On today’s show, I’m joined by Laura, a German-born mother who shares two very different birth experiences that resulted in three babies. Laura entered her first pregnancy with the goal of having an unmedicated, natural birth. But after her waters released she was put on the clock, and a long, difficult hospital experience ultimately ended in a caesarean.

When she fell pregnant again, Laura was clear on the kind of care she wanted this time around, seeking out an obstetrician who aligned with her birth choices and supported VBAC. Then, at her first scan, came the shock that she wasn’t carrying one baby, but identical twins.

Suddenly, the VBAC she had hoped for felt like a much bigger mountain to climb. But with a skilled obstetrician who supported her twin VBAC, and a birth team she deeply trusted, Laura continued forward with confidence in herself and her babies. At 38 weeks and three days, she went on to birth her boys in the water, just 21 minutes apart, with her second baby born en caul 🕊️

This week’s show is a micro-episode, sharing a 5-minute taste of my 20-minute Sacred Birth Affirmation Track 🌀

The words we hear again and again matter. Affirmations can help shape the beliefs we carry into birth, replacing some of the fear and doubt we’ve absorbed over the years with thoughts that feel more supportive, grounding and familiar.

The full 20-minute track is available for just $5 through the Positive Birth Australia website.

On today’s episode, Aurora shares the extraordinary birth of her daughter, who arrived beyond 43 weeks after an almost three-day labour that brought her to the very edge of her physical and spiritual strength. With meconium surrounding her, those first moments became a raw and instinctive exchange between mother and baby, as Aurora called her daughter into the world and trusting the wisdom moving through them both.

Her son’s birth unfolded entirely differently: a healing five-hour waterbirth where he was born en caul. With this birth, Aurora softened into the intensity and allowed her body to lead. Woven through both stories is a powerful exploration of conscious conception, intuition, fear, surrender and birth as a profound rite of passage 🌀

On today’s episode, I sit down with Rochelle, as she takes us through the stories of her three homebirths and the journey of growth, self-trust and transformation that unfolded alongside them.

Rochelle entered motherhood at 25 with very little knowledge about birth. After finding a private midwifery clinic and discovering homebirth late in her pregnancy, she followed what felt right and went on to have a beautiful first birth at home. At the time, she didn’t fully realise how significant that experience would become, but it marked the beginning of a much deeper journey into birth, motherhood and learning to trust herself.

By her second and third pregnancies, Rochelle approached birth with far greater intention and awareness. Through hypnobirthing, and mindset practices, she prepared not only for the physical experience of birth, but for the emotional and spiritual journey too.

Across her three stories, Rochelle shares how each birth asked something different of her and gave her something different in return 🕊️

Today’s episode is a really important conversation with filmmaker Jacinta Lagos and globally respected midwife Kristine Lauria, the women behind the new documentary Allowed to Birth: The Journey of a Global Midwife.

Jacinta’s journey into birth began behind the camera. She began documenting births and later trained as a doula. But the more births she witnessed, the more she began noticing the stark contrast between what she was seeing in some hospital environments - including trauma, coercion and obstetric violence - and the physiological births she was witnessing at home. Eventually, she reached a point where simply witnessing it wasn’t enough. She wanted to create something that could challenge the way we think about birth.

That eventually connected her with Kristine, whose experience in the birth space spans more than three decades - from supporting families within Amish communities, where breech and twin birth were treated as variations of normal, to humanitarian work around the world and her work today teaching and supporting practitioners in breech and multiple birth.

Together, they created Allowed to Birth - a documentary that follows Kristine’s extraordinary life and work as a global midwife, using her experiences and perspective as a lens to explore the medicalisation of birth, women’s autonomy, and what becomes possible when birth is understood and supported as a physiological process.
