Mama Up

An interview with the wonderful Anna Cusack: Author, Podcaster, Blogger and Motherhood Revolutionist. We chat Anna's personal motherhood experience, her journey to conceiving and her wealth of knowledge in caring for mothers and assisting them in planning an empowering postnatal period. Anna and I explore the way in which rethinking how we view mothers and providing them with rich support structures can positively impact our whole society.

2020 was rough. It hit many of us like a truck actually. And while the year itself is well over and we are trying to move on- there's still hurting and healing taking place. In this episode, I share my 2020, including my baby's birth and my family's big move and what all of it means for me now. I also discuss how we are all coping since getting hit by that aforementioned truck and what we might need to do to get back on track.

In this special International Women's Day episode of Mama Up, I question the concept of 'having it all' as a woman today. Can we actually have the work, the play, the family, the security in our lives all at once? What is the impact for seeking this out? Do we NEED to WANT to have it all? I discuss my own personal anger, pain and struggle with this topic and wonder what needs to be challenged in our society to better revere and support mothers as we evolve as a society. 

Yes that's right- this week I'm talking about birth! I crack open some of the factors that influence our attitudes to labour, birth and pain and discuss a broad range of options that might be well worth a look if you are trying to avoid or stem the influence of medication in your birth space. Breaking birth down into some of its physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects I might just get you thinking about what giving birth uniquely means to you and what you did or would most want it to look like.

A new kind of episode for me in which I get quite personal. This is the ep where I talk extensively about the decision making involved in having my 3 babies. I also break down the impact having 3 has made on my relationship with my partner and answer the FAQ- will there ever be a fourth?

How can I make my baby sleep through the night? How can I MAKE them do anything?

Welcome to MamaUp, a brand new podcast with Annie Tayleur about the trials, tribulations and triumphs of modern motherhood.

In today's episode- the topic is baby sleep and childhood learning and development and the unrealistic expectations set upon sleep deprived parents about all of the above.
