This week I'm joined by Georgie Miles-Hale, a fellow member of the Mind London Marathon 2026 team. She shares her powerful story of giving birth to her daughter in 2025 — a delivery that became traumatic when she experienced a severe haemorrhage and significant blood loss.

Georgie speaks honestly about the physical and emotional aftermath, and how the experience impacted her mental health. We also talk about her journey with running and how movement became a vital part of her healing.

This is a conversation about resilience, recovery, and the realities of birth trauma. Georgie also shares heartfelt advice for anyone who has experienced a traumatic birth, as well as gentle encouragement for new mums navigating the early days of motherhood.

Content note: This episode discusses birth trauma and haemorrhage.
