Do We Need Help?

Hello & welcome to another week on the podcast!

This week we dive into social media & the impact it is having on modern day motherhood. We share our opinions & swap experiences as one being online & the other offline.

We discuss -

- what role is social media playing in motherhood?

- does it impact our intuition as mums?

- what are the positives & negatives?

- how did our parents raise us without all the information?

- would we be different parents if we didn't have social media?

As always - we would love to hear your thoughts on the topic, so be sure to head to our Instagram to join in the conversation!

Hello, we are back for a yap again this week on the podcast.

We chat about quite the variety of topics & emotions today, from being pulled over by the police to struggles in this current season of life. Ah, motherhood hey!?

Liv has had a tough couple of weeks & chats about how she is finding this current season of life going from 1-2 kids (spoiler: hard). Carla got pulled over by the police & is right in the thick of toilet training.

We are your friends in your ears & if you're feeling any of this too, we are right there with you.

If you want to chat to someone about how you're feeling - Gidget Foundation are a great resource.

We'd love to hear from you!

Hello & welcome back to another week on the pod!

This week we sat down with Ashleigh, perinatal & couples therapist, to chat all about the mental load. We cover -

- what is "the mental load"?

- why is it more prominent after kids?

- how can couples navigate sharing the load?

- is it possible for it to be even, especially during maternity leave?

- how can couples manage it successfully?

A big thank you to Ashleigh for joining us & sharing her tips, expertise & knowledge on the topic.

Hi, we are back for another week on the podcast & as you'll no doubt hear - ya gals are tired! We rallied for a nighttime recording this week so lets call it our "nighttime voices" lol.

You can expect a little chit chat, some breastfeeding woes, a little Q&A from our listeners & then we asked each other 5 questions each to see how well we know each other. Just a little yap & laugh, as always.

Welcome back to another week on the pod - we are so glad you're here!

This week we talk all things intimacy after kids, particularly those early postpartum weeks. We discuss:

- libidos (or lack thereof)

- ways other than sex we share intimacy with our partners

- pressures to get "back into it"

- discomfort & the first times having sex PP

- discuss answers given to our instagram Q's & polls from our community

We loved having this chat - even though it was a bit chaotic with the two babies!

Hello, we are back after our little podcast pause - thanks for tuning back in!

This week we have a bit of a catch up (as usual) & then get into a chat about our visits to see a women's health Physio this postpartum. Carla shares her current situation in dealing with a prolapse, what she is doing to help it & how she is finding it. We are never anything less than amazed at what our bodies continue to go through.

Oh & a funny marketplace story to cap it off - because we all have them & who doesn't love to hear them!

Hello, we are back & we are ragey! But in a funny way (unless you live with us - sorry dads)!

This episode is just for fun as we list of some of the things that has got the postpartum rage juices flowing - maybe you can relate to some?

NOTE: We will be taking a 2-week break from the podcast & will be back in your ears on June 10th.

We'd love to hear from you!

Hello - another week, another episode!

This week, Liv chats about how she found the first 4 weeks with her newborn. Spoiler - it wasn't as cruise as she thought it would be (no one is surprised but her!).

This is an honest chat about expectations & how sometimes you just have to give in to the changes & move with it.

We hope you enjoy & maybe find some comfort within it if you're going through the same.

We'd love to hear from you!

Welcome back to another week of yapping away - this week all about how we are finding our post-birth recovery, second time around.

In this episode, we discuss how we found caesarean recovery vs VBAC recovery, healing & accepting the new 'renovations' that have taken place & how we are finding the recovery mentally. As always, it is a slightly unhinged chat & we hope you have some laughs along with us.
