Positive Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood by Pop That Mumma founder of Birth Box and Oxytocin Bubble

In this BONUS episode, I’m answering your mostasked questions about advocating for yourself during pregnancy and birth.

I get questions about this topic all the time on Instagram@PopThatMumma and thought I’d record a bonus episode about it, because knowing your options in birth is one thing, but speaking up in the moment, when you’re tired, vulnerable, or in labor is a WHOLE other skill.
I share practical tools, mindset shifts, and simple phrases you can use so your decisions come from clarity, not fear so youcan feel calm, informed and confident making decisions that are right for you and your baby.
If you want deeper support, meditations and nervous-system based birth prep, you can explore Birth Box,and use code PODCAST to save 20%

Are ageing and motherhood actually a parallel journey?
In this episode, I'm chatting with Dr Amanda Hanson, a clinical psychologist who's flipping the script on how we think about getting older as women, and why that matters so much when navigating motherhood.
We're diving into the stuff nobody talks about: how to stop fearing ageing and start seeing it as something almost spiritual, why society's beauty standards are doing our heads in (especially postpartum), and what emotional hygiene actually means.
Dr Hanson gets real about building self-worth from the inside out, celebrating your body for what it's done rather than what it looks like, and finding strength during those incredibly vulnerable early days.
Let's change the conversation.

Let's talk about the mental side of birth because that's where the real work happens!
In this episode, I'm getting into how we can build that inner strength, practise staying calm when things get intense, and learn from the tough bits.
I'm sharing the things that have genuinely helped me, like simple meditation practice, ways to check in with yourself, and how to build the kind of mental resilience that'll carry you through labour and beyond. Whether this is your first baby or you've done this before, I want you to walk away feeling like you can trust yourself and your body.

In this quick episode I discuss the power of meditation for pregnancy and birth. If you do ONE THING and one thing only let it be the meditation practise. I honestly think it is so valuable and can help eliminate fear of birth and rewire your brain.
