Empowering parents by breaking down the top research of the week in fertility, pregnancy, and parenting!

Join me in discussing an anxiety disorder close to my own heart - the fear of vomiting.

Most of us would say we don't like vomiting. But do you have a fear so great that you avoid certain situations that increase the risk of you getting sick or being sick??

That's what my guest today works through every day of her life.

This is an absolutely fascinating discussion which can be applied to almost any mental health journey in parenthood.

You will experience laughter and tears in this warm but realistic discussion of psychological wellbeing.

Breast is best...fed is best? As is often the case in the area of pregnancy and newborn the focus is on baby.

But what about mum?? What is best for mum?

That is the focus of this podcast. I'll briefly go over the research surrounding breastfeeding, but more than anything moot the idea of how we can better support mums in what is right for them and their family.

In this episode I talk with Emma, founder of Baby Sleep Consultant, and mother of three.

We have an enlightening discussion about what society seems to deem success as a new mum, and how that impacted our choices in birth and beyond.

Emma also shares some heartbreaking and toe curling stories of life as a new mum.
