About this episode

In the final episode of 2025, Kate Martyn addresses common misconceptions about hypnobirthing and celebrates the podcast's milestones.

Welcome to the final episode of 2025. In this special solo episode, I'm busting the most common misconceptions about hypnobirthing and clearing up what it really is — and what it definitely isn't. From myths around hypnosis to misunderstandings about pain, control, and mindset, this episode is all about separating fact from fiction so you can feel informed and empowered. This episode is also a celebration. We've officially reached 40 episodes and 15,000 downloads, and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you for tuning in, sharing, and supporting the podcast this year. It has been another incredible year of sharing evidence-based, empowering conversations around pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond — the things we so often aren't taught, but absolutely deserve to know. Thank you for being part of this community.
