“I’m a nurse and planning to have an unmedicated birth at a birth center in a few weeks, and I wanted to listen to the birth stories of other women who had done the same. I listened to three episodes of this podcast so far and have been pretty turned off by the ads for the patreon and $395 online...”Read full review »

“I wanted to love this podcast because I am expecting my first child and I’ve gotten really into birth stories. Unfortunately the host ruined it for me. She sounds bored and almost annoyed by every guest she has on the show, and she expresses zero curiosity toward them. It’s bizarre and difficult...”Read full review »

“Thank you Brynn for allowing women to simply speak the truth of how their birth stories unfolded. It is a real amazing resource and I have learned so much and am now a north junkie. It isn’t a missed profession necessarily but maybe when I retire I will be a helper pp doula or nanny.
Highly...”Read full review »

“Brynn!
So happy you changed the mix of stories. It started out very pro-natural birth and anti-intervention which I was all about until I had a traumatic and birth injury. I was shocked after hearing all these vanilla, positive stories when I had a birth that was so different.
Now back...”Read full review »

“I have been listening since 2018 while in nursing school, as I wanted to be an L&D nurse and also a mother one day. I’m such a birth nerd and listen several times a week for the past few years. I wanted to hear women’s perspectives, not just what is taught medically, to better serve my...”Read full review »

“Many of the stories I hear from my friends and family involve multiple hospital interventions and/or pain medication. For someone who has wanted the courage to go pain med-free and be as intervention-free as possible, I have found that courage with this podcast’s help! I so appreciate that I can...”Read full review »

And the few times she does comment back it’s with a question...”Read full review »

“I love birth stories, but this doesn’t really feel like an “interview” podcast because the host hardly responds to the women sharing their stories, no matter what details they’re giving.

“I love listening to birth stories but am unable to listen to this podcast. The host is a great person with a lot of knowledge, but I highly recommend they invest in a mic screen or barrier (along with other methods) to filter out mouth noises from the host’s dry mouth. It is difficult to listen to.”

“Sad to hear the opening of the podcast change and now omitting the word “women.” This is a podcast about women doing what women do. Bringing forth new life! We are able to do amazing things as women but we are being erased at the behest of “trans ideology.” I’m sick over it. Do better.”
