• MKB chat about tunes, love of the rave and redefining birth with Raw Silk DJ and The Bold Birth Coach founder, Steph Smith.

  Tallulah and Sophie are back! This week we are joined by the legendary Steph Smith, one half of the Raw Silk DJ duo, mum and founder of new biz 'The Bold Birth Coach'. Steph is wicked. She's honest, passionate and a real advocate for redefining a mother's birthing experience. In this episode, we discuss the shifting balance of priorities when becoming a mother, navigating the reality of working, parenting and carving out space for passions. Steph spoke candidly about her own birthing experience and what led her to founding 'The Bold Birth Coach'. During her pregnancy, Steph dedicated a lot of time and energy into preparing herself for birth, both through a hypnobirthing course and her own research. It was this preparation and awareness that she believed helped her make informed decisions when it came to her own birth, despite her delivery being different from what she had planned. Steph is a big advocate for women's health, informed decision-making and support and she, like many of us, found that there seemed to be something missing for a lot of women when it came to antenatal education. Steph trained with 'The Riot Birth Network' and upon founding 'The Bold Birth Coach', she aims to provide evidence-based support for women in their pregnancy and birth journey.We LOVED speaking with Steph and we hope you enjoy this episode!Much love, MKB (Tallulah and Sophie)xxxAs always feel free to reach out to us, we'd love to know what you want to hear about on the podcast and our DMs are always open!IG: @mumknowsbestpodcastTikTok: @mumknowsbestpodcastor message us at [email protected]
