The Crunchy Catholic Pregnancy and Childbirth Podcast for Catholic & Christian Moms | Homebirth & VBAC Stories, C Section, Birth Trauma, Maternal Mental Health, Postpartum, Breastfeeding, Doula Tips
(Formerly known as ”The Anchor of Hope” Podcast) The Crunchy Catholic Pregnancy and Childbirth Podcast is a Faith-based podcast where I talk about my personal experience throughout my journey of becoming a mother and navigating the ”system”.
Hi, I’m Rosie! Catholic mother of four beautiful children - two were brought into this world via C Sections and two were born in my living room! I have always been a big fan of the beautiful miracle of pregnancy and childbirth, and that passion was greatly enhanced by my variety of experiences bringing my own children into the world. I firmly believe that knowledge is power (while also acknowledging that we are powerless without God Almighty) and that every mother deserves to make informed decisions in all matters pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, breastfeeding and more. In a world of overwhelming resources, I pray I can be a refreshing voice similar to meeting a friend for coffee - here we’ll get real honest and even a little emotional, after-all, motherhood is the deepest most life-changing experience you’ll ever GROW through.
A secondary focus to my very passionate ”informed decision making” theme, is non-toxic decisions throughout pregnancy. Becoming pregnant with my oldest was when my ”crunchy” journey began and it still hasn’t stopped. Stay tuned for more content as I share more about what that has looked like and how you can get started too.
Thanks for being here!

Anchor of Hope Catholic Pregnancy and Childbirth Podcast - Episode 1: "My Firstborn's Birth Story - C Section for Being Breech" (Part 1 of 2)
My goodness has this new podcast series been a LONG time coming! I am so thrilled to be here, sharing about my journey into motherhood and navigating the "system" of the pregnancy and childbirth world. This episode turned into needing to have two parts, so part two will release next week!
If we haven't met yet, I'm Rosie, Catholic mother of 3 with #4 on the way. I have another, well-seasoned podcast called The Crunchy Catholic Podcast as well as various resources within that platform.
As for this new Anchor of Hope podcast, I don't have a website up and running (yet) but plan to essentially operate both podcasts off of my Crunchy Catholic platforms. But here are just a few Anchor of Hope specific links.
Thanks for being here, enjoy the episode and God bless you!
