#20 | Billie Harrigan on the Holiness of Birth and the Heart of Womanhood
The Discerning Mother
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by traditional birth companion (& one of my mentors!) Billie Harrigan for a soul-stirring conversation about the spiritual significance of birth and the deep calling of motherhood. We talk about: Why birth is more than a medical event. It’s a holy initiation. How society’s treatment of mothers reveals our spiritual disconnection The ancient wisdom that birth carries when it’s allowed to unfold naturally The role of suffering, surrender, and joy in the birthing journey What it really means to restore reverence for motherhood in a culture that’s forgotten it This is a conversation for every woman who senses that there’s more to birth than what the world has told her. Whether you’ve given birth, hope to someday, or are still healing from the experience, this one will speak to your soul. Connect with Billie Harrigan Learn more about The Dwelling Place.

About Podcast
Welcome to The Discerning Mother, the podcast where building a thriving business and becoming a whole woman are not two different goals. Most wellness podcasts will tell you to regulate your nervous system. Most business podcasts will tell you to try another strategy.
This one will tell you why those won't work.
This is where faith, health, and business strategy collide.
Each week we talk about:
- How your nervous system is either building your business or quietly sabotaging it
- Why rewiring your nervous system and identity unlocks what regulation never could
- Real strategy for scaling without burning the woman behind the brand
- What Catholic/Christian theology has to say about money, ambition, and becoming
- How to have more without doing more
- Doing it all while being a present, joyful, peaceful mother & 6 or 7 figure business owner
This is not hustle culture with a rosary or prayers on top. This is the real work; the kind that changes what you are capable of in your business, your body, your marriage, and your motherhood (& by default, the world! Right, St. Mother Teresa?!).
Whether you are listening as you prep for a client call or folding laundry, it's time for you to dive in!
