BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 255: Birth as Sacred Work
In this episode, I tackle the claim that the Bible says birth is supposed to be painful by examining Genesis 3:16 and the original Hebrew word itstsavon, which means "toil" or "labor"—the same word used for Adam's work in the field, not excruciating agony. God's design of the female body—from circadian rhythms optimizing melatonin and oxytocin to endorphins, relaxin, and a baby's adaptable skull—shows us that birth was created to be intense labor supported by brilliant, God-given systems. Understanding itstsavon as "labor" rather than "pain" changes everything: birth is hard work, but women are designed for hard work, and the intensity you'll experience isn't punishment—it's purpose. You were created for this, equipped with strength, hormones, instinct, and the promise of transformative joy. Birth is not a curse—it's powerful, purposeful, God-designed labor, and you are fearfully and wonderfully made for it. If this episode resonated with you, leave us a review on iTunes or Spotify.

BIRTHFIT Podcast 254 with Nikki Adams Herrera, BIRTHFIT Coach and Founder of BabeFit SoCal

BIRTHFIT Podcast 254 with Nikki Adams Herrera, BIRTHFIT Coach and Founder of BabeFit SoCal
In this week’s BIRTHFIT Podcast conversation, Lindsey sat down with Nikki Adams — a longtime BIRTHFIT Coach (since 2017), gym owner, doula, Lululemon ambassador, and devoted mom — to talk about her journey, her work, and the heart behind everything she does. Nikki is one of those rare people who radiates both fire and gentleness. She’s built a space in her community where women feel seen, supported, and strengthened — not just physically, but emotionally and relationally, too. Early mornings, bustling mom-friendly classes, and intentionally curated programs are her rhythm, but what truly defines her work is the way she weaves connection and healing into every corner of her gym. She shared how she found BIRTHFIT years ago — during a season when she felt an inner pull to better understand pregnancy, coaching, and the deeper layers of women’s wellness. After discovering the BIRTHFIT podcast, she reached out to Lindsey, eventually attending the 2017 Coach Seminar despite financial hurdles. She describes that weekend as “life-changing,” not simply because of the information taught, but because of the energy in the room — forward-thinking women, shared purpose, community, and a sense of coming home to a calling. From that seminar, she brought back tools she still uses today — especially the breath technique, which immediately transformed the way she coached her pregnant and postpartum clients. Throughout the conversation, Nikki spoke openly about the realities of running a people-centered business: • early mornings for working moms • dedicated BIRTHFIT programs with childcare • investing in systems like PushPress • navigating cancellations, boundaries, pricing, and sustainability • balancing her own growth with the needs of her community What grounds her through all of it is her purpose: to serve, to create connection, and to empower women with strength and confidence during some of the most transformative seasons of their lives. Her encouragement to new coaches and leaders was simple but powerful: Follow your heart. Stay aligned with your values. And trust that you are meant to do work that moves you.
