Podcasts about positive birth company

Siobhan Miller, founder of The Positive Birth Company, found herself supporting women all over the world after her own traumatic birth experience led her to hypnobirthing, and changed her professional direction too! Siobhan worked in marketing before her second child came along. She'd already decided she wanted to change career and had gone back to university to study for a Masters in Psychology. But it was the birth experience with her first child, and the desire to have a completely different experience second time around, that caused her to find hypnobirthing and everything that followed. So profound was its impact that she became a hypnobirthing teacher, supporting parents to be around London. She saw the impact and wanted to help more people beyond London, and so the online side of the business and The Positive Birth Company was, well, born! This is the last special episode of the podcast, sharing the stories of the fabulous founders who let me interview them for my latest book, You've Got This. I hope you really enjoy this...

Before I fell pregnant, I honestly couldn't have taken less interest in pregnancy, birth or babies & for the first two thirds of my pregnancy my attitude remained the same. Until I read a book & that book sparked an obsession and sent me deep down the rabbit hole and I am now utterly obsessed with the science & magic of birth. The book I read was about hypnobirthing. If you like me, before I read the book, think that means I'll have to invite a man with a pendulum and a shiny black cape to my birth. You couldn't be more wrong. Learning about hypnobirthing and reimagining the possibilities for birth has left me feeling empowered and dare I say it - excited for this huge life event. So if you have a pregnant person in your life - please send them this conversation, they are going to be eternally grateful to you. The woman responsible for my new obsession is Siobhan Miller, she's the Founder of the Positive Birth Company. In this episode, we're going to give you an introduction to hypnobirthing & teach you some practical tools that will absolutely make your birth better.- Want to become a podcast sponsor, got some feedback for me or just fancy a chat?

The baby is almost here. In this episode, India Rakusen explores how the baby moves through the cervix into the birth canal to the moment the baby's head starts to crown. And through all of this, how is pain acknowledged and addressed?

Siobhan is a proud single mum who founded The Positive Birth Company. She talks about her difficult relationship with her mother as a teenager and how she had to make a life-changing decision when discovering she was pregnant as a young single woman. She also discusses the ways in which her attitude towards her mum has developed as she has begun to see the positive influence she has had. “I absolutely wanted to prove that you're all wrong. It was only my mum that was saying it, but I felt like the general kind of societal attitude towards me was, ‘you're going to be a young single good for nothing mother'. And I was determined to not be that.” ********************* Huge thanks to our sponsor, The https://our-voices.captivate.fm/rya-home (Royal Yachting Association) (RYA) Visit the https://our-voices.captivate.fm/rya (RYA website) to find your local club and get involved ********************* http://ourvoicespodcast.com/ (Check out the Our Voices website for more on this story) http://ourvoicespodcast.com/ (We're also on )https://www.facebook.com/ourvoicesinthenhs (Facebook), https://twitter.com/OurVoices14 (Twitter) and https://www.instagram.com/ourvoicespod/ (Instagram) A https://our-voices.captivate.fm/fascinate-productions (Fascinate) Production

“Home birth is not all about just the “birth” part.” - a well stated concept from today's guest Andrea Sidun. Andrea talks to us about her 3rd birth - her first planned home birth, and the sequence of events throughout the experience that led to a hospital transfer. She also walks us through some of the details of her first two births and how they influenced her choice to plan for an HBAC.  Listening to DIAH helped her in her preparation. When she listened to other HBAC stories she thought, “if they can do it, I can do it!” She also shares how she is processing the hospital transfer element of her birth and the emotions that can come with that. Here are some of her words: “Since he is our last baby, it was pretty devastating to me that things did not go as planned. I was more than just disappointed, and still have some grief and trauma thinking of the sequence of events. I have a lot to be grateful for too though. The “home” part of my home birth experience was hands down the best out of my three children. The care and attention the midwives provided, along with the comfort of being home, made it my easiest labor by far. I am also so thankful our midwife was so experienced, and knew when to make the call that we needed to transfer. It really validated our trust in her, and her decisiveness may have possibly saved our baby's life. If I had to do it over again, I would hands down still choose to plan a home birth. I wish so much that I could have delivered at home, but I have comfort knowing that my c-section was likely unavoidable and not caused by any medical interventions. I think my story is important because it goes to show that a home birth is not all about just the “birth” part, and that everything you go through during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum is important too. It also highlights the importance of choosing a provider you know has your family's best interests in mind, and who won't take any unnecessary risks for the sake of their own pride. My home birth team took such good care of us during pregnancy and labor, and even though they weren't there for the birth, they came and visited us at home postpartum. We could just tell they really cared for us, and put their whole hearts into the entire home birth experience.” Things we talk about in this episode: Impact of not preparing or planning for your birth VBAC in a hospital Listening to birth stories for inspiration Hiring a doula Talking to your partner about home birth (especially if they're not fully on board) An interesting call to 911 for hospital transfer Post c-section complications Links: The VBAC Link Podcast: https://www.thevbaclink.com/podcast/ The Positive Birth Company: https://thepositivebirthcompany.co.uk/ Doing It At Home book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3vJcPmU DIAH website: https://www.diahpodcast.com/ DIAH Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doingitathome/ DIAH YouTube: https://bit.ly/3pzuzQC DIAH Store: https://yoursuccessfulhomebirth.com/ DIAH Merch: https://bit.ly/3qhwgAe  Give Back to DIAH: https://bit.ly/3qgm4r9

