Against The Grain

About Against The Grain

🔥 Welcome to Against the Grain — the podcast where I call out the systems built to keep us small, silent, and sick. Here we go deep into birth, body autonomy, motherhood, natural healing + the raw, messy truth the mainstream won’t touch. This is not polite conversation — it’s rebellion. It’s bold, honest, soul-led truth-telling to wake you up, piss you off, and remind you of the power you were born with. ✨ If you’re ready to live fully against the grain — you’re in the right place.

   Childhood J@bs: Cash, Lies & Damaged Children.

   Full reference list for this episode: https://tinyurl.com/jf6pudb2 In this episode, I sit down with Dean Garnett to talk about childhood j@bs — and let’s just say, things get real. We dig into why j@bs have always stirred debate, why skepticism isn’t new, and how government and pharmaceutical companies make a lot of money from all this. We share stories from parents, examine the ingredients, and poke at the science — which, spoiler alert, isn’t always as clean as it’s sold. We also touch on the autism debate, the messiness of peer-reviewed research, and why informed consent is more than just signing a form. This isn’t about fear-mongering — it’s about asking questions, knowing what’s going in your child’s body, and owning your healthcare decisions. How government and pharmaceutical companies make a lot of money from all this What’s really in the ingredients The science behind jabs — messy, conflicting, and sometimes unclear The autism debate and why it’s still contentious Flaws and biases in peer-reviewed research Why informed consent is more than just signing a form How to take control of your child’s healthcare decision Tune in if you want to challenge the narrative, think for yourself, and navigate the rabbit hole of lies & corruption.

She shares amazing firsthand experience and advice that can help women feel confident, prepared, and supported to have the birth they truly want. Key Takeaways: Mollie’s first hospital birth left her feeling powerless and traumatised. After that experience, she always dreamed of a home birth for her second child—and it was everything she hoped for. Empowerment and making informed choices are crucial for a positive birth experience. Her home birth allowed freedom to move, eat, and labour naturally. A supportive midwife made a huge difference in her birth and recovery. Creating a birth plan and trusting your instincts is key.

   DIRTY VAPE TRUTHS - What They’re Really Doing to Your Insides...

   If you LOVE my work & got value from this episode feel free to buymeacoffee.com/theliverpooldoula Thank you for helping me keep this real, raw, and free. In this episode, I’m spilling the facts about vaping—whether you’re pregnant or not. Think e-cigarettes are a “safer” option? Let’s break down what’s actually going into your lungs, how nicotine and heavy metals affect your body (and a baby if you’re expecting), and some natural strategies to help you reduce nicotine use for better health overall. Takeaways: The NHS sometimes recommends vapes as a harm reduction strategy, but there’s more to the story. Vaping delivers aerosols and heavy metals straight into your lungs—bypassing your natural filters. One disposable vape = 26 cigarettes; refillable vapes = 133 cigarettes. If pregnant, nicotine crosses the placenta and accumulates in fetal brain tissue. Heavy metals from vape coils can impact neuron growth and overall health. Addiction is a behavioural pattern, not a disease—quitting benefits both you and, if pregnant, your baby. Natural alternatives and mindfulness can help break the nicotine cycle.

   THE TOXIC VET INDUSTRY - Built on sick pets & broken hearts...

   If you LOVE my work & got value from this episode feel free to buymeacoffee.com/theliverpooldoula Thank you for helping me keep this real, raw, and free. In this episode, I call out the veterinary industry for what it really is: a profit-driven machine that often puts your pet’s health last. I share my own stories with my dogs—howtraditional vets, meds, and kibble can actually make things worse—and why trusting the system blindly is a huge mistake. I’m here to make you wake up, question everything, and take real control of your pet’s health. Natural holistic care isn’t woo-woo—it’s smart, effective, and your pet deserves it. Takeaways: Most vets are more about money than your pet—over-medication and unnecessary treatments are the norm. That“healthy” kibble and prescription meds? They can wreck your pet’s long-term health. Holistic approaches—real food, natural remedies—can fix problems the vets can’t or won’t. Stop blindly following the system—question your vet, challenge advice, demand better. 📚 Recommended Resources for Dog Health & Longevity 🐾 The Forever Dog by Dr. Karen Becker & Rodney Habib — A groundbreaking guide to helping your dog live a longer, healthier life.👉 Paperback on Amazon (https://amzn.to/4gsRsNR) 🐾 The Forever Dog Life by Dr. Karen Becker & Rodney Habib — A beautifully illustrated hardback packed with practical tips and lifestyle strategies for vibrant canine health.👉 Hardback on Amazon (https://amzn.to/41SXmC3) 🛒 Pet Essentials I Recommend — A handpicked list of natural, safe, and genuinely useful products for your pets, all in one place.👉 Shop my Amazon Pet Essentials List (https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/theliverpooldoula_/list/21UR72LHBE9YN?ref_=aipsflist)

