Toby and Will answer all our questions and some of yours too and I hope you find their insight as helpful as we did.If you enjoy the podcast please do leave me a 5-star iTunes rating and review and be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts from for more episodes. @mamastillgotit_@mitchell_evans_architecture@whiteandlloyd

This episode was such a laugh to do! Not only because I was with the most hilarious mum I know from the school gates Kristen Smith (aka @whineorwine on Instagram) but because you guys sent in your absolutely brilliant #HusBanned stories, about the ridiculous things our husbands do that drive us up the wall!Thank you to Kristen for being a brilliant guest once again and to my husband Jesse and Kristen's partner David for being good sports (and for David's tech support!) and to you all for your fantastic voice notes. Sorry I couldn't read them all out but we will definitely do another episode for #HusBanned Part 2!Louise Boyce: @mamastillgotit_Kristen Smith: @whineorwine

Sasha Louise Pallari is has recently gone viral thanks to her superb campaign #FilterDrop which is encouraging social media users and companies to drop filters from their posts, to create a more honest approach to what we see and upload online. She is a complete inspiration and her fierce and resilient approach to what she believes in has forced the Advertising Standards Agency to officially change the rules as to what companies and influencers can sell products online.She is not just a model, she is a role model who believes we can all be beautiful but we can also be more than that. Louise Boyce: @mamastillgotit_Sasha Pallari: @sashalouisepallari

Everyone needs to know about award-winning Nessa Organics and the amazing Fiona Toomey, CEO and founder, who is changing the skincare industry for the better. We've all used products that have cheap and nasty ingredients in that do your body more harm than good, Nessa is the exact opposite and Fiona joins For Pod's Sake to explain why she was so determined to make clean, organic products, free of junk, that women can use during and after pregnancy AND are safe for your newborn too.She also talks about Bliss, the charity she supports babies who are born prematurely or sick, and their families, and her own story that led her to that organisation and how Nessa supports the charity too. Fiona Toomey (NESSA): @nessaorganicsLouise Boyce: @mamastillgotit_

All-rounder Ashley James can do it all; she is a highly sought-after DJ, accomplished television presenter, a popular model, an activist and empowerment coach, an articulate social commentator with a huge social media following and a passionate campaigner for good causes. AND she is soon going to be a mother.She tells me about how much she is enjoying being pregnant, what made her changed her stance on touching up Instagram photos and how being locked in a house with none other than Ann Widdecombe changed her outlook on life entirely. Ashley James @ashleylouisejamesLouise Boyce @mamastillgotit_
