EP#42 My daughter has epilepsy

Today we are joined by @k.cooper.r who fell pregnant with her daughter Ella at the age of 16. Kat noticed straight from birth that something was not 100% right with Ella. Long story short Kat tells their journal about discovering that Ella has epilepsy, and how she will forever live with this.

We discuss the constant testing, drs, hospital trips, and pushing for answers! Kat also gives us some insight of a day in the life of parenting a child who suffers with epilepsy.

Kat is so honest + open in this episode! My eyes are opened since listening to this, Kat also gives some tips on what to do if you come across someone having a epilepsy episode!

EP#41 What is NLP + Timeline therapy? With @lauras_aura_

Today we dive into what NLP + Timeline therapy is, Laura explains the benefits and background of it. (keeping in mind everyones individual sessions are tailored for them)

We both dive in a little to both of our experiences! Laura touches on what to expect doing the courses, and how it is quiet confronting.

I personally can’t recommended everyone to book in with Laura enough.

This shit is life changing in my opinion.

If you feel the need for change, sick of your own bs, feeling lost, in a bit of a rut or just a little confused about life, this is for you!

We kept the episode short, and jam packed with info! If you have any questions message the queen her self @lauras_aura_ 🥰

EP#40 Perfection dosent exist with Shan Gray 🤍 Today we are joined once again with Shan. After we both finished our NLP + Time line therapy with @lauras_aura_ it got us talking. Shan has been on a self discovery journey and I feel she’s a breathe of fresh air and everyone may benefit from having a listen to her 😍 We discuss how perfection doesn’t exist, how we are our toughest critic, insecurities, accepting yourself for who you are, Shan’s experience with deleting social media/ having a detox and so much more! Thankyou Shan for coming on and having a chat! Slide across for some recommendations that have helped Shannon over the past 8 months!

Today are joined by @_ashbonner_ (photo credit to the amazing @louiseagnew ), we discuss Matrescence; the transformation and identity shift all women experience as they become mothers 🤍

Ash is full of knowledge and explains how matrescnce plays a massive roll in all women, especially mothers. She also touches on how she wasn’t sure if she ever wanted to be a mother, the pressure of being a mother, not being/feeling maternal, her miscarriage, and just so much more!

Ash is a 1:1 life coach, she holds a safe space for women to discuss life. She is just such a warm soul.

“I want to help women break through all the false beliefs + crap we’ve been feed, and to show women that they are so worthy of being nurtured + taken care of”

This episode is so so interesting, it’s quiet long but i promise it’s eye opening 🤍

Head on over and give Ash a follow on her insta @_ashbonner_ + FB page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrivingpostpartum/

Ash recommended @amytaylorkabbaz podcast episode #165 “Why we struggle receiving help”

Today I sit down with my cousin Eb after 12 months between our last episode she has finished year 12, done some traveling, had a few down moments, struggled with relapsing, but came out of the last year with a brand new mindset.

This episode is a bit of a reality check i think we all need sometimes in our day to day lives. And one i really recommend to listen to if you are feeling a tad lost! Ebs is only 18 but the way she speaks is moving.

I hope you all enjoy this ep and would love to know your feedback!

Today we are joined by Kaitlin Egan. At 20 weeks pregnant Kaitlin + husband Brock’s world got turned up side down within a matter of days. Kaitlin found out at her 20 week scan that she had CMV (Cytomegalovirus). A virus that affects 1-2 babies everyday in Australia yet most have never even heard of it.

She tells the story of losing their angel baby Oscar in hope that it gives others information about the virus and how it can affect your unborn child and ways to prevent it.

We discuss CMV, her symptoms, the emotional rollercoaster which was their reality, losing their baby boy, the trauma + grief that comes with it and so much more. Kaitlin shares how she is coping now, the way she seeked help with some amazing people in the Mount Gambier Community and also discusses life with their new baby boy Alfie.

I can not thankyou enough for coming on, being so vulnerable and spreading awareness for CMW.

If you would like to find out more information about CMV then head to the website www.cmv.org.au

Lucy Lines joins us today on our podcast! Lucy is an Embryologist turned fertility project manager. Today we are going to be discussing what you should be doing to improve your chances of falling pregnant, Fertility treatments, the affect of stress on the body, the mental trauma of loss/miscarriage, what not to say and what to say to friends/family who are struggling, and Lucy also drops lots of little tips along the way, we do also touch on endometriosis

a tad at the end as requested.

This episode is about 2 local mums who had their babies at 24 weeks! They came on and discussed their labours and hospital stays. The women talk about their struggles, feelings of guilt, going to hospital day in and day out for months, fearing for their babies lives, the list goes on. We hope this episode brings some comfort to others or brings awareness to those that like my self never knew the extent of having a baby so early.

On today’s Ep, Lou Agnew joins me on the poddy to have a little chit chat about being preggo (the real shit no one talks about. Trigger warning, we don’t hold back!)

We discuss giving birth (via c- section and naturally), taking your baby home, having visitors over, asking for help.... golly the list just goes on! We could’ve talked for hours about this! We hope this episode is relatable and you get a little giggle, or even an “ahh thankgod i’m not alone” moment. Thankyou Lou for coming on again also, ya superstar!
