  • Became more biased over time

    This podcast began as a beautiful sharing of birth stories with something for everyone, but Sophie would do to be aware of her very apparent bias towards “natural” deliveries and home births. For many women this does not eventuate, and whilst it would be wonderful for every birthing person if they had an uneventful vaginal delivery with minimal tearing, no intervention and no drugs, this is not always possible or in fact realistic. Historically foetal and maternal death during pregnancy and birt... more

  • Beautiful podcast

    My favourite podcast by a mile. I adore hearing women’s stories of their births.. and their stories have also served their ancient purpose of informing, inspiring and empowering me for my own births. I absolutely wouldn’t have had the birth experiences I’ve had without this beautiful resource for knowledge sharing and connection.

  • Highly recommend

    I love this podcast and I’ve listened to so many episodes I feel like Sophie is a friend! It’s wonderful to hear from women with such a wide range of experiences and Sophie interviews with a beautiful gentle non-judgmental manner. As someone who experienced severe HG I am always keen to hear from other women who have also experienced HG. more

  • Life changing! Thank you!!

    I have been listening for over five years now and I really can credit my two beautiful births to you, and now my passion as a Doula. After my first pregnancy ended in an Ectopic and my second birth included Obstetric Violence and assault, I have just experienced a healing water birth through my local birth centre MGP. I credit my birth to learning to advocate for myself over all these years, and to your amazing book that I’ve had on repeat my whole pregnancy. I really do believe you have changed... more
