In this conversation, Brigid sits down with Dr. Stu, an obstetrician who left the conventional system after decades inside it to reveal what’s really going on behind hospital doors.
Dr. Stu shares how his journey from a “medicalized OB” to a home birth advocate began with one simple realization: women’s bodies are not broken, but the system is. Together, he and Brigid expose the financial incentives driving unnecessary interventions, the spiritual and emotional cost of birth trauma, and why empowering mothers (and fathers) with truth changes everything.
They also discuss:


Why hospital birth has become a business, not a calling


The real reason C-section and induction rates keep rising


How birth trauma happens even in “successful” births


The lost art of breech and twin deliveries and why it matters


What every woman should ask her doctor before signing anything


The sacred role of fathers in the birth space


How to discern truth, find freedom, and trust God’s design for birth


This conversation will leave you questioning everything you’ve been told about “safe” birth and ready to reclaim it as the sacred, powerful experience it was always meant to be.
