Description
Our mission is to share diverse birth stories from across Switzerland in a way that empowers the storyteller.
We aim to create a supportive space where each person is in control of their own narrative. By recording and sharing birth stories in Switzerland, we hope to inspire those planning their own birth, offer insights for birth workers, or allow listeners to reflect on their own birth experiences. Tune in to hear real, personal, raw birth stories. This podcast is in seasons; during an active season, episodes will be released weekly.