   THE BUSINESS OF BIRTH - The Dirty Money Behind ‘Safe’ Births

   If you LOVE my work & got value from this episode feel free to buymeacoffee.com/theliverpooldoula Thank you for helping me keep this real, raw, and free. In this episode of Against the Grain, I pull no punches and expose the dirty little money games behind birth. The NHS and maternity care? Let’s just say profit often comes before people. I spill the tea on the cascade of interventions that turn a simple hospital check-in into a full-blown C-section, and how the Group B Streptococcus antibiotic racket messes with your microbiome. We get realabout the long-term trauma women carry silently after birth, and why doulas are the real MVPs in helping women reclaim their experiences. I’m here to show you how to question everything, fight back, and take your power back in the birthing room—because birth isn’t a transaction, it’s your life. Takeaways: The NHS runs on payment-by-results “High-risk” labels? Often just a ticket to unnecessary procedures. A cascade of interventions Group B Streptococcus antibiotics & wrecking your microbiome Many women live with birth trauma for years without even realising it. Doulas change the game—reducing interventions and protecting your birth experience. The system literally profits off women’s trauma and ongoing health issues. Natural healing methods to empower you and cut your dependence on pharma. The placenta? Treated as trash, when it could boost your recovery. Knowledge is power: education and informed choices beat consumerism every time.

   MIDWIVES VS. DOULAS: Understanding the Differences

   In this episode of AgainstThe Grain, I get real about the differences between midwives and doulas—and why it matters for your birth. I clear up the myths around doulas, showing how we provide emotional, physical, and informational backup while you navigate pregnancy and birth. I also spill on the struggles midwives face in the healthcare system and why informed consent is non-negotiable. Plus, I drop my tips for picking the right birth team and what red flags to watch for—because you deserve people in your corner who actually have your back. Takeaways: I provide emotional, physical, and informational support—your advocate from bump to baby. Midwives are clinical care providers, stuck following strict policies. I work for you, not the healthcare system. Policies often mean midwives can’t give truly individualised care. Informed consent is a must—and I push for it. Picking the right doula? Make sure we click and share the same birth values. Red flags in doulas? Red flags in midwives?

We chat delayed cord clamping, bust myths, and I empower you to make your own choices about your placenta and postpartum journey. I also break down practical tips for placenta encapsulation and how it can boost your mood, bonding, and overall recovery. Takeaways: The placenta is a vital organ— not just biological waste.

    MIDWIVES HATE ME (And That’s the Point)

    In this episode, I share my insights and experiences as a Liverpool-based pregnancy and birth doula. I break down what I actually do, why education about birth is non-negotiable, andhow I support women through pregnancy and labour. I also get real about my approach—pushing for informed choices and standing up for women’s rights in the medical system. Plus, I chat about postpartum support, why building a solidrelationship with my clients matters, and the natural goodies I offer to make birth feel a little more magical. Takeaways: I provide non-medical support during pregnancy and birth. Education is everything—you deserve to knowwhat’s really going on. I advocate for your choices in the medical system. You can book me at any stage of pregnancy. Our relationship is built on trust and support—I’ve got your back. Postpartum support isn’t optional; it’s part of the package. Natural products can make your birthexperience even better. I focus on creating a calm, peaceful birth environment. Magnesium is a game-changer during pregnancy. I often keep long-term relationships with my clients—birth isn’t a one-off.

    START HERE - Who I am, what I do & why?

    In the first episode of AgainstThe Grain, I share who I am, why I do what I do, and why it matters.
