I listened to so many birthing podcasts during my pregnancies and this is by far the best one. The way Charli and Sarah deliver information is so organized and digestible. They are also hilarious. If you’re lucky like me, you also get to work with them and have an amazing birth!

They provide completely unbiased information that is based in science and well documented studies. They truly believe in informed consent and discuss ALL options for their clients to set them up with the proper information to make the best decision for THEMSELVES. I also really admire how they talk about the medical model of care- its strengths as well as its limitations. There is clearly mutua... more
