Ever felt like leaving the house with your baby requires the same level of planning as a two-week holiday abroad? You're not alone — and you're definitely not doing anything wrong.

 

In this episode, Charlie shares everything she learned (the hard way, across five babies) about actually getting out the front door with a newborn. From the mental load that makes a simple trip to the shops feel impossible, to the practical systems that finally made outings manageable — this is the honest, no-judgement guide every first-time mum needs.

 

Whether you're struggling to leave the house at all, or just want to feel less frazzled when you do, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and ready to try again.

 

What You’ll Learn:

 

* Why leaving the house with a baby is genuinely hard (and why it's not your fault)

* The mindset shift that changed everything for Charlie

* How to have a bag that's always ready to grab and go

* The "feed just before you leave" trick that stops the endless cycle

* How to find your local "reset spots" for when things go sideways

* What to do when it all falls apart in public

* Why getting out — even imperfectly — matters more than you think