Victoria Hutton aka Video by Victoria is a freelance videographer and editor based in London, and has previously held the roles of Head of Video at both Mumsnet and HELLO! Now, in a slight change of direction, she's helping businesses of all sizes embrace and see real results from their use of video. Victoria started her business not that long before Covid, and being unable to work in the way she was planning certainly caused her to get creative and pivot, and create the #selfshootclub. Now, in addition to inspiring creators and founders to create their own video through lifting the lid on techniques and more, Victoria has also worked on some stunning campaigns for brands like Holly & Co and The Positive Birth Company, to name but two. And the great thing is, she takes us along on the journey through her social media! Of course, in addition to hearing all about Victoria's journey, we also chatted about the highs and lows of self employment and Victoria kindly shared some hints and tips to help us all take better video. Enjoy!

In this episode we talk about hypnobirthing – what it is; how it works; and tools/techniques you can practice in the lead up to, and during birth.Despite the terrible name, its foundations are based entirely in the science, psychology and biology of labour, and how to influence these for a positive birth experience. Hypnobirthing tools and techniques we cover are:Breathwork‘Hacking' your birth environmentThe ‘BRAIN' framework for making informed choicesPositive mindset work including positive affirmations, guided meditations, visualisations and positive birth stories What we don't mention is all these tools, not just hacking your birth environment, help maximise your oxytocin (happy hormone), which supports your labour and minimise the adrenaline / cortisol (stress hormones), which slow it down. In our opinion, learning about and practising hypnobirthing is a total no brainer for expectant parents! As mentioned previously, The Positive Birth Company has some excellent resources we highly recommend you check out if interested.Subscribe to the podcast to listen to the next episode as soon as it's outGive us a rating and review, as it will help others find the show  To get in touch, drop us an email: theparentsdiariesuk@gmail.com – we'd love to hear from you!Follow us on Instagram @theparentdiariesukDisclaimer: This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

On Breaking Mum and Dad this week we have a lady who wishes she could go back and experience her positive births again. How many of us can say that eh? After a not-so-great birth to her first child at 21, and the year of post-natal anxiety that followed, Siobhan Miller didn't want a repeat for her second child, and found hypnobirthing. She now runs the Positive Birth Company, initially fostering a group of women in the community to support women, and now running hypnobirthing classes around the country. Siobhan talks to Anna about her first birth, stretch and sweeps, waking up every 20 minutes to check that her baby was still breathing, the single mum-young mum stigma, finding hypnobirthing, the euphoria that followed her home birth to her second and getting pregnant 6 months later.Listen by clicking ‘Play', subscribe on iTunes and please do rate and review to help spread the word. Look out for new episodes every Tuesday and keep the conversation going.@BreakingMadPod / @annawilliamsonofficial****BUY NOW 'Breaking Mum and Dad: The Insider's Guide to Parenting Anxiety'  Find Siobhan:Website: thepositivebirthcompany.co.ukInstagram: @thepositivebirthcompany  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this podcast, I'm talking to Siobhan Miller from The Positive Birth Company about her massively successful online course and hypno-birthing business. As a 31 year old man, with zero (I think) children, the concept of kids, birthing and measuring contractions is slightly outside my wheelhouse. However, when I met Siobhan, she talked me through her business and said she had a 6 figure (close to 7 figure) online course business. On the call we talk through mission and vision, and why chasing money doesn't get you customers, serving an audience does. Siobhan now has an app, blog, massive social following and a book. Needless to say, I was in awe of her work ethic and success. Plus, she brought me brownies so I was super happy with that.
