About this listen

For Christian mamas and birth workers who desire to embrace physiological birth... outside of the medical system. Holy Wild Birth is a podcast embracing the reclamation of giving birth rooted in God’s original design, undisturbed. Here we share home birth stories highlighting God’s presence as the Great Midwife as well as conversations about all aspects of a holistic, Spirit-led childbearing year from the perspectives of traditional midwife Lauren Hall (Rooted in Eden Private Contract Association) and birth keeper and childbirth educator Brooke Collier (Sister Birth).

  • Becky:: Not to be Deterred (Part 2)
    Sep 19 2025

    Welcome back for part 2 of Becky's birth story!

    Join Brooke as she talks with her in-real-life friend, Becky, about her three births (a special surprise). Though her first two attempts at a home birth didn’t turn out the way she diligently planned for (as you’ll hear in Part 1), she was not to be discouraged, and went on to have an incredible, redemptive story (as you’ll hear in Part 2).

    Among other things, Becky touches on:

    • How a shift from nursing background to preventative and root-cause driven healthcare impacted her birthing choices

    • Pregnancy during Covid and the fear that came with it

    • Coming to terms with a difficult birth story she can’t remember

    • The leap of faith in choosing to have another baby after trials

    • Learning fertility awareness “late” in the game

  • The Birth of A Birthkeeper :: Kurin’s Story
    Sep 10 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Kurin (@kurinadele & the "The Mindful Mama Podcast"), a current Hearthmother Journey student and soon-to-be graduate, as she shares her long and beautiful unfolding into birth work. From her mother’s words spoken over her as a toddler—that she would one day be a midwife—to a detour into other career paths, marriage, a hospital birth, loss, and then the redemption of a home birth, Kurin’s story is rich with depth and faith.

    She opens up about the major mindset shifts she’s experienced, how Christ has become the center of her calling, and the power of prayer in birth work. Kurin’s journey through Hearthmother Journey has been the final push that empowered her to fully step into serving women in their birth spaces with courage, reverence, and joy.

    🔥Enrollment for Hearthmother Journey is open now through September 15th—join us as we prepare the next wave of birth workers to walk faithfully in this calling. (https://www.rootedineden.org/hearthmother-journey#payment-options)
