Do We Need Help?

Hi hi!

This week on the podcast, we have a jam packed episode on all things toddler behaviour. It is the longest episode we have recorded to date but to be honest - it could easily have been double the time with the wealth of knowledge that is Kerry from Inspiring Start.

We covered-

- Understanding the development of our toddlers & how that impacts their behaviour

- Reasons why they may be exhibiting difficult behaviours

- Tantrums - what are they & ways to help manage them

- Fostering independence

- Understanding toddler (& human) behaviour that causes big feelings

- Topics like hitting, sleep strategies & ways to help

- When to seek further help from a professional

A huge thank you to Kerry for taking the time to& sharing her passion, expertise & guidance. You can find her here -

Hello!

This week we have a special guest (who was very willing to& needed absolutely no convincing...) - Simon! Liv's partner & baby daddy.

Carla puts on her solo interviewer hat & sat down with Liv + Simon to chat all things becoming parents, feelings around welcoming a second & the ways in which parenting has changed them. Simon got in trouble for not sitting close enough to the mic, so you may need to turn the volume up a little ;)

Hi, we're so glad you're here!

This week on the pod we recorded via Zoom because Liv is being constantly plagued by sickness in her third trimester (v rude of the universe) & we catch up on all that's been happening. Apologies for the nasally tone Liv's voice has taken on in this episode!

A large portion of the chat is around people pushing their thoughts on gender expectations & disappointment onto us, plus whether this is more common if you've had a boy vs girl previously. We would love to hear your thoughts on this - so be sure to head to our instagram (linked below) to weigh in!

Welcome back!

This week we have a very special episode - we sat down with the beautiful Gioenne, a mum of 3, who very kindly shared the story of her eldest child's diagnosis & journey with Type 1 Diabetes.

This story is sure to tug on everyone's heart strings as Gioenne recounts Leo's story from diagnosis, early days of managing T1D, all the way to where they are today. We certainly shed a few tears, so be sure to have tissues at the ready.

A big thank you for Gioenne for being so vulnerable, raw & telling her family's story.

You can support Gioenne as she participates in the Breakthrough T1D One Walk on March 15th by donating to this important cause - click here.
