About Against The Grain
đĽ Welcome to Against the Grain â 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 wonât touch. This is not polite conversation â itâs rebellion. Itâs bold, honest, soul-led truth-telling to wake you up, piss you off, and remind you of the power you were born with. ⨠If youâre ready to live fully against the grain â youâre 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 â and letâs just say, things get real. We dig into why j@bs have always stirred debate, why skepticism isnât 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 â which, spoiler alert, isnât always as clean as itâs 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 isnât about fear-mongering â itâs about asking questions, knowing whatâs going in your childâs body, and owning your healthcare decisions. How government and pharmaceutical companies make a lot of money from all this Whatâs really in the ingredients The science behind jabs â messy, conflicting, and sometimes unclear The autism debate and why itâs 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 childâs 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: Mollieâs first hospital birth left her feeling powerless and traumatised.

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 Theyâre 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, Iâm spilling the facts about vapingâwhether youâre pregnant or not. Think e-cigarettes are a âsaferâ option? Letâs break down whatâs actually going into your lungs, how nicotine and heavy metals affect your body (and a baby if youâre 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 thereâs more to the story. Vaping delivers aerosols and heavy metals straight into your lungsâbypassing 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 diseaseâquitting benefits both you and, if pregnant, your baby. Natural alternatives and mindfulness can help break the nicotine cycle.

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 petâs health last. I share my own stories with my dogsâhowtraditional vets, meds, and kibble can actually make things worseâand why trusting the system blindly is a huge mistake. Iâm here to make you wake up, question everything, and take real control of your petâs health. Natural holistic care isnât woo-wooâitâs smart, effective, and your pet deserves it. Takeaways: Most vets are more about money than your petâover-medication and unnecessary treatments are the norm. Thatâhealthyâ kibble and prescription meds? They can wreck your petâs long-term health. Holistic approachesâreal food, natural remediesâcan fix problems the vets canât or wonât.

THE BUSINESS OF BIRTH - The Dirty Money Behind âSafeâ 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? Letâs 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. Iâm here to show you how to question everything, fight back, and take your power back in the birthing roomâbecause birth isnât a transaction, itâs your life. Takeaways: The NHS runs on payment-by-results âHigh-riskâ 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 gameâreducing interventions and protecting your birth experience. The system literally profits off womenâs 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 doulasâand 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 forâbecause you deserve people in your corner who actually have your back. Takeaways: I provide emotional, physical, and informational supportâyour 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 canât give truly individualised care. Informed consent is a mustâand 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?

MIDWIVES HATE ME (And Thatâs 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 approachâpushing for informed choices and standing up for womenâs 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 everythingâyou deserve to knowwhatâs 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 supportâIâve got your back. Postpartum support isnât optional; itâs 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.
