About this listen
In this episode of The Gossip, we open a heartfelt conversation about birth stories—not as dramatic retellings or lessons to be extracted, but as lived experiences that deserve to be heard, held, and respected.
Mia, a birth coach, and Sam, an occupational therapist, explore how birth stories shape women long after the day itself and why telling (and listening to) birth stories can be deeply reparative.
This episode is for anyone who has given birth, is preparing to, supports birthing women, or feels the quiet weight of a story that hasn’t yet been spoken.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why birth stories are not “just birth” but embodied experiences
- How the body and nervous system remember birth
- Making space for all births: joyful, traumatic, medicalised, quiet, complex
A gentle reminder:
There is no “good” or “bad” birth—only your birth. Your story matters, even if it doesn’t sound dramatic. Especially if it doesn’t.
Content note:
This episode includes discussion of birth experiences and may touch on medical intervention or emotional distress. Please listen in a way that feels supportive for you.
