Riley Gaines's Birth Story and Motherhood Update

No one tells you what birth actually feels like — until it’s happening to you.

Riley Gaines shares her raw birth story, the instincts that overrode expert advice, and how motherhood reshaped her body, faith, and purpose. We talk about modern birth, sleep deprivation, pressure to “bounce back,” and the truths new moms aren’t warned about — in a culture that over-medicalizes something women were designed to do.
