In this solo reflections episode, I have a real talk with myself, no filters, no pretending everything’s fine. I ask a huge question: is it all worth it if I fail?

I share honestly about what’s been happening behind the scenes, my mental health, running Bubba Cloud and The Modern Mother, and the weight that comes with trying to hold it all together.

This episode isn’t about answers. It’s about truth, empathy, and reminding ourselves that failure doesn’t define us, it reveals what we actually care about.

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your own journey, or like no one really understands your vision, I hope this feels like sitting down with someone who gets it.

Join the circle ~ Cooler than a Newsletter... I'll even drop my meal plan in your inbox so the thinking is done!

In this episode of The Modern Mother, Kath sits down with Psychic Medium, Kylie Stewart - an intuitive energy healer and guide for women navigating the deep initiations of motherhood. Together, they explore the unseen layers of mothering: womb healing, energetic clearing, spirit babies, and the way intuition becomes louder when we finally slow down enough to listen.

Kylie channels a message for the collective mothers, one that reminds us that motherhood isn’t just a physical experience, it’s a spiritual initiation.

This episode is for the woman who feels something shifting beneath the surface, who’s ready to remember the sacred, energetic power of being a mother.

In this episode, Kath sits down with Sarah Bragias, creative, mother, and former Block contestant, for an open hearted chat about the unexpected chapters of motherhood.

Sarah opens up about her jolt into motherhood with her son Leo, from navigating intrusive thoughts to finding her sense of self beyond “former The Block contestant” and “Mum.” She shares her experience in the special care unit, where days blurred together like Groundhog Day and survival became second nature.

This is a conversation about identity, resilience, and rebuilding, about the quiet strength found in sterile hospital rooms, the angels disguised as nurses, and the ways women continue to show up, even when everything feels uncertain.

Tune in for a grounded, honest reminder that motherhood isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.

Woh! That one came out of nowhere. Are you someone who has mastered keeping the tears in? Have you been in survival mode like this one? I thought I had....But I'd never experienced it this way.

When grief comes...But no ones dead. Holding the mother, a snap of hospital life and the vision for The Modern Mother Pod.

Welcome to The Modern Mother - an ode to the real, raw and unspoken essence of motherhood.

Hosted by Kath, founder of Bubba Cloud, this space explores the in between of it all, the beauty, the burnout, the love, the loss, and the quiet moments that hold us together.

Here, we talk honestly about modern motherhood: sleep, identity, work, relationships, and the fragments of calm that keep us going. We share stories, reflections, and real conversations that remind us we’re not alone in this season.

For the mothers who love deeply, feel it all, and are just trying to find themselves again.

Because being held isn’t a luxury.... it’s an essential.
