| 2/17/26 |  E224. The Lie We Tell Women About Birth | The Lie We Tell Women About Birth - with Helen Ashfield A challenging or traumatic birth can leave a deep imprint, one that extends far beyond the early postpartum weeks and can shape how the future feels, too. When thoughts of another pregnancy or birth arise, they often carry a powerful mix of emotions, memories, and questions. This week, I’m joined by the wonderful Helen, an incredible mum of 2 who I’ve had the honour of supporting through my YPJ - Your Pregnancy and Postnatal Journey programme. Although Helen prepared for her first birth in all the ways we’re told we “should,” the experience itself was not close to what she wanted. Determined to approach things differently the next time, she chose to reclaim her power and prepare in a new way. Today, I’m so grateful to share space with her as she opens up about her journey, with the hope of supporting and guiding others as they navigate birth themselves.

| 1/20/26 |  E221. What About Dad? The Side of Parenthood Men Rarely Talk About with Mathew Lewis Carter | What About Dad? Mathew Lewis Carter Opens Up on the Reality of Fatherhood. Dads are often profoundly affected by pregnancy and parenthood, even if their experiences are less visible. Many feel pressure to stay strong and supportive while quietly navigating their own fears, identity shifts, and emotional challenges. The transition to fatherhood can trigger changes in mental health, especially when sleep deprivation, financial pressures, or relationship strain enter the picture. And because society tends to focus primarily on mothers, dads can feel sidelined, unsupported, or unsure of where to turn when they’re struggling. In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Mathew Lewis Carter @mathewlcarter @secretlifeofdads brings to light a side of parenthood that is too often overlooked: the emotional and mental health struggles fathers face behind the scenes. From the unexpected weight of postnatal depression to challenges, Mathew shares the reality so many dads live but rarely speak about. Together, we explore why men’s experiences are so often dismissed, how these struggles impact relationships and identity, and what real support for fathers should look like. This is an episode for anyone who has felt unheard in their journey to parenthood, and for every family who wants to understand the full picture of what it means to become a parent today.

In a world that celebrates doing it all, this episode is your permission slip to stop striving and start being, because your children don’t need perfect, they need present. This episode is for every mother who’s ever whispered to herself, “Am I doing enough?” If you’ve felt the guilt of not getting it all right, or the exhaustion of trying to live up to impossible standards, you’re not alone.

| 6/30/25 |  E212. Achieving your dream birth after birth trauma | Achieving your dream birth after birth trauma With Megan Murray Experiencing a traumatic or difficult birth can have lasting effects, not only in the immediate postpartum period but well into the future. The thought of another pregnancy or birth can then bring up a whole new wave of emotions and reflections. This week I am joined by an incredible, fellow double boy mum, Megan. Not only have I had the pleasure of navigating the 1-2 transition alongside Megan over the last year but also supporting her in YPJ (Your Pregnancy and Postnatal Journey too. Megans first birth was a traumatic experience leaving her to feel like she had to have a planned c-section with her second, except deep down she didn’t want to make a decision based on fear and chose empowerment instead and that is where we came in and Megans strength and determination shone through. Today I have the privilege of talking to Megan as she shares her story to help others navigate birth fear.

This week I am joined by an incredible mum of two little girls, Laura. Laura is hugely inspirational and the journey she has been on is one I am really looking forward to sharing. When I met Laura she was in her first trimester battling Hyperemesis and impacted by the aftermath of her first birth experience that was really traumatic. I am beyond delighted that Laura’s second birth was the birth she describes as her dream birth and she has kindly come on the podcast to talk about her journey which we hope will inspire and reassure other parents navigating pregnancy after birth trauma too.
