In this heartfelt and honest episode, we sit down with midwife, educator, and founder of Birth With Beth, Beth Ryan.

Beth shares not only her professional wisdom from years working in maternity care but also opens up about her own raw and real experience of motherhood, including the emotional and physical shift from one to two children.

With a toddler and a new baby at home, Beth talks candidly about the chaos of trying to work during nap times, the mental load of parenting, and the identity shift that comes with raising little ones. We dive into everything from the myths around birth and pain, to why postpartum care needs a major rethink, and how partners can better support birthing women.

Beth’s passion for empowering parents shines through as she reminds us all that birth doesn’t have to be feared, and that it’s okay for motherhood to feel hard and beautiful at the same time.

This is a must-listen for anyone navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or simply needing to feel seen in the juggle of it all.
