You both played a huge role in my home birth journey and journey into becoming a birth worker. Forever blessed, your podcast will be so missed but I will be praying for all the adventures to come for your family! 🩷

I am having a water birth in a birthing center in Mexico, which is wayyyy different than where I had originally thought I would deliver my first baby. But the more I educate myself on home births/birth centers the more I know this is the way for me. I’m so happy to have found your podcast, and am feeling increasingly informed and empowered to delivery my baby boy in Feb 2024! Thank you 1000x over for giving me my nightly source of binge-worthy content 🙏🏼💙

This episode is an absolute must-listen! Debra Pascali-Bonaro's passion for pleasurable and ecstatic birth is contagious. Her journey and work in the birthing community are truly inspiring. If you're interested in birth and empowerment, don't miss this episode. It's like a burst of positive energy for your day!

I love this podcast so much. Very insightful and I can’t recommend to my clients.

Love this podcast I look forward to listening a new episode every week. Sarah and Matthew are a breath of fresh air. I have not had a home birth but I have had 4 natural births in 3 different countries Canada, U.S.A and Germany. Germany was by far the best experience I delivered at the most famous birth clinic in the country and I was fully supported in a beautiful physiological water birth by the most amazing midwife….

This was the first home birth podcast I found/listened to, and it still is my favorite after over a year of listening!

Most of the episodes are helpful stories or interviews, though sometimes there’s a guest who shares inaccurate info. But overall a can be a good resource for gaining confidence in birth. Sometimes seems like the hosts feel they’re supposed to say something profound but instead end up throwing a lot of word salad around. I’ve noticed it’s strange that several times an episode they say “let’s take a quick break and hear from our sponsors” then it literally goes right back to the interview. There aren’t sponsors and it’s so odd that’s put in there or not edited out. The self promos and business updates at the beginning are understandable since it’s their podcast but sometimes go on and on for 5-10 minutes.

Understandable that there are promotions at the beginning, but I was disappointed to be 10 minutes in and still not at the conversation they said the podcast was about. 😅

So, I’ve followed Sarah Bivens awhile now. I’m glad that there is another voice added to the birth world . Different perspectives and opinions do matter in birth, so that you can form your own stance through that. However, this podcast is geared more in the middle. Free birth and wild birth is never mentioned. It’s only about home birth with midwives and doulas V.S a hospital birth. When in reality there are other sides and options to birth. Midwives and doulas are not the only option, and I wish that was discussed more so other people could know.

I love your podcast and have learned so much from it. But man… You guys could really use some coaching on how to host a podcast. Your interviews are so full of long, awkward silence pauses. The people you’re interviewing are not professional story tellers, you need to help them tell their story by prompting them, acknowledging their words, asking a question here or there, or even just summarizing what they shared. Otherwise you end up with long drawn out stories. Or you get someone so passionate, they literally never stop talking and you’re giving us 1 hour of someone ranting.
