23. "They Wouldn't Let Me": The Birth Language That's Working Against You
May 18, 202617 min
Send us Fan Mail "They wouldn't let me go past 40 weeks." "They made me get an injection." "I had to have a C-section." This is the language of permission and it's so normal in birth culture that most of us don't even notice it. In this episode, we're talking about how the words we use around birth quietly shape what we believe about our role in it. And our role in our birth is not a small thing. Here's what we get into: • Why language is never neutral including in birth • What "let," "made," and "had to" are really communicating about your autonomy • The legal principle of informed consent and why permission language doesn't reflect it • How this starts in prenatal care, long before labor • What ownership language sounds like in practice, with real examples • Why this matters before, during, and after your birth, including what the research says about birth trauma and perceived control • Why none of this is about going adversarial with your care team This episode is for every pregnant woman, regardless of where or how she plans to give birth. Just getting started? Use my free pregnancy and birth research checklist to jumpstart your learning.

22. 3 Truths Every Christian Mom Needs to Remember When She's Still Afraid of Birth
May 11, 202610 min
Send us Fan Mail You've read the books. You've taken the class. You've prayed about it more times than you can count. And you're still afraid. If that's you, this episode is for you. This isn't an episode about the physiology of fear or coping techniques for labor. It's a heart-level conversation for the mom who feels like she should have more faith by now and doesn't understand why the fear is still there. In this episode, I walk through three timeless biblical truths that I come back to again and again with the moms I work with: • Truth #1: Fear does not disqualify your faith; the story of the bleeding woman in Mark 5 shows us why • Truth #2: God doesn't promise control, but He does promise His presence (and what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego can teach us about holding a birth plan loosely) • Truth #3: You are not the main character (and the freedom that comes with truly believing that) I also share why I think the Bible says ""do not fear"" 365 times, literally one for every day of the year, and what that tells us about how God views our anxiety. If you've been carrying shame about your fear alongside your faith, this episode was made for you. Just getting started? Use my free pregnancy and birth research checklist to jumpstart your learning.

21. How I Became a Christ-Centered Birth Doula, Part 4: 42 Weeks Pregnant, the Pressure to Induce, and Finding Peace in Surrender
May 4, 202640 min
Send us Fan Mail We've made it to Part 4: the final chapter of my personal birth story series. This episode picks up after my second birth and covers my third pregnancy, my third birth, and the pivotal experience that led me to officially become a doula. This one is about learning that preparation and control are not the same thing. In this episode, I share: • My friend's VBAC story aka the birth I attended that changed everything and sent me home knowing I was going to become a doula • How I started my business, and the early messaging that was all about taking control of your birth experience • Going 42 weeks pregnant with my third baby, the pressure, the fear, the impossible decision, and what finally brought me peace • My third birth story; how it unfolded, and why it felt completely different from the first two • The shift in my birth philosophy that came out of all three experiences • What I believe God was teaching me through each birth and why that arc matters for you too This is the episode that closes the loop on why Rise exists and what it's really about.

20. How I Became a Christ-Centered Birth Doula, Part 3: My Home Birth Story After a Traumatic Hospital Birth
Apr 27, 202645 min
Send us Fan Mail We made it to Part 3, and this is the one where things started to change. In this episode, I'm sharing my second birth: a home birth after a traumatic hospital experience, and the story of how God used all of it to lead me exactly where I'm supposed to be. In this episode, I share: • Why I trained for a half marathon nine months postpartum (and what it was really about) • How we made the decision to pursue home birth and what my first phone call with a home birth midwife felt like • What prenatal care looked like with a CPM vs. the OB appointments I'd had before • The full story of my labor and birth, the long pushing stage, the birth stool, the moment everything clicked • The detail I didn't find out until after I gave birth • A childhood bicycle race story and what it taught me about feeling unseen by God • How my faith was transformed through all of this This is the one I've been excited to get to :) Thank you for going on this whole journey with me. 💛 Just getting started?

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
