Super vulnerable episode for me! I know this is the reality for so many women postpartum.

Body positivity is the most powerful movement but can we be ok to share that we are unhappy with our bodies without being seen to be body shaming?

I don't feel good about my body. I barely feel neutral at the best of times.

But is this something new or is this just the way I have always viewed my body this way.

I am sharing because I know I am not the only one!

Please let me know if this sounds like you! we need to do something about this big time!

Hey Mama! This week I am asking the questions that will make you think! Think about who it is that you remember growing up and why! The women in your life that you admired the most! I want us to really reflect on the fact that if we keep on this martyrdom, we are just robbing our kids of a woman who shines and makes the most of her life. That is exactly what I now my kids need!

I hope you enjoy!

and mama (my mum) I love you

Is this a recipe for the older karen? Are we shrinking down so much that we explode and become so called "menopausal women"

I think this will be part 1 of a big discussion! BRB going to collect some karen's to interview LOL

Can we really have it all? Or is that a pretty way of telling us we are capable of taking on so much that we just should.

i am soooooo about women getting their coin! But that should be able to be something she prioritises and maximises not in and amongst everything else becuase she is capable.

Let's go there!

We are all familiar with this timeline right?...Get married. Have babies. Bounce back. Stay productive. Keep the house clean. Build the career. Be grateful. Be happy. Don’t fall behind.

In this episode of The Pooch Podcast, I unpack the pressure women feel to “keep up” with life milestones. We talk about why the timeline women are sold is unrealistic, why mums constantly feel behind, and how social media, patriarchy, productivity culture and mum guilt convince us that we should somehow be able to “do it all.”

If you’ve ever felt like everyone else is moving forward while you’re stuck surviving, this episode is for you.

This podcast is for mums who are tired of pretending they have it all together. Real conversations about motherhood, mental load, burnout, self care, mum guilt, identity, relationships, postpartum life and the messy reality of raising children while trying to hold onto yourself.

On this episode I talk about some of my major considerations i raising my daughter in 2026.

She is only 6 years old, but she wont always be and there are some very important things that I want to instil in her... not once its too late, not once she has already formed as an adult, to then need to undo.

I always feel like there is power in knowing what went wrong. I feel mum guilt beacuse I believed that there was such a thing as a perfect mum. Now that I know that a perfect mum is a mythical creature, how can I not pass this to my daughter?

In this episode of The Pooch Podcast, we are talking about something every mum feels but no one really says out loud… why it feels impossible to rest.

If you’ve ever looked around your home and thought “I can’t sit down until this is done,” this episode is for you.

We dive deep into the real reason mums don’t rest. It’s not because we don’t know we need it. It’s because of the pressure we carry. The beliefs we have about what it means to be a good mum. The guilt tied to mess, to laundry, to takeaway dinners, to sending your kids to school in a crumpled uniform.

I share the mental spiral that turns crumbs on the floor into feeling like you’re failing your kids… and why so much of that pressure is coming from expectations placed on women and mothers.

We also talk about the truth no one wants to admit

You will never be on top of everything

There is always a trade off

And chasing “having it all together” is what is actually burning you out

This episode is your permission slip to stop trying to keep up and start choosing what actually matters.

We talk about

Why “sleep when the baby sleeps” feels so triggering

Why resting can actually feel harder than pushing through

How dropping the ball on purpose is the only way to take control

And the powerful shift that happens when you start prioritising yourself without waiting for everything else to be done

Most importantly, we break down how self care and rest don’t just benefit you… they literally change your capacity to handle the chaos of mum life.

Because the mess doesn’t disappear

But the way it feels does

If you’ve been running on empty, feeling overstimulated, touched out, and constantly behind… this conversation will hit home.

This is real mum life

This is the mental load

This is your reminder that you deserve rest not because it makes you more useful… but because you are a human who deserves a calm nervous system and a good life

Come in, grab a drink, and let’s talk about it
