Seriously the best!!

This is truly the podcast that I've been looking for. I've been fascinated by physiological, undisturbed birth for over a decade and feel like I've listened to every positive birth podcast out there but there is something so different and special about this one. I love how long the episodes are, the informational conversation segment at the beginning, and the overall strength and message that is shared by each woman on this podcast. These are the messages and information that could truly change the world. I'm 39w pregnant in the US preparing for my second unmedicated birth but first home birth and I seriously cannot stop listening to this podcast! It's everything! Thank you for all that you do! Endlessly grateful.

Truly a Gem

Although I’m in the United States, this podcast is doing the important work of sharing what home, physiological birth can look like and the women/families who embrace it. There are many great birth podcasts but few that focus solely on out of hospital birth. The hosts are fun, engaging and passionate. Even far from Australia moms are benefiting from each episode.
