Great podcast

Jordan’s podcast is an invaluable resource for expectant parents and for anyone who just loves birth stories. I love the variety of interviews and people she has on the show.

Podcast host is not very good at interacting with guests.

I’ve listened to this podcast twice as I follow Rebecca Keil on Instagram and listening to her birth stories. Rebecca is a great story teller but I feel like the host is not really listening to what her guests are saying, she’s just like “mmm” “hmmm” and doesn’t respond to the answers her guests give, just moves onto whatever next question she has in her head.

Positive Birth Movement - Love It!

I am a midwife but also a mother to a young daughter whom I gave birth to in 2018. These birthing stories allow me to reflect on my own experiences professionally and personally and allow me to envisage what having my second baby would be like. Love this podcast a lot and will continue to listen in as much as possible!
