Can we just be honest? Nobody actually sleeps through the night! Not you, not me, not your baby, and that's completely normal.

In this episode, I'm joined by Rachael from Hey Sleepy Baby and we get real about sleep patterns and why waking up in the night isn't the problem we've been told it is. We're talking about normal night waking and why your baby's temperament plays a huge role in their sleep patterns.

She also shares practical ways to troubleshoot sleep issues. This one's for every knackered parent who's been told their baby "should" be sleeping through by now.

Somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing birth as a rite of passage and started treating it like a medical procedure. It's time to change that.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Elaine Welteroth about her incredible journey from journalism to founding the Birth Fund, an organisation working to get midwifery care to families who need it most. We're diving into why midwifery care is so important, how the medical model of birth has let women down, and what it means to reclaim birth as a rite of passage rather than just another medical event.

Elaine gets real about trusting your intuition during childbirth, choosing a birth team that truly supports you, and why surrendering to the process (not fighting it) can be one of the most empowering things you'll ever do.

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.
