The Women Who Guided Me
The Women Who Guided Me is an Australian podcast bringing together wise, experienced women in the birth and postpartum space, in one place, so more women can find them.
From doulas and midwives to somatic therapists, bodyworkers and birth educators, women who don't just inform but help you trust yourself. This podcast isn’t just about adding more information but empowering you to own your birth journey.
Each episode is a warm, honest conversation with a practitioner whose work genuinely makes a difference, covering everything from birth values and self-advocacy to postpartum healing and recovery.
The podcast grew from my own experience — an empowering vaginal breech birth supported by an extraordinary network of women — and my desire to make those wise voices accessible to every woman navigating pregnancy, birth and motherhood.
