Let’s talk about something we don’t hear enough about: getting ready for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum before you’re actually expecting. I know, it sounds like it might be too soon. But whether you’re thinking about kids down the line or you’re just curious about how to get your body and mind ready for the journey, there’s a lot you can do NOW to set yourself up for a smoother pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.

In this episode, we’ll break down why preparation is key—and why it shouldn’t wait until you see that positive test. Preparing your body, understanding the changes ahead, and even getting mentally ready can help you feel way more confident and ready when the time comes.

If you’re a Black woman who’s interested in family planning, or you just want to feel empowered about your choices when the time is right, this episode is for you. And hey, this isn’t just about babies—it’s about making sure you’re taking care of you in every way possible.

In this episode, join me as I speak to the real-life challenge of letting go of our plans and leaning into God's timing, inspired by Proverbs 19:21 (NLT): “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” Whether it’s about when we want to start a family, how we imagine birth, or the dreams we have for motherhood, we often hold on tight to our timelines. But what happens when life doesn’t go the way we hoped?

In this episode, I’m getting personal and sharing the WHY behind this podcast. I delve into the reality of the maternal mortality rates in the U.S. — especially for Black women. I also address the history of childbirth in America to see clearly the transition over time. Ultimately, the hope of Jesus motivates me to lean into the Lord through prayer, but also to get out there and do the work of educating and supporting families for redemption and God’s glory!

In this episode, I dive into the powerful message and lesson we learn from Philippians 4:6-7 and explore how these verses can guide us through the challenges and uncertainties of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Whether you're an expectant mother, new mom, an OG mom, or even hoping to be a mom - it's easy to feel overwhelmed by worries and stress, but God's word invites us to replace anxiety with prayer and trust. May this awareness of God's promise when we replace worry with prayer & petitions and help you to apply this scripture to your journey, embracing God's peace during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period

Keywords: Philippians 4:6-7, Message translation, pregnancy anxiety, birth preparation, postpartum peace, Christian motherhood, faith in pregnancy, overcoming stress, motherhood journey, applying scripture to birth, Christian doula

I'm so glad you're here tuning in for my FIRST ever podcast! Welcome to this space where faith and culture collide. I'm your host, Imani and I'm detailing why I launched this podcast and what you can expect in the future.

The heart behind this is truly to create a space where I saw there was a gap. It was tough to find content specific to the Black Christian experience. Although we are not a monolith, someone needs to start speaking and that's my intent behind this show.

Look out for mostly interview episodes with a few solo shows, highlighting Black Christian mothers and birth professionals sharing their stories. What a beautiful way to fight the Black maternal health crisis in this country - with our voices and our joy!

Go ahead and subscribe to stay up-to-date when episodes drop and share with your family & friends that NEED to hear what we're talking about.
