May 14, 2025Is This Normal? Guilt, Intrusive Thoughts and Matrescence with Dr. Bianca Mastromanno
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Bianca Mastromanno, a compassionate and experienced perinatal psychologist who supports women through the emotional transitions of pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. Together, we explore the mental load of motherhood — from intrusive thoughts and shifting identities to the pressure of societal expectations and the quiet grief of who we once were. Dr. Bianca brings both clinical insight and heartfelt empathy as we unpack what’s “normal,” when to seek support, and how mothers can move through this season with more self-compassion, resilience, and clarity. Whether you’re a new mum or navigating your second or third chapter, this conversation offers reassurance and gentle guidance in a world overflowing with noise. Dr. Bianca Offers some resources throughout the episode which are:

February 10, 2025 Connection And Attachment During Your Baby's Sleep With Hannah Clark
This episode is based on talking about sleep, but it's SO much more. Hannah is a mum of two, and certified sleep specialist living in Tasmania. Hannah empowers parents to recognise normal infant sleep behaviour and provides beautiful, what she calls, "kind sleep support" to parents with children aged 0-5. From her own experience, she learnt that traditional sleep training methods were not conducive to honouring what babies truly need to sleep: us, and so went to work on creating a thriving business which helps parents help their children to sleep while honouring brain development, attachment, connection, feeding support and sleep science. I'm delighted to be chatting with Hannah today and I hope you feel empowered to choose what’s best for your family when it comes to sleep. You can find Hannah on socials @kin.postpartum or at her website www.kinpostartumservices.com.au
