This week we’re diving into the ins and outs of how Beth has thoughtfully mapped out her plans and intentions to take maternity leave from her business, PowerBirth.

It’s a conversation that explores the many variations of how women are navigating work - building businesses, fuelling passion projects, contributing financially - while also surrendering deeply into the beauty, slowness, and intensity of early motherhood.

We speak honestly about the pinch point so many women feel: the tension between professional identity and maternal identity. The desire for spaciousness, presence, and softness… alongside the very real financial and practical considerations that don’t disappear just because a baby (or two!!) arrives.

Beth shares what intentional planning has looked like for her - what she’s putting in place, what she’s letting go of, and how she’s preparing both logistically and emotionally for this next season.

If you’re navigating maternity leave, returning to work, running a business, or simply sitting in the in-between, we hope this episode makes you feel seen.

If this conversation resonated, please share it with a Mum friend who’s also wading her way through the juggle. And if you haven’t already, we’d be so grateful for a rating or review — it helps more women find our little corner of the internet.

We know we’re bias but if you’ve listened and you’re looking for your own birth education now is the perfect opportunity to book with PowerBirth ✨
