**CONTENT WARNING and TRIGGER WARNING** This episode contains swearing and TW/sexual abuse.

Welcome to the Motherkind podcast. The show that is going to help you navigate the massive challenges of motherhood and life with more acceptance, joy, ease and purpose.

This week’s guest is Natalie Lee. You might know her as Style Me Sunday.

Natalie started her career as a midwife before starting her blog in July 2012. In the past decade, she has grown her platform from a blog to a brand and now reaches women across a variety of platforms and in so many different ways.

Her book Feeling myself: how I shed my shame to find sexual freedom is out in June.

I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy, and it is incredible. I think this book is going to help so many women.

You are going to learn about:

What is sexual shame and how it manifests

Why using the correct terms for sex anatomy is vital

How Natalie healed her sexual trauma and what that has meant for her girls

What her dream is for the next generation

This is really an emotional conversation and also an incredibly important one.

As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.
