Vasectomy Reversal, Regret & Finding Hope Again | Call the Millers Ep.2

Two women. Two very different paths. One family chose the difficult road of a vasectomy reversal and went on to grow; the other carried a quieter kind of longing. In this episode of Call the Millers we hold both stories gently and talk about the true thread that held us through: hope.
Rainbow shares her family’s vasectomy-reversal journey — the fear, the decision, and the tender miracle of saying yes to more children. Janna offers a different perspective, the honest ache of roads not taken and what it teaches about resilience.
Though the details are different, both stories return to the same truth: hope has the power to carry us forward, even when the way is uncertain.
This conversation is tender, honest, and full of encouragement for mothers, women, and families who know what it means to hold onto hope through life’s hardest choices.

Never Give Up | A Story of Birth, Perseverance & Strength | Ep.1

In our very first episode of Call the Millers, we sit down together to share the story of Rainbow’s first son’s birth—the day our paths first crossed as mother and midwife. What began as a birth story became a lesson in perseverance, resilience, and the strength women carry when faced with hard things.
This conversation is about more than just one birth. It’s about what happens when we refuse to give up, the power of walking through challenges, and the beauty of being supported in our most vulnerable moments.
Thank you for joining us as we begin this journey—sharing stories, wisdom, and encouragement for women everywhere.
