EPISODE 14: Birth, Teamwork, and Trusting the Process — with Lauren & Drew

In this episode, I sat down with Lauren and Drew, a couple whose story really shows what it means to grow, adapt, and keep your power through the unpredictability of birth and life. Lauren’s a labor and delivery nurse, and Drew’s a farmer who’s seen plenty of animal births, but human birth had a few surprises of its own.

We talked about:

• How Lauren’s confidence as a nurse shifted after her first birth experience

• What it takes to prepare as a couple, mentally, physically, and emotionally

• Drew’s perspective as a partner learning to stay grounded and supportive

• The fast, unplanned home birth that tested everything they’d learned

• How faith, teamwork, and flexibility helped them find peace in the chaos

Their story is a reminder that birth (and life) doesn’t always follow the plan, and that true resilience comes from education, communication, and learning to let go of control when things get real.
