The Gossip

Samantha O'Donovan and Mia Briski

The Gossip is a candid, heart-led podcast created by Mia, a birth coach, and Sam, an occupational therapist, where real conversations meet embodied wisdom. We share honest stories and thoughtful dialogue about fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood, and the wider experience of being a woman. Rather than treating these seasons as problems to solve, we explore them as lived, relational experiences shaped by nervous systems, stories, seasons, and support. Drawing on our combined lenses of birth work and OT, we unpack what often goes unspoken—creating space for nuance, connection, and grounded understanding. This is the kind of “gossip” worth sharing: the conversations we wish more women had access to.
