    My Birth Story: How Gia Came Into the World, Unmedicated & Fast | Next Self
    27 Oct 2026
    On the 9th of October 2026, our little girl Gia came into the world. It was a hard and fast labour, the most intense day of our lives, but also the best day of our lives. I feel so incredibly grateful for how it all played out. I recorded this episode just three days postpartum, sitting in my pyjamas with no makeup on, because I wanted to capture every little detail while it was still fresh in my mind. I'd heard how quickly you can forget the details of birth, and I'm so happy I took the time to record it. So today, I'm sharing the full rundown of my unmedicated birth story with you as we wrap up our Next Self series on Selfdom. From the first signs of labour to the moment we met our little girl, this is a day I will never forget. Thank you for following along on this journey into motherhood. If you have any questions about my birth experience, leave them in the comments below and I'll do my best to get back to you.

    Next Self: What Pregnancy ACTUALLY Does to Your Brain: Neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay Explains
    20 Oct 2026
    What actually happens to a woman’s brain when she becomes pregnant, and why are we still calling it “baby brain”? In this episode of Selfdom, I’m joined by neuroscientist and author Dr Sarah McKay to unpack the incredible neuroscience of pregnancy, matrescence and motherhood. We explore how the brain physically changes during pregnancy, the role hormones play in rewiring the maternal brain, why emotions and protective instincts can become heightened, and whether “maternal instinct” is something we’re born with or something our brains develop. We also dive into why your priorities and identity can begin to shift, how long these neurological changes last, and the empowering truth about what the maternal brain may actually be becoming better at. This conversation completely changed the way I think about pregnancy. Rather than seeing these changes as something we lose to motherhood, the science shows just how extraordinary and adaptive the female brain really is. Whether you’re pregnant, already a mother or simply curious about the female brain, this is an episode every woman should hear. Sponsors: ExploreForaged For You (http://foragedforyou.com/) .
