October 12, 2023 Episode 42 - Supporting new mums and remembering that we were once a new mum!
This episode is a little rant from me. In a world full of 'what about me' how do we put our own things aside and remember that we need to support eachother, including new mums by making sure that we dont do what was done to us! too easy to fall in to the trap of struggle shaming and thinking only of our circumstances in his individualistic world. If we truly want to find a sense of village, we need to become village people too... not the YMCA type. well.. that could be fun too!

September 29, 2023 Episode 40 - Parenting is HARD!
On this episode I talk honestly and openly about my parenting struggles. I am finding that maybe I have been off track, or maybe I am just in a new stage of parenting now that I have two kids. Either way, I am questioning the shit out of myself in every way!

*this is not a parenting podcast... I have NFI what I am actually supposed to be doing! I am just doing what I think makes sense.

April 26, 2023 Episode 34 - Making friends and red flags
On this episode I list a bunch of red flags when it comes to friendships. Becoming a mum can be so isolating and in the earlier years, there is nothing more you need than a circle of supportive people around you. Unfortunately, that is not always what you find when trying to connect with others. Often mums face the opposite in others (and yes, including other mums). So here are some things to look out for.
