Join us for part two of this incredibly candid conversation. In the second half of this interview, Tegan guides Alex and Julia through a conversation about their experiences with perinatal depression and Alex’s journey through pregnancy after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This is a really important conversation and one not to be missed for anyone living with or supporting someone through their mental health and motherhood journey. 

Trigger Warning: We would like to issue a trigger warning for this episode as it addresses sensitive topics related to mental health issues and suicide. 

Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to discuss not only the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement and mindset space, and make real change.
