In this episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Michelle Norton-Hughes, co-founder of FlyMama and a women's health physiotherapist. Michelle is a total powerhouse when it comes to supporting women through the often unspoken challenges of motherhood. From healing birth trauma to helping women navigate postpartum recovery, Michelle's platform, FlyMama, is changing the game for maternal health.

We chatted about her journey from working with the military as a physiotherapist to launching FlyMama during lockdown - a time when the need for community and support for mums was more crucial than ever. Michelle opens up about the realities of motherhood, the struggles women face that often go unseen, and why trauma-informed care is absolutely essential.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

  • 🔹 The real side of motherhood—not the Instagram-filtered version
  • 🔹 How FlyMama is offering a lifeline for women through trauma-informed recovery
  • 🔹 The importance of community and why mums need safe spaces to heal
  • 🔹 Michelle’s personal journey juggling business, motherhood, and her own healing
  • 🔹 How healing is about so much more than just the physical—it's mental and emotional too
