This episode follows on from Episode 3, providing an update of the experience I’ve had helping my little girl transition to her first year of primary school. I share our journey, the emotional challenges we’ve had but also some tips and the strategies we’ve implemented to try and help both me and my little girl get through it! I talk about the importance of acknowledging the difficult feelings, preparing them for what to expect, and giving them an element of choice in the process. I also share my insight on the freeing aspects of this phase and how it can lead to personal development for mums.

About the Host

Hi, I’m Kelly - a mum of 2 and Hypnobirthing teacher and Birth Educator. My story starts with the premature birth of my little girl. I was shell shocked and felt disappointed in the care I had received during my labour, that left me with a less an ideal birth experience. I started motherhood feeling lonely, overwhelmed and without the slightest clue of how to make things feel better. When I fell pregnant for the second time, I knew I had to take back control. I practised Hypnobirthing and built my knowledge around birth, going on to have an incredible and powerful birth to my son. But something clicked for me. I knew I wanted to help other women build up their knowledge so they could have better experiences too. This led me to train to become a Hypnobirthing teacher, and I have been helping women with my 5* rated course, to feel more supported and have better birth experiences since 2021. Through this work, I’ve met other incredible experts in the Motherhood space and have began to build up a bank of knowledge on how we can make motherhood feel less chaotic and more happy and empowering. I’ve seen and felt the highs and lows of birth and motherhood and I don’t think anyone should go through the journey alone. So welcome, to ‘The Motherhood Guide: Birth and Beyond’, where I combine my knowledge and experience to help you feel seen, heard, reassured and supported.
