhood42:48 – Hope, healing, and resources45:02 – Closing reflectionsSHOW NOTESDown To Birth Podcast (with Cynthia Overgard and Trisha Ludwig)CONNECT WITH CHELSEAInstagram: @chelseaallegraTikTok: @chelsea_allegraWebsite: www.chelseaallegra.comCONNECT WITH MOMS WITH A CALLJoin the conversation with McKenzie + Rebecca on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, & YouTube → @momswithacallGet show updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and more at www.momswithacall.comListen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon.Leave a review and let us know how this episode moved you — your words mean more than you know.If you or someone you know has a stor

S1:EP37 Midnight Series: Healing in the Middle of the Chaos
Welcome back to the Midnight Series, where the conversations are honest and faith meets the parts of us still learning how to slow down.In this certified yapper conversation, McKenzie and Rebecca catch up on the beautiful chaos of real life: end-of-school overwhelm, upcoming moves, weddings, toddler milestones, and the emotional exhaustion that builds when life feels loud in every direction.What begins as a casual check-in slowly unfolds into something deeper: a conversation about overstimulation, nervous system healing, motherhood, and learning how to stay grounded in both faith and body.The conversation shifts toward parenting overload and the invisible emotional labor families carry every day. They talk honestly about toddler chaos, emotional dysregulation, and how children often mirror the nervous systems of the adults raising them.Together, they explore the connection between neuroscience and faith, reflecting on Dr. Curt Thompson’s Anatomy of the Soul, attachment styles, emotional awareness, journaling, and the idea that healing is not just spiritual, but deeply physical too.They also share practical ways they’ve been learning to regulate: slowing down, reducing noise, paying attention to emotional triggers, creating space for stillness, and reconnecting with God through honesty instead of performance.If you’ve been feeling emotionally stretched thin…If motherhood has left your nervous system exhausted…If you’re trying to heal spiritually while also learning how to feel safe in your own body…This episode is for you.Sometimes healing isn’t loud.Sometimes it looks like learning how to breathe again in the middle of ordinary life.Episode Timeline00:29 – Life updates and moving02:35 – Toddler chaos stories04:17 – Tate’s speech progress06:13 – New York trip recap10:58 – Emotional triggers and city energy14:59 – Coming home to parenting mayhem18:18 – Overstimulation and stay-at-home parent life24:33 – Regulation tools and nervous system resets35:51 – Modern parenting overload37:29 – Digital detox dreams and slowing down38:48 – Full moon energy and emotional sensitivity40:44 – Intuition and overstimulation43:02 – Anatomy of the Soul and neuroscience45:02 – Attachment styles and connection with God47:01 – Journaling and emotional healing52:31 – Rethinking “pick up your cross”55:50 – Discovering Dr. Curt Thompson’s work57:29 – Motherhood guest series preview01:02:43 – Closing reflectionsConnect with Moms With A Call:Join the conversation with McKenzie + Rebecca on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, & YouTube → @momswithacallGet show updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and more at www.momswithacall.comListen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon.Leave a review and let us know how this episode moved you.
