Birth Without Fear started out as a simple thought one day in May of 2010 when January Harshe laid her fourth kiddo down for an afternoon nap. Since then, Birth Without Fear has turned into the preeminent voice for options, support, and respect for women and families in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum online, on Facebook, and on Instagram.
Due to Birth Without Fear’s success, Take Back Postpartum, Don’t Forget Dads, and Parenting Without Fear were created on Instagram to show all of the variations of normal during postpartum, fatherhood, and parenthood, respectively. January maintains her own personal Instagram account where she shares about self love, self care, and everyday mom life.
In 2017, January and her husband Brandon started The Harshē Podcast to share about their wild, busy, hilarious lives as parents to six kids. They’ve discussed topics ranging from coffee, tattoos, and mental health to their birth stories, postpartum experiences, and sex!
The inaugural Birth Without Fear Conference was held on October 12-13, 2013 in Arlington, TX with 155 attendees and 20 vendors. Since then, January has held over 80 Birth Without Fear themed events across the United States and Canada, with attendance and vendors surpassing 200 and 20 for numerous events, respectively. Only two Birth Without Fear Conferences will be held in 2018: one overseas in Sydney, NSW, Australia and one in Portland, OR.

Podcast Testimonials
“Listening to your podcast while I nurse my 3 month old. I never really got into podcasts but I absolutely love yours! I can relate to the family thinking you’re still who you were when you were a kid–like when I was a 13 year old, mouthy girl. I needed to hear when you said NOT to let them bring me down. I’m not thst adolescent anymore. Thank you!”
“I can really feel the presence of you guys through your podcast! I feel like I am just talking with good friends and it’s refreshing and funny!”
“I will just say that I made the mistake of listening to this podcast in the office. I have now laughed so hard I snorted and cried so hard I had to ask a co-worker for tissues. Brandon and January will hit you right in the feels. I can’t wait to hear more!”
“January and Brandon are relatable, funny, supportive of one another, and so committed to their family, all while trying to change the world! This is a great podcast, no matter your stage in life. They have been through it all (and then some), and share their story with humor and solidarity, but without judgment.”
“My husband generally does not care for my choice of podcasts but this one he will gladly listen to with me! We love the real talk that Brandon and January have, it opens up conversations between us that I feel we would not necessarily have. This podcast is funny, insightful, and full of inspiration and witty banter!
“Y’all are absolutely amazing! My husband and I listened to episode 3 together and now he’s starting to listen as well on his own! I cried during this episode because it struck so close to home. Thank you!!!”
“My favorite part of the week is when this podcast comes out! It feels like talking to friends. Some stuff is just funny and some is really inspiring. I love the Harshes so much!”
