Knocked Up: All About Fertility and Women's Health

Sex takes on a completely different role when the focus becomes conception rather than pleasure. In this episode we discuss how sex can change in a relationship and how to keep the connection with your partner.
Chantelle Otten is an internationally acclaimed Psycho-Sexologist based in Melbourne. With her background in scientific research, sexual medicine, and counselling, Chantelle believes that sexuality and self-esteem are an integral part of life, which everyone is entitled to and that Good sexual health should always be enjoyable, pain free and without prejudice.
When speaking to Chantelle it quickly became obvious that we would need more than one episode together to cover Raelia and Chantelle’s approaches to sex and answer your many questions.
Through our series The Sex Tapes we will be discussing a range of topics including the female orgasm, sexual concerns, sex for conception and sexual self-esteem through life stages.

Sara Smith is a Melbourne based Architect who has practiced both at home in Melbourne and in London.
It might feel a bit off piste for us to chat to an architect, but our conversation with Sara covers all sorts of topics that we're thinking about whether we realise it or not.
With her thesis on maternity wards and experience in healthcare we discuss how architecture impacts the patient experience when seeking medical care and how it can be improved.

Our guest today is Shterna Glick. Shterna is a Melbourne-based Lactation Consultant and registered Midwife working both privately and in the hospital setting.

Shterna provides a home-visiting lactation consultation service and antenatal breastfeeding information classes, helping women navigate challenges with an evidence-based, practical and empathetic approach.
