Today we are chatting to mum of 3 young girls, a physiotherapist for women and Physio Katherine Baquie all about investing back into your body as a woman.

Kath has an online community, FitNest Mama. she helps to provide pregnant and new mothers with the exercises, support & resources they need to move from the overwhelm, the physical aches & pains of pregnancy, or the weakness felt before and after birth. And instead, she helps to replace that with the comfort & confidence they need to feel strong again inside out, so that they can get back to doing what they love, with a bubba by their side (whether or not that’s running around with the kids at the park, or running the next marathon).

In todays episode we cover:

Free Checklist: Preparing the pelvic floor for birth

B joined us some time ago and it was one of our favourite episodes yet. Today she is back and we have a raw and real conversation around mum rage, how to acknowledge this and try and express healthy forms of anger. As well as how a relationship can change after having kids. No one prepares you for this dynamic shift in a relationship. It can be easy to fall into the comparison trap, resentment trap and so many others. Here we talk about how it is all valid and ways to support yourself, partnership and family dynamics.
