We spend so much time preparing for labour, but what about everything that comes after?

In this episode, I’m joined by Catriona from BabyBeats to talk about the postnatal journey that so many mums feel unprepared for. From pelvic health and physical recovery to confidence, connection, and loneliness, we explore the realities of early motherhood that often go unseen.

We talk about gentle movement as a form of healing, bonding with your baby through movement, and the power of group classes in helping mums find their people. This episode is for anyone navigating that tender postnatal phase and wondering where they fit now.

Birth isn’t just a physical experience, it’s deeply emotional, psychological, and shaped by the support we receive along the way.

In this episode, I’m joined by Charlotte, a hypnobirthing teacher and doula who is passionate about helping women and families feel safe, informed, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

We talk about emotional safety in birth, making informed decisions without fear, and how doula support can transform the way women experience labour, whether that’s at home, in hospital, or via caesarean. This conversation is about reclaiming confidence, trusting yourself, and knowing that you deserve a positive birth experience, whatever that looks like for you.

We often assume that modern maternity care is the safest, most supportive option available, but history tells a more complex story.

Today I’m joined by Liz, The Birth Historian, who takes us back to the 1930s and 40s, through the birth of the NHS, and into the maternity systems we know today.

We explore how childbirth was experienced before widespread medicalisation, what changed when the NHS was introduced, and what may have been lost along the way. This episode invites curiosity, reflection, and a deeper understanding of how history continues to shape women’s experiences of birth today.

What if dance wasn’t about perfection, pressure, or performance, but about confidence, belonging, and joy?

Today I’m joined by Charlotte, whose journey from leaving school at 16 to building two thriving, inclusive dance businesses is nothing short of inspiring. From babyballet® to Tap 2 Pointe Dance Company, Charlotte has created spaces where children of all abilities are encouraged to move, express themselves, and shine exactly as they are.

We talk about inclusion in children’s activities, supporting children with additional needs, confidence through movement, and why access to opportunity should never depend on background or privilege.

Motherhood can feel magical one minute and completely overwhelming the next. One moment you’re soaking it all in, the next you’re wondering how you ended up feeling so disconnected, from yourself, from friends, from the life you once knew.

Today I’m joined by Katie, founder of Mama’s Little Black Book, a platform created to bring together trusted support, local experts, and real-life connection for parents - from pregnancy all the way through to the teenage years.

In this episode, we talk about identity loss, the loneliness of modern motherhood, why community matters so much more than we admit, and how finding your people can change everything.

What if motherhood wasn’t about discipline, control, and meeting expectations - but about healing, intuition, and deep connection?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Charlotte, who shares her journey of parenting in an unconventional way and the guilt, judgement, and self-doubt that came with it. For years, she believed she was failing - until she chose to heal, return to herself, and trust her intuition.

We talk about parenting differently, raising intuitive and self-led children, letting go of control, and how spirituality and energy work transformed not just her parenting, but her relationship with herself.
