Storytelling is an intimate and powerful form of birth education

I’m Sophie, founder and host of Australian Birth Stories, the podcast with over 8 million downloads that’s endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives. I’ve got a Masters in Public Health and a passion for encouraging women to actively prepare for birth and postpartum. Beyond the microphone I’m a mum to three rambunctious boys who create a lot of joy and mess.
