It’s mental health awareness month in SA/NSW so I’ve given my co-host a few weeks ago so I can bring you a mini-series to amplify the message - that yours matters 🧡 Over the next four episodes I’ll share 6 life-changing tools that have helped me heal from PND and feel like my head is in a good place again ✨ But first, here’s a speedy zip through my own mental health struggles, and some reflectio...

Charlotte’s lost the plot and has resorted to scrolling Urban dictionary, and Claire’s so far over feeling shit she’s a bear with a sore head without a sense of humour 🫠 But ‘bear’ with us dearest Mamas because this week we do step you through the easiest journalling ritual for the end of your month, sharing our reflections in the process! ✨ We’d love to know your reflections - why not post them...

Another thing society has an opinion on as well as how you conceive, birth, feed and sleep your baby is how MANY babies you have. And when it comes to our choice (shock horror, we are actually doing Mamahood the same here), we’re ‘doing it wrong’. Here we share our very different journeys that have lead to the same outcome of being one and done (with one of us reserving the right to change her min...

As always this week’s episode gets into two very different schools of thought, this time around SLEEP! So often the BANE of most parents existence in those first few+ years. CJ1 is team sleep support, CJ2 is go with the flow, and they share their very different experiences in a non-judgey but raw + real way. This one’s for anyone who’s in the thick of trying to sort sleep out, who’s given in or up...

The poddy has been on a winter break for 3 whole months…it feels like longer, but also yesterday, and a LOT has happened for us all, huh? We’re well passed the longest day of the year, three new moons have f*cked us all up a little bit, some of us cried a few tears over school holidays and the latest World Cup, our littlies threw approx 962 tantrums….oh, and I found myself a co-host!

Wow, the end of an era…well, sort of! It’s the end of season 1! I hadn’t planned to have seasons but I’m all about living into our seasons soooo it makes total sense I’d apply that to the poddy.

This week I’m spilling the tea on my shit week, the ongoing mental health issues stemming from Bears birth, and what I did to help myself through it over a few days. We all have days/weeks/months like this, so how can we get ourselves out the other side quicker? Please rate, review and share in your stories if this resonated, Mama 🧡 ILY!

We all know we need it, should do it more, and that we’d help ourselves by practicing self-care every day. So why does it feel so bloody hard sometimes?

I asked for it, you brought the spice 🔥 How many kids do you want? Why do you and your husband sleep in separate beds? How’s the sleep regression going? What’s your most toxic trait? Warning, it gets a little fiery so make sure you have a cup of something stronger than coffee in hand 😝

In today’s ep I give an update on how I’m embodying my word for the year…and the INs/OUTs I shared at the start of Jan. While you listen why not check in with your own word for the year, how are you tracking with it, one month down? Send me a DM over at @mamahood.my.way and let me know, I’d love to hear!

Join me + fellow toddler mama, Cat, for a journey through our experiences of long haul travel recently with our toddlers. We share the good, the bad and the ugly - not that there was much of the latter, thank feck as we were both sh*t scared beforehand!
