🎙 In today’s episode, we’re focusing on giving BIRTH and all the emotional, psychological, and mental health experiences that can come with it.

Joining Jas is guest host Kezia Matheison, a psychotherapist who specialises in perinatal mental health. Together, they explore birth not just as a physical event, but as a deeply emotional experience that can bring up fear, vulnerability, power, loss, relief, trauma, and everything in between.

Hear them talk about expectations versus reality, how birth experiences can impact mental health, identity, and relationships, and why birth stories deserve space, especially in therapy. Whether your experience of birth was positive, complicated, traumatic, or still something you’re processing, this episode is for you.
