Positive Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood by Pop That Mumma founder of Birth Box and Oxytocin Bubble

Let's talk about the mental side of birth because that's where the real work happens!
In this episode, I'm getting into how we can build that inner strength, practise staying calm when things get intense, and learn from the tough bits.
I'm sharing the things that have genuinely helped me, like simple meditation practice, ways to check in with yourself, and how to build the kind of mental resilience that'll carry you through labour and beyond. Whether this is your first baby or you've done this before, I want you to walk away feeling like you can trust yourself and your body.

Ever wondered what your pelvic floor actually does and why everyone keeps talking about Kegels?
In this episode of the Pop That Mumma Podcast, I chat with Dr Sarah Reardon, also known as The Vagina Whisperer, about all things pelvic health, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery.
Dr Reardon, a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist, explains how the pelvic floor muscles support your organs, how pregnancy and childbirth can affect them and what you can do to keep everything strong and healthy. We cover Kegels, perineal massage, pelvic floor therapy, and how to spot signs you need support.
You’ll learn why pelvic floor assessments matter, how proactive care can prevent problems later on and why it’s never too late to start improving your pelvic health.
If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just keen to understand your body better, this episode is for you!

Childbirth in a Modern World: Tapping Into Your Wild Side And Training For Instinctive Birth

Breastfeeding is a learned skill, and understanding what’s normal can change everything.
In this episode of Pop That Mumma, I sit down with lactation consultant Lucy Weber to discuss the real challenges of breastfeeding that nobody warned us about.
We unpack the emotional and hormonal rollercoaster that comes with your breastfeeding journey, why pain during breastfeeding is never normal (and what to do about it), and the importance of skin-to-skin contact in those crucial early days. Lucy shares her expert insights on common breastfeeding issues like mastitis, tongue tie, and latching difficulties, plus practical solutions that actually work. We also cover colostrum harvesting, hand expressing techniques every mum should know, and why personalised postpartum support makes all the difference.
This episode is packed with evidence-based advice and honest conversation about what breastfeeding really looks like. If you've ever struggled with feeding routines, felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or simply want to feel more prepared for your breastfeeding experience, this episode is for you.

Childbirth in a Modern World: Tapping Into Your Wild Side And Training For Instinctive Birth

What if birth isn’t something to fear… but something your body already knows how to do?
In this episode of Pop That Mumma, I’m chatting with Krisha Crossley about tapping into your wild side and what it means to prepare for a physiological, natural birth in the modern world.
We talk honestly about how pregnancy today can leave so many women feeling anxious, disconnected, and scared of their own bodies, and why that makes instinctive birth feel so out of reach.
We cover movement, breathing, mindset, why dilation isn’t the full story, and how approaching labour with an almost athletic mindset can completely change the experience.
