On today's show I sit with Jinti as she reflects on the transformative journey of her four births and the invaluable lessons she gathered along the way. Just two weeks into a worldwide adventure, she unexpectedly discovered she was pregnant. Overwhelmed by the uncertainty of what to do next, her mother’s encouraging words grounded her, giving her the confidence to continue traveling until it was time to return home and birth her baby. While her first birth in the hospital was natural, it revealed unnecessary interruptions that she instinctively felt weren’t needed. This experience sparked a deeper trust in herself, guiding her toward a different path for her subsequent births.
For her son’s arrival, Jinti chose the quiet sanctuary of home, surrounded by nature, with only her partner by her side. This empowered and undisturbed birth deepened her belief in herself and strengthened her connection to the sacred process of pregnancy and childbirth, affirming that that all she truly needed was to trust her instincts and the innate wisdom of her body.. Her future births reflected this trust, each inviting her to surrender more fully to the mystery of life’s unfolding.
Today, Jinti reflects on the profound insights gained from each birth and how they’ve shaped her journey. From maiden to mother, through the loss of her father, she has embraced the wisdom of her experiences, stepping into her authentic self. Her story is a testament to the beauty of surrender, the strength in vulnerability, and the transformative path of motherhood.

On today’s episode, we dive into Shontelle’s journey through her three hospital births. Her first experience followed the common medical path - an induction, and a postpartum haemorrhage that ended in a trip to the theatre. Despite this, Shontelle holds this birth with deep reverence as the beginning of her motherhood journey.
For her second birth, everything shifted. Inspired by Ina May’s iconic book, Shontelle discovered the power of informed, instinctive birthing. This newfound mindset became invaluable when her baby boy made a swift and surprising entrance at just 37+ weeks.
By her third pregnancy, Shontelle was deeply equipped with knowledge, tools, and confidence. She shares how she worked within the system to create a birth experience that felt truly transformative.
Join us as we delve into the lessons she’s learnt along the way, and how preparation and mindset became her greatest allies in birthing her babies.

Today, I sit down with Georgia, who shares her two deeply personal and positive birth stories - each unique, yet equally transformative. Like so many women, Georgia carried fear around birth. But a seed planted by her grandmother, shifted her perspective and opened her to the possibility that not all birth has to be traumatic. Determined to rewrite the narrative, Georgia turned to a Calm Birth course for guidance and education. This became her anchor, providing her and her husband with the confidence and tools they needed to navigate the hospital system with clarity and intention.
For her second pregnancy, the restrictions of the Covid era led Georgia to seek an entirely different path - one rooted in the safety and comfort of her own home. With the support of a midwife who truly saw and honoured her, Georgia experienced the beauty of individualised care. When labour began, it mirrored her first, but this time she didn’t need to leave her sacred space. Surrounded by love and grounded in her power, Georgia birthed her baby at home, with her family by her side.
In today’s episode, Georgia reflects on these two positive yet contrasting, journeys. She opens up about her battle with HG (hyperemesis gravidarum) in both pregnancies, the lessons she learnt, and how preparation, self-belief, and standing firm in your choices can create an empowering birth, no matter the setting.

Today’s episode features the powerful and contrasting birth stories of Nathalie. After receiving a gestational diabetes (GDM) diagnosis, she was placed in the high-risk category, resulting in a cascade of interventions and care that felt disconnected from her unique needs and true health picture.
That experience lit a spark within Nathalie, igniting a desire to rewrite her birth story the next time around. Guided by an inner knowing, she approached her next birth with intention and trust. Hiring a doula became a pivotal moment, introducing her to the possibility of homebirth and connecting her with a midwife who provided care tailored to her individual circumstances. This birth unfolded so quickly that her midwife and doula barely arrived in time, a beautiful reminder that Nathalie had everything she needed within herself all along.
Today, Nathalie also unpacks a moment of profound emotional release after her son was born. The weight of her journey—the struggles, the growth, and the transformation—came rushing to the surface. Overwhelmed by the enormity of it all, she froze, unable to immediately reach for her baby. This powerful moment, though unexpected, reflects how birth has the ability to uncover and heal emotional blockages, offering deep transformation. Nathalie’s story is a beautiful testament to the sacredness of birth and the profound shifts that occur when we are supported, seen, and trust ourselves in the birthing space.

