It’s episode two and it’s a special one. Rebecca and Tess have a chat about what their surrogacy experience was like together. They’ve never had a proper debrief - you get to hear it all!

CONTENT WARNING: In this episode we talk about infertility, birth injuries and post birth injuries, and post-natal depression. Please take care and if you need help to process your birth - please check out these resources. You can also contact Little Shadow. They offer in person or online counselling for parents. 

It's episode one of The Mother Yarns! This first episode was recorded the day after our Wellington show was cancelled due to Level Two. We break down the highs and lows of the tour we just finished and talk about our hopes for the podcast.

CONTENT WARNING: We talk about what it would be like to get banged by (and bang) cartoon characters in this episode. There’s quite a bit of sex (not sexy) talk in it - so don’t listen to it with little ears around unless you want to have awkward conversations at school on Monday about it. Also don’t listen to it if the idea of imagining fucking Thomas The Tank Engine stresses you out. We also talk about poops in a sexual capacity. And of course Rebecca talked about her hemorrhoids and anal fissure because she always does.

We're two mums talking shit about – parenting, sleep, sex, surrogacy, birth, gender, feminism, activism, Hollywood Hunks and body stuff!
