Customer Reviews
Incredible stories, healing and informative
Jordan does such a wonderful job, of talking to women about their birth stories including the important post natal care and events that can happen after birth. She is such an advocate for all things birth and the podcasts helped me immensely! ❤️❤️
Really interesting! Interviewer could be more engaged
Love the content! Love the focus on birth and the stories these great mamas share. Tiny bit of feedback; interviewer seems a little bored and not too engaged sometimes, just seems like she’s trying to hurry up the answers or doesn’t seem to be listening too much… other than that it’s an awesome podcast!
Interesting but some room for improvement
Love hearing these stories but think this series could be even better if Jordyn undertook a bit of interview training to gain more confidence in this area. There are times when it feels like an answer or line of conversation could be unpacked further and often you can hear that the interviewee is looking for prompting to elaborate on something but instead the interview abruptly skips to the next question.
Would be good to sometimes have fewer questions and more of an inquisitive, conversational flow as opposed to going through the same questions sequentially. I otherwise do enjoy the podcast though
