Navigating hyperemesis, working with a newborn, her husband's cancer diagnosis and a pregnancy loss with Think Thornbury owner Maggie May Moshe

1 hour 8 minutes

Vomiting 30 times a day while trying to run a shop. No parental leave after the birth of her son Remy. Owning a retail business in Melbourne during a pandemic. Navigating her husband’s cancer diagnosis and treatment.

And then, after falling pregnant with the baby that the doctors said would be nearly impossible to conceive without assistance, a pregnancy loss.

Navigating motherhood and career for Think Thornbury owner Maggie May Moshe has not been linear.

Here, she walks us through it all: from navigating managing the shop alongside hyperemesis in pregnancy and later a four-month-old while her husband was on tour to how they adapted during lockdowns, a cancer diagnosis and a pregnancy loss.

We laugh and we cry, and we could’ve talked for hours.
