 Summer voice notes are here — starting with a big one:

Motherhood got infinitely easier the moment I stopped trying so hard to parent.

When I dropped the pressure to perform, narrate, guide every moment… everything softened.

I’ll be sharing how I moved through guilt, stopped questioning myself, and became an unshakeably confident mother — not because I cracked some perfect routine, but because I let go.

Listen in, then come tell me your thoughts over on Instagram.

What do you want me to dive into next?

Listen to this birth story with your birth partner - it’s powerful, emotional, and full of practical gems. Thank you both SO much for joining us!!
A beautifully positive hospital birth that’ll leave you feeling inspired, reassured, and ready.

BACK AUTUM

EVERY FRIDAY 9AM!!

n this powerful episode, Poppy Child is joined by award-winning author and journalist Lucy Jones to unpack the raw, transformative journey of matrescence — the psychological, emotional, and physical transition into motherhood.

Together, they dive deep into what happens when your identity is cracked open, your nervous system rewires, and your sense of self is stretched beyond recognition. Expect honest stories, mind-expanding research, and an unfiltered look at why becoming a mother is one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman’s life.

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or years into motherhood — this conversation will help you name the shift, understand your emotions, and feel less alone. If you’ve ever asked “Why didn’t anyone tell me this?”, this episode is for you.

Topics we cover:

• What is matrescence, really?

• The invisible identity shift of motherhood

• Mental health, rage, grief, joy — and how they all collide

Join us inside The Village - my private membership where you get live coaching with me and access to incredible childbirth experts who are here to guide, inform, and support you through every stage of pregnancy and birth.

In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Mollie O'Brien, a midwife, researcher and educator, to talk all things birth biomechanics. We explore how your body, baby and movements work together during labour, and how understanding this can make a real difference to how birth unfolds. Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, or just want to feel more confident in your body’s abilities -this one’s a must-listen.

This is a lovely story to listen to while you're out on a walk. Mia, a mum of two, shares her positive home birth-labouring in water, supported, calm, and powerful. A reminder that hearing real birth stories can help you feel more prepared and connected to what’s possible.🥰

A stunning positive birth story for you all ❤️

Eva gave birth at home, surrounded by love and calm.

She wanted to share her story to inspire others who are thinking about a home birth - to show what’s possible when you feel informed, supported, and connected to your instincts.🥰

In this episode, we speak with Dr Melanie Jackson, a leading expert in maternity care.

We dive into the different philosophies that shape how birth is viewed-by midwives, obstetricians, and even institutions-and how those views can influence your experience.

We unpack common interventions in birth, exploring their risks, benefits, and when they might be necessary.

You’ll also learn how to navigate the maternity system with confidence so you can make informed choices, stay in your power, and plan for the best possible birth.

🎧 A must-listen for anyone preparing for labour—whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, or still figuring it all out.
