Parenthood

After talking about mental health before birth, we’re now unpacking what can happen after the baby arrives.

Postnatal depression.
Postnatal anxiety.
Rage.
Intrusive thoughts.
Feeling disconnected.
Feeling like you should be happier.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr Nicole to talk honestly about:

• Why postnatal depression doesn’t always look like sadness
• The anxiety no one prepares you for
• When baby blues cross into something more
• And where to seek support

Motherhood can be beautiful…and brutally overwhelming.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I not coping the way I thought I would?”

This conversation is for you 🤍

This week I sit down with Tayla Broad to chat all things life after motherhood.

We delve into body dysmorphia, how we can teach our children to treasure their bodies and value. We discuss why Tayla feels it’s so important to maintain privacy when it comes to sharing her daughter online, what building a new village can look like, feeling touched out and so much more.

This episode is all about the fight my husband and I had over a container, during the highest pressure cooker time of the day – dinner time.

But we all know it’s never just about the container.

I hope that this episode makes you feel a little less alone in the chaotic randomness that is life with kids.

Before the baby arrives… there’s often a whole invisible chapter no one talks about.

In this episode, I sit down with a psychologist to unpack the mental health challenges that can show up before birth — infertility, prenatal anxiety, depression during pregnancy… and the quiet shame that can sit alongside it all.

Because you can be deeply grateful…
and deeply struggling.

We talk about:
• The emotional toll of trying to conceive
• Anxiety that doesn’t magically disappear once you’re pregnant
• Why prenatal depression is more common than we realise
• How to get support early (without feeling dramatic)

If this season of life felt heavier than it “should have”, this conversation is for you 🤍

You are not failing. You are human.

In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re chatting all things intimacy and sex.

We asked you how often you’re having sex, when you’re having it and we’re ready to share.

We chat, bedtime routine sex handbrakes, feeling touched out, erotic novels, guilt around lack of sex and getting our heads in the clouds.

If you’ve ever wondered about other people’s sex lives, this one is for you.
