WTAF!? Controversial topics in bite sized portions. When you only have time for a quick fix, but you’re wanting something spicy!
This week we’re sharing an IG reel that sparked a discussion on body image. The reel shows a woman’s funeral where she’s being remembered only for how she looks. We discuss whether this kind of content is shaming women for taking care of themselves and valuing their appearance, or whether it’s a healthy reminder that body image isn’t everything.
Hannah and Emma both had differing opinions on the reel which made this chat extra spicy!

On this week's episode of Motherhood Confessions, we chat with one of our listeners who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 16.
She shares the challenges of planning a pregnancy with the added complexity of needing to go off mediation, and how her experience of pregnancy and early parenting has been while juggling postnatal hormones and bipolar disorder.

In this epidemic of loneliness so many of us are experiencing feelings of isolation, especially after having children. In this week’s episode we chat about what a women’s circle is, and why these are such an amazing way to form and nurture connections between other women within your community.
We are chatting with Rachael Rose, a Doula and women’s circle facilitator. Rachael is a mother and community maker who lives on the South Coast of NSW. She facilitates women's circles, is the founder of Together, her circle facilitator training, and mentors other mothers in business.
Rachael helps women reclaim their stories, feel more powerful and give less fucks about being perfect! Her teaching style is humorous, engaging, compassionate, and a little sweary (our kind of gal). As a mother of two home-schooled children, Rachael has grown her heart-centered business alongside her family.
