Mum-e Matters

Looking after mum is looking after the baby’- an easy message to understand but one that’s often overlooked. Our guest this week is Isabel Jordon, an Accredited Lactation Consultant, who is here to bust those breastfeeding myths and also provide sound advice as to how to make the journey of breastfeeding more easier.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Kishori Jani, to talk all things empowering motherhood related. We explore areas like why being a mother is enough to feel fulfilled, why we should turn inwards to question why we put so much pressure on ourselves as mothers, finding our identities as mothers and how the ancient Vedic traditions are still relevant in motherhood today. 

This week, I’m joined by the founder of Mystrimumma, Pooja, who talks about how empowering mindset can be during pregnancy and while giving birth. We talk about changing the narrative and about the stigma associated with it. Pooja uses her own journey of motherhood as an example of how Hypnobirthing really works and how important it is to listen to your intuition as a mother. 

Shivani from Mint and pink events brings us her story of the reality of building her businesses while learning to keep up with the demands of motherhood. A candid chat about how we want to do it all and navigating through our journey to achieve our dreams, as well as talking openly about her own struggles around having Hyperemesis Gravidarum during pregnancy, the invisible load, juggling home life while trying to set up her business and much more!! 

Having personally had difficulties with major sleep deprivation with all 3 of my own children, I truly know how much we as parents need our sleep. If your finding it a battle too, I may have found the cure for you. I will be joined by baby sleep expert, Sonal Dhokia from Silverlining Sleep Consulting, to talk all things sleep related. We also explore the ‘village’ we all get told to count on, expectations, as well as busting myths around sleep. 

This week I have a candid sit down with the talented Dr Chloe Bedford to discuss anxiety. As a mother, we are often judged and tested but how we choose to cope is far more important than letting issues bring us down. We discuss the invisible load post covid, reality vs expectation and also look into techniques in combating anxiety and mum guilt.
