In this powerful episode, we sit down with Nicole (@nicole_keilani)—a mother of three, former New Ager transformed by Jesus, and now a devoted birthkeeper—whose birth journey will encourage any mom navigating fear-based labels or “high-risk” diagnoses.

After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes and risked out of midwifery care, Nicole found herself facing medical pressure, limited options, and the familiar “you can’t have a homebirth” narrative. Instead of surrendering to fear, she turned to Scripture, her husband’s leadership, deep research, and the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit.

What followed was a beautiful, precipitous freebirth at home, free of complications and full of God’s presence. Nicole shares what she learned about trusting God over protocols, the wide spectrum of maternity care—from hospitals to homebirth to unassisted birth—and how this experience inspired her to become a birthkeeper and now an HJ student preparing for her fourth homebirth.

This episode is rich with faith, courage, personal responsibility, and a reminder that your provider should serve you, not the system.
