It's never too late to change your birth team! This week on Eat Sleep Sh*t Repeat, Kee takes us behind the scenes of her evolving birth plan for baby number two. After a tough decision to part ways with her original OB and doula, Kee dives into the new path she’s forging toward a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). She shares her experience of switching to a private midwife and the support she found through VBAC communities, as well as why she’s chosen to go public this time around.

Mummy, Why Can't That Lady Walk?
Talking to kids about disability can feel tricky, but it's a conversation that helps build empathy, understanding, and inclusivity from a young age. This week, Kee and Kelly are joined by Peta Hooke, host of 'The I Can’t Stand Podcast' and self-described as "your friendly girl next door who has a disability." Peta shares her insights and practical advice for answering those big questions kids have and explains why normalising conversations around disability is key to raising kinder, more aware kids.

"Mummy Says She's Fat": Toxic Diet Culture
Diet culture sneaks into so many aspects of our lives, and it can be hard to spot just how toxic it is - especially when it’s been normalised for so long. In this episode, Kee and Kelly dive into their personal experiences with body image and diet culture, unpacking how it affected them and what they've learned along the way. From childhood memories to shifting their mindset as parents, it's a real and relatable chat about breaking free from harmful messages and embracing a healthier approach.
