The Pooch

In this episode of The Pooch, we’re diving into the 6 unique struggles of Millennial mums! Now, before you roll your eyes or think this is a “back in my day” debate — it’s not a pity party, a dig at other generations, or a struggle competition. We know we’ve got baby wipes, washing machines, and nappies on our side (thank goodness!) — but being a Millennial mum still comes with its own set of chal...

Why do we get things done quicker when we are alone? Why are we put in a situation where it is easier to take on the full load and know it will get done properly and on time rather than share it with someone else? Because we end up having to do the bulk of it anyway and in a way that is less efficient! On this episode I talk about the reasons mums find it sooooo much easier to get things done alon...

This episode is a little rant from me. In a world full of 'what about me' how do we put our own things aside and remember that we need to support eachother, including new mums by making sure that we dont do what was done to us! too easy to fall in to the trap of struggle shaming and thinking only of our circumstances in his individualistic world. If we truly want to find a sense of village, we nee...

On this episode I list a bunch of red flags when it comes to friendships. Becoming a mum can be so isolating and in the earlier years, there is nothing more you need than a circle of supportive people around you.
