The Pooch

First of all CONGRATULATIONS! With that said, I want you to understand that the postpartum experience of your partner will heavily weigh on how well she is supported especially over the earlier months once the baby has arrived. I have chosen the 5 things I think are most important for you to know, because this lays heavily on you now! We have all heard of postpartum depression, baby blues etc but I can tell you, hand on heart, the stats will look vastly different once the postpartum period is treated as primarily a recovery phase. Please pass this episode to someone who needs to hear it. Love ya! Lorena @thepoochpodcast thepoochpodcast@gmail.com

Super vulnerable episode for me! I know this is the reality for so many women postpartum. Body positivity is the most powerful movement but can we be ok to share that we are unhappy with our bodies without being seen to be body shaming? I don't feel good about my body. I barely feel neutral at the best of times. But is this something new or is this just the way I have always viewed my body this way. I am sharing because I know I am not the only one! Please let me know if this sounds like you! we need to do something about this big time!

I LOVED recording this episode with one of my best friends on the planet! Plenty of crazy episodes to COME!

Is this a recipe for the older karen? Are we shrinking down so much that we explode and become so called "menopausal women" I think this will be part 1 of a big discussion! BRB going to collect some karen's to interview LOL

On the return of our school holiday edition we talk about all things strict mums! Find out what my big girl thinks of how strict I am!

Well well well.... Turns out Lorena has a judgy side. Doing a lot of self discovery lately and wanting to be more honest and open with you. Including my real (non-people pleasing) opinions ... gulpI hope you enjoy! x Lorena

Can we really have it all? Or is that a pretty way of telling us we are capable of taking on so much that we just should. i am soooooo about women getting their coin! But that should be able to be something she prioritises and maximises not in and amongst everything else becuase she is capable. Let's go there!

We are all familiar with this timeline right?...Get married. Have babies. Bounce back. Stay productive. Keep the house clean. Build the career. Be grateful. Be happy. Don’t fall behind.In this episode of The Pooch Podcast, I unpack the pressure women feel to “keep up” with life milestones. We talk about why the timeline women are sold is unrealistic, why mums constantly feel behind, and how social media, patriarchy, productivity culture and mum guilt convince us that we should somehow be able to “do it all.”If you’ve ever felt like everyone else is moving forward while you’re stuck surviving, this episode is for you.This podcast is for mums who are tired of pretending they have it all together. Real conversations about motherhood, mental load, burnout, self care, mum guilt, identity, relationships, postpartum life and the messy reality of raising children while trying to hold onto yourself.
