Becoming Both

In this episode of Becoming Both , I’m getting deeeeep into all the identity shifts that come with motherhood - the physical, the emotional, the mental and spirtual. I chat through my own experiences of becoming a mum of two and how it’s changed literally every part of my life. My priorities are different, my relationships feel different, and even the way I see myself has completely shifted. Betwe...

In this solo episode of Becoming Both , I’m basically just chatting your ear off about life lately! A lil about motherhood, work, and all the chaos in between. I talk about what it’s been like juggling part-time nannying, my own babies, the podcast, my doula work, and this little dream I have of studying to become a counsellor (because clearly I don’t have enough on my plate already). I share what...

In this episode of Becoming Both , I sit down with Shauna Watson (@Motherly. Doula), a mum of two, to chat about what life can really be like when you end up with two babies under two. It’s one of those conversations where everything is discussed as she opens up about finding out she was pregnant again sooner than she expected, the guilt that hit her hard, and the mix of emotions that came with tr...

In this episode of Becoming Both , Tyron and I chat about what it really feels like trying to balance who I am as a person while also being a mum and a partner. We share some very real (and sometimes funny) stories about raising kids, juggling the house, and trying to stay connected in the middle of the chaos. We get into how our love languages actually play out in real life, what we both need to...

In this episode, I dive into what it’s really like navigating motherhood without a traditional support system or “village.” I talk about the challenges of raising young children with minimal help from family and friends, and I reflect on my own journey—growing up without my mum, having limited support from my dad, and figuring out how to do this whole parenting thing mostly on my own. I explore ho...

In this episode of Becoming Both , I sit down with my first-ever guest (besides Tyron, who barely counts, soz babe, the lovely Erin Hawksworth, an Adelaide doula and mum of two.

She opens up about her first birth, which was traumatic and nothing like wha...

In this episode, I’m back on the mic with my favourite reluctant co-host—Tyron. We dive into the beautiful chaos of motherhood, identity, and trying to survive a rainy day trapped inside with kids.

My heart is screaming yes , while Tyron is… let’s just say d...

This episode dives into life after having a baby and the wild, tender, complicated world of maintaining friendships once you become a parent.

Motherhood has completely r...

From light-hearted laughs to a few spicy debates, the two dive into everything from feedback on their last episode to Tyron’s new podcast plans and the chaos of their never-ending kitchen reno. They share...

In this episode, I’m chatting about life after birth and how motherhood and social media seem to constantly collide. It’s such a wild mix — the pressure to “get it right,” the judgment that pops up online, and that sneaky urge to compare ourselves to everyone else’s highlight reels. I share some of your thoughts and experiences around social media (because wow, there were some good ones!), and div...

In this episode, Tyron and I chat all about the birth of our first baby, Jamie and wowza, it was a lot . We go back to my first birth experience, which was pretty traumatic and definitely not what I expected. Jamie was posterior, I ended up with an epidural, episiotomy, fever and forceps (which resulted in long life pelvic floor damage) and how it all just felt really out of control. I share how u...
