This episode wasn’t actually planned. After sharing a simple Reel about Midwifery Group Practice (MGP), I was genuinely shocked by the response. It was shared over 75 times, women were tagging friends, sending messages and asking questions and it made me realise just how many women don’t know that continuity of midwifery care may be available to them. For me, midwifery-led care was something I kne...

What if the greatest fear a woman carries into birth isn’t her own? In this episode, I share a conversation that stopped me in my tracks—a young woman who had never been pregnant, never experienced labour, yet was already terrified of giving birth because of the stories she’d heard from others. This isn’t a conversation about silencing women or pretending birth trauma doesn’t exist. Birth trauma i...

When Your Child Doesn’t Fit in the Box A real conversation about my son and how tough it can be sometimes. Parenting is beautiful. It’s also messy, emotional, exhausting, and incredibly humbling.

In this episode of The Audacious Noor Podcast, I explore something many women quietly carry but rarely talk about: Hyper-independence. The pressure to be the strong one. The reliable one. The woman who handles everything without asking for help. But what happens when strength slowly becomes survival mode? What happens when receiving support feels uncomfortable, rest feels guilty, and needing other...
