In this episode, Brooke & Lauren discuss something they have talked about with many women over the years: fears, worries, hesitations, resistance to the call to serve women in their childbearing year. This episode is like sitting down for coffee with Brooke & Lauren. They crack open all the real questions that come up when someone first thinks about entering the birth room.

  • I am a mom & have too many littles; how will this work for me?

  • How will I deal with the financial cost of training?

  • Will this support my family or detract from my family? → will I end up divorced or with kids who resent me?

  • Am I too young or too old?

  • Can I serve women without having children of my own yet?

  • Am I unworthy to serve in the birth space?

  • How do I figure out how to live the on-call life?

  • Do I have the capacity to do this work?

  • If I am called to birth work, when is the right time?

Brooke & Lauren share some of the wisdom they have gained over their years in birth work and address each of these questions, not by giving a perfect answer, but by uncovering the real fears & doubts underneath these questions.The obstacles most women wrestle with when it comes to birth work can likely be divided up into the following categories, with related fears underneath each one: capacity, worthiness, permission, path confusion, or timing.

They discuss tools for discernment, and what being called to birth work more specifically looks like. They chat how to discern and follow His path for you into birthwork, as well break open several Biblical stories on discernment. They wrap up with some practical next steps you can take in your discernment.


The ultimate question is: does He have your yes?
