All Swiss Birth Stories Episodes

What happens when careful preparation meets the unpredictable reality of childbirth? Marie, an American yoga and fitness instructor living in Switzerland, takes us on her journey from visualization to adaptation as she welcomes her daughter at Spital Lachen in Canton Schwyz.

Marie's story begins with perfect timing. A five-week yoga teacher training in Bali while her Swiss husband was deployed, creating ideal conditions for her body to be "ready to receive" when they reunited. After experiencing a chemical pregnancy months earlier, Marie approached conception with intentionality, even manifesting a dream of a positive pregnancy test the very morning she discovered she was pregnant.

Drawing on her decade of yoga experience, Marie navigated pregnancy by deeply listening to her body's changing needs. "Movement was still prioritized," she explains, "it just started to look really different." From first-trimester naps between teaching classes to modified third-trimester practices when pelvic pain limited her mobility, Marie embodied the balance between activity and rest. This wisdom inspired her to create "Empowered Pregnancy," a series of accessible yoga videos for expectant mothers.

Though Marie had visualized a peaceful water birth, her actual delivery required quick adaptation when her baby's heart rate began dropping during contractions. The medical team discovered her umbilical cord was unusually short, necessitating a vacuum-assisted birth. "My biggest fears going into labor were having to have a C-section, getting cut, and the epidural needle," Marie shares candidly. "And I experienced two out of the three." Yet through breathing techniques learned in hypnobirthing and her husband's steady presence, she remained grounded even as plans changed.

The most profound insight from Marie's journey comes from the yogic concept of "sankalpa"—a heartfelt intention stated as if already true. For months before conceiving, she affirmed "I am a mom" during meditations. "I feel like I spoke that into existence," she reflects, tears welling up. "What we truly desire desires us too... It doesn't always look the way that we think it will, but it always turns out better than we would have imagined."

That first conversation with your manager after a mental health absence can feel like a test you didn’t study for. In this episode, reintegration coach Karina Schneider shows you how to replace panic with a plan. You’ll learn practical workplace communication tips for preparing for return to work, what to say (and what you don’t have to say), and how to frame requests so they support both workplace mental health and business needs. Karina walks through six focus areas: appreciation, status, needs, check-in rhythm, your manager’s concerns, and team communication, so you can practice self advocacy at work, manage expectations, and start building trust with your manager. You’ll also hear Johann’s story of moving from fear to clarity, proving that returning to work after burnout is easier when you have a script, a structure, and your rights in mind.

This episode is a calm, step-by-step guide for managing burnout in real time: how to discuss job performance after burnout, request adjustments, and co-design strategies for returning to work that protect your energy and help you keep managing job responsibilities without derailing your burnout recovery. It’s about communicating with your employer in a way that supports productivity and mental health support in the workplace.

1. Plan beats panic. Go in with your goals, not just theirs; preparation lowers coping with work stress in the moment.
2. Lead with appreciation. A warm opener sets a collaborative tone for the conversation with your manager.
3. Share status, protect privacy. You control your health details; remember your employee rights after burnout.
4. Ask for what you need. Frame phased hours, appointment flexibility, or task adjustments as ways to restore job performance after burnout.
5. Set a check-in rhythm. Regular touchpoints help with managing workplace expectations and prevent surprises.
6. Surface their concerns. Invite questions to understand resourcing pressures while maintaining self advocacy at work.
7. Own the team message. Agree on how your returning to work after burnout is communicated; scope, hours, and current priorities.
8. Trust builds through clarity. Clear requests + realistic commitments = supporting mental health at work without overpromising.

Follow Back After Burnout for weekly guidance on preparing for return to work and evidence-based tactics that make supporting mental health at work part of how you lead your career.

Back After Burnout is produced by the SwissCast Network, the only podcast network with podcasts produced in, for, or about English-speaking Switzerland.
