Birth Trauma: Navigating the Emotional Aftermath Birth trauma is far more common than we talk about, affecting over 45% of women, whether or not the birth itself went to plan. In this episode, we explore what birth trauma can look like, why it often stems from feeling unheard or losing control, and practical ways to begin healing, from therapy and support groups to self-compassion, mindfulness and journaling. A reminder that these feelings are valid, healing takes time, and you are not alone.

Your Birth Environment: Setting the Vibe for Oxytocin Your environment might be the single most important factor in your birth experience. In this episode, we explore why oxytocin, the hormone driving your labour, thrives on privacy, darkness, warmth and safety, and how to create that space wherever you're birthing, at home, hospital or even in theatre. We also cover practical essentials like staying nourished and warm, the birth partner's role as guardian of the space, and small changes that make a real difference to how your labour progresses.