On today’s episode, first-time mother Emily takes us on a deeply personal journey through her rite of passage in a hospital birth. Having carried a lifelong fear of childbirth, Emily found a new perspective when she started hearing positive birth stories within her community. These stories sparked a curiosity in her, showing her that birth could look and feel different from what she had always feared.
When she became pregnant, Emily initially felt unsure of her next steps. After exploring different care providers and navigating a relocation to the coast during her third trimester, she finally settled on a hospital that not only aligned with her vision for birth but also felt like the safest choice, offering her the peace of mind she needed for this transformative experience.
In today’s episode, Emily shares the techniques that kept her grounded and in the zone, along with the education that gave her the confidence and awareness to achieve the unmedicated birth she had always dreamed of.

On today’s show, I have the pleasure to welcome back fellow twin mama, Charlie, to share the birth story of her fraternal twin girls. If you haven’t already heard Charlie’s journey, you can revisit her first two births in episode #68—where she transitioned from a belly birth with her first baby to a VBAC homebirth transfer.
Even before the confirmation, Charlie sensed the presence of twin energy around her, though it still came as a beautiful surprise when she discovered she was carrying two babies. However, this revelation shifted her plans from a midwife-assisted homebirth to a more intentional unfolding of her journey. Rather than rush into decisions, she surrendered to the flow, taking each moment as it came, letting intuition lead the way.
Throughout her pregnancy, Charlie faced her fears head-on, allowing them to surface and be released. She used minimal scans, balancing her need to reassure her husband with her own deep faith in her body’s wisdom. Slowly, the clarity emerged—unless she felt unsafe, she would birth her twins at home, with her husband by her side.
Charlie’s story beautifully dismantles the common belief that twin births are automatically high-risk or dangerous, revealing instead the innate power of birth, even with multiples.

Today, we welcome back Winona as she shares the beautiful story of her most recent birth—the arrival of her son. Winona first shared her journey in episode #106, which was an experience that took her to the fiery depths of transformation, and out of that, she emerged with profound wisdom.
Feeling a deep soul-calling for another baby, Winona opened the door to her son’s arrival. Her pregnancy became an invitation to surrender completely, trusting her baby’s timeline and anchoring into her intuition. She consciously tuned into her needs, never feeling the pull to seek outside guidance, knowing that all the answers she needed were already within. The mastery of her mindset became her greatest tool, as she approached this birth with the intention to work in harmony with her body.
When labour began, Winona called upon all the lessons her first birth had gifted her. She embodied the deep remembrance of those teachings and birthed her son fully immersed in her primal power. Her story is a testament to the innate wisdom we all hold within—guided by instinct and a mastery of mindset, the most powerful tools we possess.

On today’s episode, Yasmin shares her journey of preparing for a home birth and how she navigated the unexpected twists with resilience.. Yasmin's journey toward birth began long before she even met her husband. She consciously chose to fill her mind with stories of birth that were rooted in strength, empowerment, and love. What truly stood out to her was the undeniable power of birthing in a space that felt safe and familiar—home. When labour began, Yasmin felt excited and ready to embrace the rite of passage that lay ahead..
However, as the hours stretched into days, her experience shifted. Prodromal labour tested her strength in ways she hadn’t anticipated. Exhaustion crept in, and Yasmin, in tune with her intuition, made the decision to transfer to the hospital.
What followed was a testament to Yasmin’s inner fire—the fierce mama within her emerged as she advocated for her desires during her belly birth. In surrendering to the unfolding of her birth experience, Yasmin shares the profound lessons she learnt about releasing control and embracing the flow of birth, wherever it may take you. And in the end, her greatest reward was finally meeting her beautiful 5.8kg baby boy.

