57. Episode 57 - 4 Reasons you need to to put your life vest on FIRST!
34:43||Ep. 57What does it really mean to put your life vest on first as a woman and why does it feel so uncomfortable to do?In this episode, we go beyond the overused self-care clichés and unpack the deeper truth: women are conditioned to self-abandon in the name of harmony, care, and love. Long before motherhood, many women are taught to absorb emotional labour, smooth things over, and prioritise everyone else, often at the cost of their own intuition, autonomy, and identity.We explore:Why women are socialised to be the emotional shock absorbersHow chronic depletion disconnects women from their intuitionWhy exhaustion quietly limits choice and keeps women stuckWhat it actually means to put your life vest on first, without guiltThis conversation isn’t about bubble baths or productivity.It’s about self-trust, agency, and refusing to disappear.If you’ve ever felt burned out, lost, resentful, or unsure of what you even want anymore — this episode will put language to something you’ve felt but maybe couldn’t explain.✨ Putting your life vest on first isn’t selfish. It’s how women stay connected to themselves.

56. Episode 56 - 3 things people judge mums for instead of staying in their LANE!
59:08||Ep. 56On this episode I talk about the 3 things mums get judged for! Mums are judged for parenting choices, do I breastfeed? Do I formula feed? Do I go back to work as soon as I have a baby? Can I afford time off work to spend with my baby? Do we do carrier naps? Are dummies ok? All the this we have to consider with great difficulty. Mums are judged for thier lifestyle choices? Career? SAHM? Spend too much? spend too little? Dress nice? How can I dress nice as a mum? How can I take some time for myself as a mum? What is the home like? how to the children behave? What school are they going to? how many extra curricular activities is enough? how many is too many ..... GASP There are more people in this world who will always have something to say!!! they just dont know how to stay in thier lane!55. Episode 55 - What the F*#K is the village and where do I get MINE?
37:48||Ep. 55In this episode, we unpack what people really mean when they say “it takes a village” and why so many mums today feel like they’re parenting without one.A village isn’t just extra hands or babysitters. It’s a way of living and raising children that centres shared responsibility, collective wisdom, emotional support, and belonging. Today, mums are often expected to do it all: recover physically, regulate emotionally, parent intentionally, contribute financially, and somehow still feel grateful... largely on their own. This isolation isn’t a personal failure; it’s a structural one.This episode dives into:Why village-style wisdom exists (and why it’s often missing now)How knowledge used to be shared through lived experience, not perfectionWhy collective support benefits everyone, not just mumsMost importantly, we talk about how we can rebuild elements of the village in modern life by intentionally creating connection, shared care, and honest conversation now.Because mums don’t need to be stronger.This episode is a reminder that motherhood was never meant to be done alone...and that craving a village doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human.54. Episode 54 - Relatable mum content! Is it really helpful?
33:55||Ep. 54In this episode, I open up about why I created this podcast in the first place: to be what I desperately needed as a new mum. I wanted a space where the messy, uncomfortable, overwhelming parts of motherhood were spoken about honestly, so that any mum feeling lost, chaotic, or “not enough” would know it’s not her, it’s the season she’s in.I talk about the damage of highlight-reel culture, especially in postpartum. Seeing influencers bounce back with abs at six weeks made me believe I should be able to do the same, without understanding the reality of having a baby in my arms 24/7, a mind in turmoil, a house in chaos, and zero capacity for self-care.So is relatable mum content the answer? Or are we creating new and lower standards for women?53. Episode 53 - Battle of the mums! SAHM v Working Mum
45:18||Ep. 53On this episode we go there! I break down why we compare who has it harder and we take a deeper dive into who really has it harder, stay at home mums, working mums or the WFH mum! I wonder who will end up winning this comp! Why do we feel the need to compare? Why do we want to show who is struggling more? is it to show who really has it harder? Or is it to satisfy our own need for validation. Was it really that hard for us? Or were we the ones who just couldn't cope as well as others?52. Episode 52 - The 3 beliefs mums hold onto that cause GUILT!
26:22||Ep. 52On this episode of The Pooch, I talk about the deep seeded beliefs that most women share that end up causing us so much guilt. I also talk about where these beliefs come from. We just need a little re-wiring and I think our guilt will be about the 10th of what we experience daily. It is easier said that done but when you truly understand that being calm all the time is just not humanly possible, that the ideal mother has nothing to do with doing it all, with no help and with no suffering or that taking care of your self and your needs is not selfish.. actually it is the most important thing... When we truly accept this information- I really believe women can have a better time in motherhood.51. Episode 51 - How I knew I wanted to have a baby
26:47||Ep. 51In this story-time episode of The Pooch, I share my journey to becoming a mum... twice. Inspired by becoming a “cunty” (cousin-aunty) to twin nephews and by watching my cousin step into motherhood with such strength I thought I would ask the big question: How did you know you wanted to have a baby?
