Welcome to the Before Baby Podcast.


My name is Lilli. I’m a hypnotherapist by day, and currently in my own “before baby” season of life. Over on TikTok, I’ve been sharing some of the emotional work I’m doing before my husband and I start trying for a baby.


Through my work as a hypnotherapist, I’ve seen how deeply our early experiences shape us. It made me curious about the parts of myself I might want to understand a little better before stepping into motherhood.


This podcast isn’t about becoming perfect, and it’s definitely not about getting everything right. Every parent influences their child in different ways, and that’s simply part of being human. For me, this journey is just about approaching this next chapter of life with a little more self-awareness, honesty, and care.


In this podcast, I’ll be sharing reflections from this season - the emotional work, the questions I’m sitting with, and what I’m learning along the way as I prepare for motherhood.

    Why do I actually want to have kids?

    Hiya!

    In todays ep I'm chatting about my thought process behind discovering my 'why' behind wanting kids. Because tbh it was always just something I assumed I'd do? But never really thought about why...

    I hope you enjoy!

  • Trying to conceive: fear of the unknown!

    Trying to conceive: fear of the unknown!
    May 7 2026

    When you decide you want to have a baby, you step into something that can’t really be planned....


    You don’t know how long it will take. You don’t know what your body will do. And you don’t know exactly how the journey will unfold.


    In this episode, I talk about the quiet fear that can sit underneath the decision to try for a baby - the fear of the unknown. I chat about how I'm managing that fear and the approach I'm taking!


    I hope this helps xx
