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 need to become village people too... not the YMCA type. well.. that could be fun too!

play

10/08/23 • 26 min

On this episode you will hear all about the ways I have changed since having a second baby. My 7.5month co-host also has a bit to say! I have found myself being practical and working with a lot more 'non negotiables' than ever before. I honestly dont know myself, in a very good way.... I hope!


In this episode I mention two books:

  1. The subtle art of not giving a F*ck - by Mark Manson
  2. Atomic Habits by James Clear

Enjoy x

The Pooch - Episode 40 - Parenting is HARD!
play

09/29/23 • 33 min

On this episode I talk honestly and openly about my parenting struggles. I am finding that maybe I have been off track, or maybe I am just in a new stage of parenting now that I have two kids. Either way, I am questioning the shit out of myself in every way!


*this is not a parenting podcast... I have NFI what I am actually supposed to be doing! I am just doing what I think makes sense.

I promise my next episode will be a little more chipper! x

The Pooch - Episode 34 - Making friends and red flags
play

04/26/23 • 31 min

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. Unfortunately, that is not always what you find when trying to connect with others. Often mums face the opposite in others (and yes, including other mums). So here are some things to look out for.
