37: On being a new mum


Listen Later

It was over 18 years ago since I had my first child, so it was such a joy to chat to Mandy who has recently become a mum for the first time. Her son is 10 months old and she talks so wonderfully about her transition from full time corporate world to that of a mum home on maternity leave.

Mandy embraced motherhood in both what she has gained and has had to give up for a time. We talk about:

  • How motherhood has been compared to her expectations
  • How she stays connected with the adult world
  • Her plans for returning to work
  • What her parenting style is currently like
  • Her tips and tricks for heading out with baby
  • Mentioned in this episode:
    • Moviehole
    • A consensus for care - Frances Flanagan
    • Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay
