From fear to empowerment: how hypnobirthing reshaped Maud’s journey into motherhood. When Maud became a mother, she was terrified of giving birth. That fear led her to discover hypnobirthing — a practice that not only transformed her experience of childbirth, but reshaped the course of her life. In this episode, Maud opens up about how motherhood pushed her to release a former identity, grieve the loss of a business she once poured everything into, and slowly rebuild from a place of self-trust. Today, she’s the founder of Bliss in Birth, where she helps women feel calm, confident, and powerful during pregnancy, birth, postpartum — and even in moments of birth anxiety or fear of childbirth. Together, we explore what it means to choose yourself in motherhood, how to turn fear into fuel, and why postpartum is a process to be lived, not a problem to fix. If you’ve ever felt anxious about birth or uncertain about who you’re becoming as a mom, Maud’s story will remind you that you’re not alone.
