  • Series 2 - Episode 8: Maria Martin - Asking for help, decluttering, Mrs Hinch and Stacey Solomon

    We're so pleased to celebrate our final episode with the wonderful Maria Martin, who is digital editor of Mother and Baby, Yours Magazine, and a mum of 2 little ones.

    Maria shares with us that ‘self care’ for her is a good old declutter and tidy, inspired by Mrs Hinch, Stacey Solomon and Declutter Dollies.

    We talk mental health, asking for help, and finding time for yourself when there really is no time!

    We’d like to wish Maria and her family many congratulations on the birth of their little girl this week!

  • Series 2 - Episode 7: Jemma Thomas - Exercise for your mind, your body just comes along for the ride.

    In episode 7 of series 2, Aimee and Fi sit down with Jemma Thomas, owner of THE HUB an online fitness community that champions exercise for mental fitness. 

    An absolute joy to talk to (and incredibly zen) Jemma talks about exercise helping mental health, getting up at silly o’clock (in our opinion!) to journal, and how it’s helped her cope with day to day life, no matter how little time she has.

  • Series 2 - Episode 6: Zoe Burnett - The Barefoot Rebel - Eating Disorder Recovery

    **Trigger Warning - Eating disorders**

    This week’s episode, with Zoe Burnett, was recorded a while ago, but listening back to it over the last couple of days, was a brilliant reminder of how blooming brilliant the conversation was.

    An International public speaker, Author & mental warrior, suicide survivor and TedX speaker, Zoe has a lot to say. She is raw, strong and honest. She's also fun, hilarious, and was an utter pleasure to talk to. 

    She talks about her experiences of being told she 'was too fat' to have an Eating Disorder, and her recovery.

    We are so proud to have Zoe on our show.

  • Series 2 - Episode 1: Kate Dyson on Comparison Culture, and the loss of responsibility of our words.

    We're delighted to kick off our second series with the wonderful Kate Dyson, who is the founder of The Motherload - an absolutely invaluable Facebook group for mums.


    Kate got us kicked out of zoom twice because we were talking too much, we laughed a lot, swore far too much (😬) and put the world royally to rights.

    In this week's episode, we talk about comparison culture, hiding in the pantry, trusting our instincts, and whether we've lost the responsibility of our words.

    The episode goes live first thing tomorrow across the usual platforms, and we really hope you enjoy listening to it, and get as much out of it, as we did when we were recording it.

    You can find The Motherload Facebook Group here, the website here, and Kate's Instagram here.
