El gives us insight into her first few days as a solo mother, and further discusses the rollercoaster of emotions involved with motherhood so far.

Bed Rest, the Baby Shower, and the GC's Biggest Show: Reflections from the Hospital Bed

Georgie Copeland is one of Ellidy's Widow Wives. She lost her life partner, Lachie Proctor, a few months after Chumpy, back in 2020. This is a story so big we had to tell it across two weeks.
In this first episode, Georgia shares the heartbreaking story of the lead up to losing Lachie. Stick around next week to hear the aftermath of this crushing loss and how Georgia went on to find love again... only to have it stripped from her in the Hunter Valley Bus Crash.

Love and Loss and Losing Lachie with Georgia Copeland (Part One)

If you have anyone under 5 in your life, you might know Caterina Mete as the Red Wiggle. Why on earth would Chloe and Ellidy be interviewing a Wiggle?
Well, one of the topics that comes up regularly in our facebook group, is having a child on your own. What to do when you're yet to meet a suitable partner but you know without a doubt you want kids?
This topic has been on our ideas list for a long time, and when we heard that Caterina was pregnant with twins at 43, after deciding to go it solo via IVF and a sperm donor, we knew this was a conversation we wanted to have.

The Choice to Go Parenting Solo with The Red Wiggle; Caterina Mete

When it comes to fertility, the focus on finding the issue often falls on the woman. However, the stats show us that male fertility is equally as likely to be the root of the issue. It's time to change this focus on women and balance out this conversation. In this episode, Chloe talks to Dr Shahin Ghadir, a top LA fertility specialist, to talk all things male fertility and sperm health.
