How did you start a podcast? And so much more - with Australian Birth Stories host, Sophie Walker!

In our 165th episode of Beyond the Bump, we have Sophie Walker on the pod. Sophie is a fellow podcast host, @australianbithstories, and we chat to her a little bit about podcasting, a little bit about birth and most excitingly her NEW book!!! What is Australian Birth Stories all about? What led to it? And how long has it been around for? How many applications has Sophie received for Australian Birth Stories? And how does she choose which story to air? How have people’s openness to talking about their birth stories changed over the years? How does Sophie find talking about birth all the time? Given that birth stories can be quite a controversial topic at times. Has Sophie ever recorded an episode that she then decided not to publish? Pros and cons of having a co-host versus working solo. How does Sophie juggle it all? Sophie has spoken to 100s of women about their births – what are the top three things that she recommends someone should do while they’re pregnant to prepare for birth? Did Sophie ever experience gender disappointment having birthed three boys? Now that Sophie has spoken to so many women on Australian Birth Stories, would she go back and do things differently for her births?
