About the speaker: Sophie Walker
Creator & Host, Australian Birth Stories
After experiencing two wildly different birthing experiences, and with a Master of Public Health under her belt, Sophie saw a glaring gap in the market to discuss the good, the bad and the downright uncertainty of the birthing process.
Since the podcast launched in 2017, it’s had over 10 million total downloads and has shared over 350 women’s birthing stories including Turia Pitt, Zoe Foster-Blake, Ash London, Steph Claire Smith and Emma Isaacs. 146,000 mothers, mothers-to-be and midwives now form Sophie’s online community.
Sophie has spent the past five years parlaying the success of the podcast into a brand empire that’s based on a single core principle: the power of storytelling to improve the health outcomes of mums and their bubs. Down to her bones, Sophie believes that sharing stories is the most powerful tool in birthing education.
The ABS podcast is endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and certified professional development for student midwives and has generated over $1m in associated podcast revenue.
