In this episode, we share the realities of burnout, the decision to pause, and our heartfelt gratitude for the love and patience from our incredible listeners.
Renee reflects on a family trip to Fiji, where the presence of grandparents transformed the experience, giving her the space to truly unwind and enjoy island life with her son, Tide. We dive into the highs and lows of parenting, exploring the balance of gratitude and expectations when sharing childcare responsibilities with partners.
A candid conversation unfolds about a deeply personal experience Olivia had at a nail salon, where an unsolicited comment about her body sparked reflections on self-image and the emotional toll of body shaming, especially postpartum. We emphasise the importance of kindness, empathy, and creating safe spaces for all women.
We also discuss the emotional complexities of motherhood, touching on birth trauma and the importance of honouring both a mother’s and baby’s well-being. Processing these moments and respecting individual journeys is vital, and we advocate for greater support for mothers in every aspect of parenting.
To close, we lighten the mood with tales of grocery store chaos and the magic of attending a Coldplay concert, reminding ourselves of the joy in everyday moments.
Join us for a heartfelt, reflective, and uplifting start to the season.
