Kristina Matej is the founder of KMM ST Consultancy Services and the reason she started this business is because she feels passionate about improving women’s experience not just in the workplace but in the world. Today, she shares her story to help you to better understand her drive and the journey that brought her here.

In this episode, Hetal shares her story and the reasons behind her unrelenting passion for justice, especially when it comes to gender based inequality and discrimination. If you are impressed with Hetal as much as I am and would like to explore becoming her therapy client.

Resting is so simple yet so hard to implement into our daily lives. It is also crucial to our health. In this episode, we discuss the different types of rest and what are some effective ways to make rest part of our routine.

In this episode, we touch on the various challenges women encounter when coming back to work from maternity leave. We are just scratching the surface here, but hopefully it'll give you an idea of the different angles women need to consider when getting back to work and trying to strike that work/life balance while often battling with feelings of anxiety and guilt.

We are sure there will be plenty more of these episodes as there is so much to rant about when it comes to inequality between men and women in the world. Hetal had an interesting experience recently and we decided to have a chat about it on air, because even we have not thought this would be an issue at this day and age in the UK. We can’t change the world in a day, but we can change it one day at the time, one step at the time, one life at the time, one mind at the time.

In this episode we cover the postpartum period. A lot happens in the first few month for baby, birth mum and the family and it can be challenging and overwhelming. Hence, we talk about what is biologically normal, what can happen if things don’t go well and how to prepare yourself, take care of yourself and each other.

We follow on from last week by talking about planning for birth and learning what support is available to us. We talk about birthing partners and doulas as well as touching on the role of evolution and science in childbirth.

There is so much to say about childbirth that we have split it in two episodes and it is still just scratching the surface. This episode is about the technical and medical aspects of birth, while the next episode is more about the support and preparation.

We are using a lot of the medical terms and explain what they mean, so you have some understanding of them should you hear those during your delivery. We also talk about different types of delivery, pain management option and possible complication, to hopefully enable you to make empowered choices for yourself and your baby.

If there is one take away from this episode, it is this: ask your health professionals all the questions you might have and insist on answers, if you don't understand, ask them to explain it better, understand the pros and cons of the different options before you and surround yourself with supportive people.

This episode is a heavy one. It is so hard to speak about such a heartbreaking subject while trying to get all the facts across. I really hope we did it justice and you’ll find guidance here should you ever find yourself going through or supporting someone who is going through a miscarriage. 💜

In this episode we talk about the ups and downs, miracles and challenges of that revered and feared stage of most women's life - pregnancy! We are covering the basics, so we all have some understanding of the impact of pregnancy on the people's bodies and minds and ready you for the detailed discussions with our guests in the future.
