In this episode, Chloe is joined by Jess, who shares the story of her first birth with baby Dilly. A powerful, fast labour that unfolded very differently from what she had imagined… yet was still a positive experience.

Jess talks openly about how she prepared, the mindset work that grounded her during pregnancy, and how self-trust helped her navigate a birth that moved quickly and far outside the lines of her original plan.

She also reflects on the tools and understanding that made the biggest difference and why positive birth isn’t about everything going “to plan,” but about feeling involved, informed, and connected to yourself and your body as things unfold.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Jess prepared for her first birth

• The mindset shifts that shaped her confidence

• What helped her stay centred during an unexpectedly fast labour

• Why her birth felt positive, even when it didn’t look like the plan

• The role self-trust and simple tools played in her experience
