In this episode we’re joined by Helen, a midwife and perinatal trauma specialist, for an incredibly open and powerful chat about what birth trauma really looks like, and why it’s not always what you’d expect.
Helen opens up about developing PTSD following her own trauma, and how that shapes her work supporting others. Plus she shares her thoughts on birth plans and the importance of consistency in care in the lead up to birth.
Whether you've experienced a challenging birth, are preparing for one, or simply want to understand and support others better, this episode is for you. You can find more about Helen HERE.
As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
