The birth stories you need to hear
Every week, we share real birth stories — the kind that make you laugh, cry, think, and sometimes just sit in awe. Some are planned home births. Some take unexpected turns. Some are about deep healing, loss, or reclaiming power after trauma. We also talk with birth workers, doctors, midwives, and experts who bring wisdom and perspective. Whatever your journey looks like, there’s space for you here — and so much to gain from hearing how others have walked theirs.

This podcast is brilliant! A wonderful resource for parents considering birth outside of the hospital or anyone who just wants to know more about home birth. After listening to other birth related podcasts, I found DIAH and was instantly hooked. I’ve listened to every episode more than once. This podcast and all the stories shared on this platform gave me the confidence to give birth where I felt most comfortable, AT HOME. Sarah and Matthew are open, honest, funny, and easy to listen to. Check out their other podcasts as well, if you haven’t already. They are fantastic at what they do! Keep educating and inspiring others! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your amazing podcast! I am sitting here right now with my baby girl who is 1 week old looking at my bed and thinking I cannot believe I birthed her right there! And I don’t think I would have if it wasn’t for your podcast.

This is the podcast I never knew I needed! I am 28 weeks pregnant with my first baby and my husband and I have known we wanted to plan a home birth before we even conceived. The topics you cover are always helpful, interesting and real. We appreciate your honest and raw emotions. We look forward to every new episode and love to creep on you on Instagram. You have helped us have some great conversations about our own pregnancy and upcoming birth. Thank you for all you do! Big love!