Today we’re joined by Jo, a Forensic Accountant turned Psychic Medium, sharing her four birth stories. Growing up in a family of eight, Jo was surrounded by babies, and hospital births were simply the norm. Her first birth experience was profoundly shaped by her mother-in-law’s illness and passing, which, unbeknownst to her at the time, would mark her initiation into the world of mediumship.
Today, Jo opens up about her hospital births, which she once saw as positive, yet were shaped by a cascade of interventions - inductions, episiotomies, NICU stays, and even an epidural injury. It was through the gift of mediumship and learning to trust her intuition that Jo realised all the wisdom she needed to guide her through her fourth pregnancy and birth was already within her. Jo's journey is a powerful reminder of the innate and sacred wisdom that we all carry within us.

On today’s episode, I sit down with Chloe, the other half of The Road to Wisdom podcast, as she shares her five birth experiences. She begins with her first experience at a birth centre, where she had a fast, four-hour labour at almost 42 weeks. Despite the quick and intense nature of her labour, she found safety in her birth space and instinctively turned inward to birth her baby. This experience became the foundation for her future births and the choices she made.
Her second birth was a planned homebirth, but it took an unexpected turn when her baby arrived prematurely at 35 weeks and required time in the NICU. This vulnerable experience deepened her understanding of the medical system and impacted her mindset. However, during her next pregnancy, she overcame any lingering doubts, restored her trust in her body, and birthed her third baby safely at home at 38 weeks.
Chloe’s fourth birth felt more like a gentle unfolding, and marked the arrival of her first son. By the time she was preparing for the birth of her fifth baby, Chloe shares how she laid crucial groundwork with her midwife to reclaim the sacredness of her fourth. Join us as Chloe discusses the profound lessons and personal reflections from her birthing season.

On today’s episode I sit down with Keshia, one of the cohosts of The Road to Wisdom podcast, as we dive into her five unique birth experiences. Keshia’s journey into motherhood began with a hospital birth under the care of a private OB who had also delivered her and her siblings. Though her first birth was free of interventions and medication, it was only after meeting other mums and hearing their stories that she began to piece together the deeper aspects of childbirth and its lasting impact.
Her path took an unexpected turn during her second pregnancy when her father’s illness and passing coincided with the birth of her son. Her third birth, a freebirth at home, mirrored her previous experience and left her with a deep sense that, although two children had been the original plan, the presence of a fourth child—a daughter—was unmistakable. Today, we explore how she navigated her fourth birth during COVID, her experience with stop-and-start labour, and the 25-minute speedy entrance of her fifth baby.
This is a story filled with wonder, wisdom, and a glimpse into Keshia’s deepest experiences, which she shares in full over on The Road to Wisdom podcast.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the inspiring Shelby—mother of three, Vinyasa, Yin, Prenatal, and Postnatal Yoga Teacher, and Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery Practitioner. Booking into a birth centre where she had continuity of care and going through her prenatal yoga training, Shelby felt ready for her journey. Despite having a water birth, she experienced a sense of disconnection and described herself as feeling lost.
Shelby desired a different path for her next birth but held fear around delivering vaginally due to her previous birth and prolapse. During this labour, she experienced the beginnings of the fetal ejection reflex for the first time, which was a powerful moment of bodily wisdom. However, hospital protocols and interventions eventually led to a cesarean birth. Despite this, Shelby embraced each step with pride and surrender, finding magical moments of peace and beauty along the way.
Her third birth was where true transformation unfolded. Drawing on her wisdom as a Rebirthing Breathwork Practitioner, Shelby applied the lessons from her previous experiences and the profound insights from her personal journey. She takes us through her empowering third birth at home, a healing experience that brought her full circle in all the most beautiful ways.

Today’s episode, I have the delight to be chatting with first-time mother, Jordan. Jordan’s experience in the hospital as a practicing midwife was described as shell-shocking. She had an innate understanding that many of the procedures performed on women were more harmful than helpful, which led her to choose the path of birthing her baby at home, where she felt safe and comfortable. When it came time to conceive her first child, she eventually sought out fertility support. Absorbing all the resources on undisturbed physiological birth, combined with her midwifery knowledge, gave her the confidence to embrace her unique path.
Today, she takes us through the boundaries she set to keep her birth space sacred and her experience with cervical shock syndrome.

