  • When Your Baby Has A Baby
    I'm 32 this year and am a product of the 90s. So, what was parenting like back then? What was the guidance like, the support? Join me as I chat to my mum Rebecca about the experience of pregnancy, birth and beyond in 1991. Plus, we touch on our relationship now and Rebecca's experience of being a Nanna.

  • The Juggle - Being Mum AND Being Me
    How many plates are you currently spinning? I bet it's a lot! I'm joined this week by Sophie Price (@sophie_pricey) to chat about THE JUGGLE. Friends, childcare, marriage, work, baby, plus taking care of yourself along the way...phew! I hope that by listening to this episode you realise that you're not alone when it comes to feeling like being a mum, being successful in other parts of your life all while trying to fill your own cup can be A LOT, sometimes.

  • Workin' 9 - 5 (or is that 5-9?)
    What does work look like when you have kids? This week, I'm joined by Cat Hufton, mum of two and founder of The Freelance Parent newsletter, to talk about careers after kids and earning money while you're trying to keep so many plates spinning. What is it like to step away from the corporate world to enter freelancing? And, what is it like to be a working mum in the freelance world? Cat and I connect on our experiences - the positives and the shortfalls of what it’s like when you’re working in a non-traditional job role, around looking after your children. We also talk about what flexibility is like for mothers and partners in a post-pandemic world. Music by ComaStudio from Pixabay Follow us and send a DM at @youstillpodcast.

  • There Were Three In The Bed
    This week, I'm joined by Zoe Ayre, known as The Respectful Mum (@therespectfulmum) on Instagram. She is a staunch advocate for gentle parenting from birth and in this episode we cover co-sleeping, or bedsharing. Why do it? What are the benefits? Is it safe? Listen to this episode to get the low-down on those close cuddles with your babe, and why co-sleeping could be the best thing you ever do.

  • When Is The Right Time To Have A Baby?
    Welcome back to You, Still - season two. Join me and Lucy Baker (@geriatric_mum) as we chat about the ongoing stigma many 'older' mums face and when - if ever - there is a 'right' time to have a baby.

  • The Man Who Made Me A Mum

    The last episode of season one brings with it a chat all about early parenthood with the man who made me a mum…my husband, Will!


    He is honestly the best of the best and I’m so lucky to have him as my husband and Polly’s dad. 


    We chat about how we’ve coped over the last few months, whether we feel our relationship has changed and how we remember that as well as Mum and Dad, we're Will and Ella as well.

  • Can Friendships Stay The Same After A Baby?

    I'm joined this week by Holly Cameron where we discuss whether friendships can stay the same after one party has a baby and whether, in fact, they should.


    This topic is extremely nuanced and we can only speak from our personal experience, so it would be great to hear from you and what you think!


    Sorry about my audio during our chat - my mic was buggin'!

  • What Even Is 'Normal' Baby Sleep?

    Leaps? Reflux? Tongue-tie? 30 minute naps? Catnaps? Drowsy but awake? Don't feed to sleep? DO feed to sleep? Don't rock, do rock, don't let them cry, DO let them cry...


    If you've ever had a newborn, you know how easy it is to be overwhelmed with information around what's best to do for your child. It can leave you feeling less than, and like you have created a 'problem' that needs to be 'fixed'.


    ...you may just have a normal baby.


    I'm joined this week by Emily from Fox and the Moon Sleep - @foxandthemoon_sleep - who dives into what is actually normal and why the sleep industry has a lot to answer for when it comes to making parents feel like they're doing something wrong!

  • Managing Mum Guilt and How Not To Be 'Perfect'

    What's that deep, gnawing sensation in your stomach, as soon as you step away from your baby and do something for you? It's that dreaded MUM GUILT.


    I'm joined this week by Dr Sophie Brock - @drsophiebrock - who drills down WHY we have that feeling, and what needs to change to ease it.


    I loved recording this episode and feel like we could have talked for hours. Dr Sophie explains that so much of the tension in motherhood actually comes from society and what it expects from us.


    I hope you'll come away from this episode feeling a little less guilty and a little more empowered!
