Previous Episode

Identity: Who Am I, Now I’m A Mum?

No matter how it happens, motherhood changes you forever.
Me After You is the show that asks the question: So, what now?

Each episode, host Laura Byrne guides some very different women through their very different stories of life after birth. In this first episode, we’re talking Identity, and you’ll hear from women like Alex Nation, who got pregnant at 18 and wrestled with being a kid with a baby, Narelda Jacobs, who had a shotgun wedding before coming out as gay to her very conservative family and a blogging mum with a huge following who never thought she wanted to become a mother.

And all of them have struggled with the same thing - who the hell am I, now that I’m a mum?

Romance: What's Romance?

If you're expecting, a new mum, or wrangling a toddler, we have all the best resources for new parents in our free newsletter here.

Love, romance, relationships...

Once a baby comes along, even those with the most rock-solid relationships can find it hard to maintain connection, and yet, romance can manifest in many different ways.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Alex Nation about how she navigated a messy split and how she came out to her son, Elijah. Actress Teresa Palmer, on how she makes her marriage work long-distance between Adelaide and Hollywood. And from many more mums about how they share the parenting load and keep romance alive with their partners, or on their own.
