In this deeply moving episode of Mother of All Journeys, co-host Michelle Owens shares her story — one of joy and heartbreak, strength and surrender.

Pregnant with her first child while her own mum was gravely ill, Michelle found herself straddling two life-altering transitions: the arrival of new life and the slow goodbye to the one who gave her hers.

With limited time or space to prepare for birth, Michelle’s experience was raw, emotional, and ultimately transformative. It was also the seed that grew into her work as a hypnobirthing practitioner, helping women feel calm, confident, and connected in their own birth journeys.

This is a conversation about grief, birth, resilience — and the power that can come from walking through them all at once.
