Today, I’m joined by Alex from Be A Happier Parent for a really honest conversation about how pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood can change your relationship.

We talk about the mental load, resentment, division of labour, emotional support and what birth partners can do differently from the very beginning. Alex also shares his own regrets and what he wishes he had understood sooner.

This is a powerful listen for anyone preparing for a baby with their partner.

In this episode I’m joined by obstetrician Dr Natalie Elphinstone to talk about Maternal Assisted Caesareans, a powerful approach that allows women to actively participate in the moment their baby is born.

We explore how caesareans are usually experienced, how this approach changes the birth environment, and why it can be such a meaningful option for some families.

As part of Caesarean Awareness Month I’m also sharing my C-section planning template! Grab it here.

In this episode we have the amazing Jessie Inchauspé, AKA The Glucose Goddess chatting all things pregnancy nutrition. She breaks down what really matters when it comes to supporting your body and your baby during pregnancy.

We explore blood sugar, food choices, energy, cravings and how nutrition can shape the way you feel throughout pregnancy. We also get into some of the most common misunderstandings around diet in pregnancy and how to think about food in a more informed, supportive way.

This is a really helpful episode if you want to feel clearer, calmer and more empowered around pregnancy nutrition.
