Defying Norms: Christie Murray's Evolution Through Birth, Resilience, and Empowering Decisions

In episode 43 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast, Chloe and Keshia welcome Christie Murray to share her birth story that is both empowering and emotionally raw. Christie recounts her initial birthing experience, characterised by a sense of disembodiment, a loss of control, and unnecessary medical interventions that resulted in lasting trauma. The story unfolds as Christie reflects on how this pivotal moment steered her towards a journey of self-discovery, culminating in a resolute decision to embrace an unassisted pregnancy and birth—a decision that proved to be profoundly empowering for her and her family.
Christie also provides insight into her background as a physiotherapist, drawing on her experiences working with postpartum women in a hospital setting. She reveals how this professional context initially shaped her perspective, leading her to consider birth violence as a norm and intervention as a lifesaving necessity. This poignant and transformative narrative is a testament to the strength of Christie's resilience, and we are privileged to share this compelling story with our audience.
After this incredible experience Christie wrote a children's book sharing visuals of home birth to help prepare and educate younger children on what physiological birth, at home can look like.
