I am extremely passionate about fertility and fertility awareness and would love to bring greater awareness around the subject and so I  am undertaking a special series within my podcast around fertility.

Part 1 | Fertility and the Mindset

In the first of my fertility series, I invited Becky Ackerman a fertility mindset coach who specialises in helping women struggling with infertility feel calm and confident while naturally increasing their chances of pregnancy.

Navigating pregnancy announcements and baby showers can be immensely challenging if you are struggling with infertility, and within this episode, we aim to focus on how some of the challenges can be tackled as well discussing some really important topics such as unexplained infertility, secondary infertility and what could be implemented to help support oneself through fertility challenges.

Stretch marks, what if anything to do about them?

Let's talk about hand, foot and mouth disease, no not the disease cows get but the other one, or one of many that children seem to pass around.

I've been binge-watching Modern Family and decided to talk about it on TikTok which has elicited some 'responses'!

And let's talk about some of those silly arguments you may have in a partnership!

Plus what would I do differently if I was starting my podcast again?

This week I wanted to explore the intricate balance that is marriage by talking about some of the sometimes silly arguments I have with my husband.

'All is fair in love and war'  as they say which leads nicely onto my other subjects where I talk about some of the things that have been populating Tiktok, including the UK general election announcement, baby reindeer and the now infamous Bridgeton.

Also, why not catch up with one very tired mum because it's been a hell of a week, there's been teething, there been tantrums but what there hasn't been is sleep!

If you have listened to the episode and you are curious about the Tiktok I refer to you can find it here.

My job search is finally over, but what have  I learnt from job searching and changing careers?

With my little one getting older I talk about the challenges of working, and generally getting things done and how inevitably the Mummy meltdown can occur.

And as usual, my Tiktok obsession has landed me on the very hot topic of the Met Gala which has gained press for its parallel to the Hunger Games.

It's been a bit of a mixed bag of ramblings this week and I have covered such a huge amount of topics, but if you don't mind that then press that play button.

But what's coming up?

...Is my one-year-old having toddler tantrums already, what's the best way to navigate this?
...I've been watching Fallout, but how does it match up to other big shows that have been on?
...Mental health, how my own experiences have reflected on the current news regarding changing disability assessments and payments.
...An update on my postpartum fitness journey and my relationship with my mum's pouch!

Looks like I'm back to looking at TikTok videos but this week something caught my eye regarding breastfeeding, so I decided to offer my thoughts on the video.

An update on my job searching and the inevitable CV rewrite.

I had to talk about public sector wages as I considered going back to nursing after saying I wouldn't!

I visited the Doctors to discuss, my physical health and the the real need to finally take ownership of improving my mental health.
