Looking back on our conversation with Milli Hill from August 2021, I’m reminded of just how vital and courageous her voice has been in the conversation around childbirth and women’s health. As the founder of the Positive Birth Movement, Milli has spent over a decade empowering women to assert themselves in the birthing process and beyond.
When we spoke, she shared her experience of being criticized—and even silenced—for stating something that should be self-evident: that the word woman holds deep significance in relation to childbirth. Instead of backing down, Milli stood firm, asserting her boundaries and speaking her truth.
Reflecting on this episode today, it remains a powerful testament to the importance of language, the resilience of women who refuse to be erased, and the ongoing fight to ensure that women’s voices are heard—especially when it comes to their own bodies.
