Episode 003: The Making of A Birth Servant | Nichole's Story, Part Two

Part Two

In this episode, co-host Nichole Smith shares the five home births that shaped her walk — not just as a mother, but as a devoted birth servant. With two decades of experience supporting women, Nichole invites us into her personal story of transformation through surrender, trust, and the quiet voice of God that called her to serve. From early motherhood to midwifery training, from joy to rupture, this is a testimony of what it means to answer the call to be with woman.

 

Episode 003 – The Making of a Birth Servant
Guest: Nichole Smith
Hosted by: Sydney Hagan

In this powerful episode, Sydney steps into the host role as Nichole shares her own birth stories — five unique and formative home births that shaped her deeply as a mother and birth worker. Through these stories, we trace Nichole’s journey from a first-time mom to a seasoned birth servant walking alongside women for over 20 years.

Together, they explore:

• The early seeds of her calling into birth work
  
  
• Choosing home birth in a time when it felt countercultural
  
  
• Recovering from trauma and betrayal after provider negligence in her third birth
  
  
• Navigating a transverse delivery in her fifth birth with trust and inner stillness
  
  
• How each birth became its own threshold of becoming
  
  

Whether you’re preparing for birth or reflecting on your own story, this episode will offer deep encouragement, insight, and companionship.

 

Reflections:

As you listened to Nichole’s stories, where did you see God move in her story — and in yours?

What wisdom are you carrying from your own births?

How has hardship refined the way you show up — for yourself, your children, or others?
