About this episode
What if your birth experience could be more than just physical—what if it became a holy encounter with God?In this episode, Karen sits down with Emily Vondy—musician, speaker, content creator, and mama of (now) six—to share the unforgettable story of her fifth birth. From walking through the fear of a pregnancy after loss to experiencing a supernatural encounter with God during active labor in the car, Emily’s story is a beautiful testimony of faith, surrender, and divine joy.Emily vulnerably shares how God transformed her labor from anxiety and dread into laughter, peace, and profound connection. She opens up about how He met her in her weakness, carried her through transition, and gave her visions that forever changed how she sees Him.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction & Emily’s Background02:00 – Pregnancy After Loss & Surrendering Fear06:00 – Facing Induction and the Mental Battle10:00 – The Foley Balloon & Labor Begins16:30 – Praying Through the Fear25:00 – The Car Ride: Heaven Breaks In33:00 – Running Up Waves with Jesus41:00 – Jesus Carries Her50:00 – Pushing & Arrival of Vivian56:00 – Naming, Meaning, and Legacy01:05:00 – This Baby is the Missing Piece01:12:00 – Joy in Motherhood & Social Media ConfidenceConnect with Emily:Instagram: @emilyvondyTiktok: @thevondyfamUse code PODCAST to get $50 off the Pain Free Birth E-course HEREGrab the Healing Birth Trauma Course HERE CONNECT WITH KAREN:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/painfreebirth Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/painfreebirth/ Spotify Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/5zEiKMIHFewZeVdzfBSEMS Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/pain-free-birth/id1696179731Website - https://painfreebirth.com/ Email List https://pain-free-birth.mykajabi.com/website-opt-in
