About This Podcast
The Breech Birth Podcast is dedicated to giving voice to the powerful, personal, and often overlooked stories of breech birth. Please help support getting the Breech Birth Podcast stories out to women and their families across the world by making a small donation through Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/breechbirthpodcast
Each episode features candid interviews with women who have experienced breech birth firsthand, whether at home, in the hospital, planned or unexpected. While many stories are empowering and transformative, some also speak to the grief, challenges, or trauma that can accompany breech presentation. Through honest storytelling, this podcast challenges the fear-based narrative surrounding breech birth and explores what it means to reclaim autonomy, intuition, and trust in the birthing process. If you’re an expectant parent, health care provider, birth worker or simply curious about the diverse experiences of birth, this is a space for connection, courage, and transformation. Join your host, Sasha Hopkins as we journey with each woman and learn more about the diverse range of experiences.
