  • When Your Body Holds the Stress: Real-Life Ways to Release It with Mel Gorry
    Aug 18 2025

    In this episode of Thriving Parenting, Jen sits down with remedial massage therapist who specialises in nervous system healing Mel Gorry to explore how stress and trauma show up in our bodies—and most importantly, how we can release them.

    Mel shares her personal journey of living with cystic fibrosis, facing medical trauma, and discovering the healing impact of bodywork. Together, they unpack why the nervous system often holds onto unresolved experiences, how tension hides in our fascia, and the real-life signs that your body might be crying out for release.

    From birth trauma to childhood anxiety, migraines to “mum overwhelm,” Mel offers compassionate, practical ways to reconnect with your body and bring it back into balance. You’ll also hear stories of transformation from her clients and learn simple steps—like breathwork, grounding, and mindful movement—that you can start using today to build nervous system flexibility.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in stress, constantly on edge, or disconnected from your body, this episode is a gentle reminder that healing is possible—and it starts with listening to the wisdom your body already holds.

  • Baby Bitesize: Why “Getting Your Baby to Sleep” Might Be Making It Harder
    Aug 11 2025

    In this bite-sized episode of Thriving Parenting, we unpack a powerful reframe that could change the way you approach your baby’s rest. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of “getting” your baby to sleep, you’re not alone — but that hyperfocus can actually make the process more challenging for both of you.

    Discover why sleep isn’t something we can force, how control can trigger stress responses, and why safety and connection are the real foundations for peaceful rest. Learn practical ways to shift from making sleep happen to creating an environment where it happens naturally — building trust, tuning into cues, and supporting your child’s growing independence.

    If sleep has started to feel like a battle, this episode will help you find a calmer, more connected path forward.

  • Sleep, Sickness & Surrender: Supporting Rest Through Illness and Temperament
    Aug 4 2025

    When sickness hits your household, especially your little one, it can rattle routines and unearth a wave of panic—especially around sleep. In this heartfelt and informative bite-sized episode, we explore how to navigate your child’s sleep during times of illness, leaning into rest rather than fearing regression.

    Bringing her dual perspective as a nurse and mother, your host shares valuable insights on modelling calm during sickness, understanding how family history impacts our responses, and how different child temperaments—whether orchid, tulip, or dandelion—cope with being unwell. She also breaks down when to let your child sleep more, when to gently guide them back into rhythm, and how to offer support without unraveling the whole sleep routine.

    From tips on upright contact naps and steam showers to the power of honey, humidifiers, and holding space, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you surrender the fear, honour your child’s needs, and feel more grounded through the healing journey.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • How your personal illness history shapes your parenting
    • Why your child’s temperament matters during sickness
    • When extra sleep is helpful—and when it may be disrupting
    • Practical supports: medications, naps, contact comfort, and sleep routines
    • Why 'less is more' when offering sleep support—and how to build it gradually

    Illness is part of parenting. But it doesn't have to unravel everything. Learn how to support your child’s rest with calm, confidence, and compassion—even when things feel tough.

    🎧 Listen now and feel empowered to parent through illness with more ease.
