I’m a first time mum, yet to give birth, and have found these series of podcasts to be really useful in increasing my knowledge & understanding at a time when it’s less easy to ask questions of friends/ midwives. All of the podcasts are well thought-out and the subject knowledge of those being interviewed is not only of experienced women and from strong evidence-bases, but is also from a place that is truly meaningful to that person, and so I feel like I have taken in a lot more than I would from reading & share compassion with these women. I can’t wait for series 3!

I love listening to these podcasts. It’s so refreshing to hear real stories told with emotion, humour & authenticity rather than reading birth stories with a token photo. It makes you appreciate the uniqueness of every woman’s situation & listening to Octavia asking specific questions provides a wide platform of experiences to learn from. Her expertise & tips are also really useful for mums to be & current mummy’s.

Very informative and helpful on those key topics you are keen to understand but have no idea where to find out about it all. This is a fun way to discover the ins and outs of birth etc and what to expect along the way.

Love love love this podcast! So amazing to have birth stories where you talk to women both before and after their births - too often we get a one-sided approach! Keep doing what you’re doing!

I love that the conversations on all of these stories are balanced and so interesting hearing the lived experiences of all these incredible women. Thank you and keep sharing!

Absolutely loving this new podcast series, it’s so interesting and informative. Just what I have needed whilst recovering from the birth of my second baby.

So interesting, loved the one on functional medicine.