Today on the podcast, Holly, a mother of three beautiful boys, shares her contrasting birth experiences and her journey with mental health. At 21, just before a powerlifting competition, Holly unexpectedly discovered she was pregnant. With no prior understanding of physiological birth or available care models, she takes us through the path she chose while navigating a diagnosis of hypertension due to high blood pressure readings.
When she became pregnant with her second child, Holly knew she wanted a more aligned experience. She found an OB who immediately recognised that her previous hypertension diagnosis was actually white coat hypertension, a condition where anxiety in clinical settings causes elevated blood pressure readings. Navigating profound mental health challenges during this pregnancy, Holly shares how connecting with a practitioner helped her manage her mental well-being.
Holly then takes us through the experience of her dream third birth at home and the fight she faced with her BMI reading. A story of unwavering determination and resilience, she shares her journey, filled with highs, lows, and invaluable lessons.

On today’s episode, we explore the contrasting journeys of Brooke’s two births. Brooke's first pregnancy was a planned and smooth experience, much like her initial birth plan. She envisioned a minimal pain experience, even joking she would "walk backwards into the hospital." However, the reality was a traumatic birth that left her shaken. Initially accepting this as normal, it wasn't until she heard other women who had experienced trauma similar to hers, describe their second births as empowering, that she began to question her own experience and the trauma she carried.
When Brooke unexpectedly conceived her second child, she was determined to birth outside the system that had caused her so much pain. Despite facing resistance from an OB who refused to acknowledge the crucial information around her first birth's blood loss, Brooke fought for and ultimately secured the homebirth she longed for.
Today, Brooke shares the profound differences between her two experiences. She recounts the disbelief and reverence she felt during her second birth, experiencing the true power of a physiological birth left undisturbed.

On today's episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming first-time mother Ashneeta to the show. She will share the transformative journey of bringing her son into the world.
After enduring the heartache of a pregnancy loss, Ash channeled her grief into a commitment to her health, spending the next year working with a naturopath to create the healthiest, most nurturing environment for her future baby.
As Ash recounts her birth, she shares the moment she realised her surges were different from those described in other women's stories. Yet, her mindset remained strong, rooted in the belief that although her journey was unfolding in an unexpected way, her body was perfectly designed to birth. Her trust in herself never wavered.
Ash also takes us through the special moment she knew she had found her doula, describing the invaluable support that carried her through every step of her pregnancy. When fears and questions surfaced, her doula was there, a beacon of calm and reassurance.
This episode is a beautiful, inspiring story of Ash's initiation into motherhood, honouring her rite of passage through birth with love and reverence.

On today’s episode, we welcome back midwife and mother of three, Amanda. Amanda first shared her journey in episode #45 of Positive Birth Australia, where she recounted her first two home births. This time, Amanda’s pregnancy came as a surprise, arriving sooner than her family had anticipated as they were planning to travel around Australia in a van. Despite the unexpected timing, she embraced her baby’s timeline and welcomed the joy of pregnancy.
Having experienced spontaneous labour at 37 weeks with her previous birth, she was prepared for another early arrival. However, as is often the case, no two births are the same, and Amanda found herself learning a new lesson in surrender as her daughter once again chose her own unique timeline.
Join us as Amanda shares her beautiful experience of birthing her nearly 5kg baby girl in all her power and the moment she guided her midwife to assist her in bringing her daughter into the world. This incredible story showcases the power of the female body and the reality that the babies we grow are the babies we are built to birth.

On today's episode we hear from first-time mother, Jess, as she shares her empowering hospital birth story. After two and a half years and four pregnancies, it was finally Jess's moment to welcome her baby into the world. With two sister-in-laws as midwives - one specialising in homebirth -Jess found herself surrounded by a wealth of knowledge and support, which sparked her excitement and deepened her understanding of childbirth.
Guided by her midwife relatives and initially considering a homebirth, Jess ultimately felt most comfortable birthing in a hospital setting. However, she didn't just choose any hospital; she carefully selected one that aligned with her birth preferences, particularly one that supported water birth. At just over 39 weeks, when her waters broke, Jess's initiation into motherhood truly began.
Join us as Jess recounts the moments of her transformative experience, the challenges she faced, and the joy she felt bringing her son earthside.
