Welcome to Women’s Circle and a big thank you for tuning in wherever you are today. I am speaking to Cassandra Leigh today, a woman who has literally experienced it all when it comes to pregnancy. Cass had always felt a strong desire to be a mother and yet, it would take a journey at 17 years old with a pregnancy termination followed by a miscarriage, a stillborn baby and finally the beautiful arrival of her much wanted son, Magni at the age of 30.
Cass is determined to use her experience to support other women to have really supported and calm birth experiences. This is another inspiring chat with a powerful woman and I am so grateful to share this story with you today.

Welcome beautiful people, it is so lovely to have you here again today on Women’s Circle. My name is Carlie, I am the founder of Mumma Got Skills and I am bringing you the real stories of women in our community. Today I am speaking with children’s author and artist, Gwendolyn Gray. Gwen has lived and painted at her home by Horseshoe Lagoon in Casino, NSW for the past 35 years.
Watching the daily antics of the local waterfowl on the lagoon and inspired by Beatrix Potter helped Gwendolyn to write a series about a little duckling and his adventures. Gwen is married to a local farmer and has two grown children.
She loves her home town and the local community in which she has become well-known even receiving a nomination for Citizen of the Year and also awarded Clarence Electorate Woman of the Year.
We will be discussing:
Death of Gwen’s father leading to childhood anxietyArt as a coping mechanismLosing Gwen’s mother at 22 compounding the unresolved griefHelicopter parenting as an unconscious coping mechanism The literal ‘breakthrough’ to healingGetting to know yourself is so important before you have a babyThe power of the women’s group for bonding and supportFinding safety in a group giving space to look deeply at yourselfThe victim mentality as a false story that blocks lightThe stories we hear impact us even in utero - what we think and say is energy!Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) as a tool for releasing painOur children are our healersThe process of personal growth and healing through motherhoodRecognising our childhood triggers through our reactions to our childrenChanging your relationships by doing you inner workTransformation of Gwen’s art through the healing processGratefulness Practice leading to big thingsThe birth of ‘Bucket the Naughty Duckling’The compounding stress of new motherhoodWelcoming you to the space.

Welcome to season 2 of Women’s Circle, my name is Carlie and I am so grateful to have you here today as we discuss real Australian women and their journey’s to motherhood and beyond.
Today we are speaking to Ellie D as a follow-up from her pregnancy journey now 3 months ago. You can check out our first chat on episode 11. Ellie D is a successful web radio producer, podcaster, creative and all round amazing woman who is now a mother to twin girls and a 2 year old boy.
Ellie is back to recap on the journey since the birth of her twin girls at 32 weeks after 87 nights in hospital with twin to twin transfusion syndrome. They then spent a further 5.5 weeks post birth in NICU.
I can tell you that this chat is raw and real as much as it is beautifully honest. Ellie is candid about her very present struggle with her new reality and all that it is bringing up within her to be healed.
**Please note that there are themes of post natal anxiety and depression, trauma and ptsd related to pregnancy. If any of these bring up anything within you, please find some helpful links below and seek support immediately.

Welcome to Episode 8 of Women’s Circle, a big hello to you wherever you are listening to this. Today I am speaking about the previously taboo subject of periods. In the patriarchal society to which we are present, there has been no room for this very important cycle to exist, let alone dictate our productivity. I had the pleasure of sitting down with fellow mum and period warrior, Matilda Marsh. Matilda is the co-creator of Myoni menstrual cups and she is here to explain how we can use our cycle to our advantage in work and in life. This is such an important part of our female system and one that should be given much more love and respect. Settle in for an hour of knowledge and female empowerment!
We will be discussing:
- Matilda’s personal journey to co-creating Myoni
- Understanding the menstrual cycle
- Cultural conditioning around periods
- Better understanding female anatomy through menstruation
- Accessing health professionals attuned to your cycle
- Tracking your period as a tool to understand the whole spectrum of your life
- 4 phases of the cycle and what they mean for your moods and productivity
- Living your best life with your menstrual cycle
- Resting as an integral part of your bleed
- Masculine hormonal cycle is daily as opposed to the feminine monthly cycle
- Lack of ceremony or ritual around first menstruation leading to shame?
- Menstrual cycle symbolic of seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn).
- Masculine cave time for regeneration
- Irregular cycles can still be tracked and followed to benefit you
- Practices to support PMS
- Are contraceptives as helpful as we think?
- Hormones in pregnancy and linked to your cycle
- Outlets for the mental load
- Language to normalise menstruation
- Benefits of menstrual cups

Welcome to episode 7 of Women’s Circle! Thank you for joining us this week, however you found us, we are so excited to have you here. Today is a very special interview because I am talking navigating or rather revolutionising your intimate relationships with Francis Borg, Imago Relationships Therapist. I was fortunate enough to attend a weekend workshop with Francis and now better understand what we carry into our relationships subconsciously and how that all comes up for healing as we progress. As a single parent, you might wonder why this is relevant for me but I can absolutely advocate that the tools and awareness I gained from this workshop have helped me process my past behaviours in relationships and how to be aware of them as I move forward. Namely the fact that we unconsciously choose a partner that reflects one of our early caregivers to complete childhood…process that for a minute…I highly recommend this for ALL couples at all stages of love and you can find Francis’ workshop details in the show notes.
We will be discussing:
- What is IMAGO Relationship Therapy
- Early attachment wounds
- How Francis found the work she now does
- Self-awareness around childhood patterning
- Communicating needs over ‘getting him to do what I want’
- Unconsciously choosing a partner to complete childhood (what!?)
- Chemistry around ‘being in love’ linked to early caregivers
- The ‘Power Struggle’ phase - the make or break in a relationship
- Maximiser and Minimiser dynamics in a relationship
- Communicating using IMAGO dialogue
- Non-Verbal Communication
- Seeing our partner’s reality as their truth
- Entering the relationship consciously
- Counselling as good practice and maintenance not a sign of relationship failure
- Healing systemic cycles of destructive relationships through counselling
- Closing exists to the relationship in order to show up for each other

Living in Brisbane, Suzanne opens up about having two children in a new country away from family, agonising sleep difficulties and big BIG feelings post birth.

My name is Carlie Dole and I am the founder of Mumma Got Skills, a social enterprise that aims to create a safe supportive space where new mums feel comfortable to share their vulnerabilities. In a modernised ‘weaving circle’ style we make crafty things whilst we chat and connect. I am passionate about the work that I do and find opportunities to meet women where they are most in need. I run workshops in the community, through the hospital and in partnership with councils and private organisations.
Women’s Circle by Mumma Got Skills came about from the many many incredible stories I have had the pleasure to listen to in the postnatal craft groups that I run in Queensland, Australia. Becoming a mother may be something that women have done for thousands of years however, it does not take away from the profound transformational nature of this sacred journey.
Women’s Circle is a space to share the stories of local women in the hopes that their words may support, validate or shape your own journey. I personally have been on an immense journey of growth since having my son in December 2017 and I love to connect my community with resources and support in all things personal development and parenting.
Get ready to hear from women just like you as well as a sprinkling of chats with experts in different fields relating to women and motherhood.
I am so very excited to share this space with you. Welcome.

A big welcome to you on our very FIRST podcast episode for Women’s Circle by Mumma Got Skills. I am so honoured to have you here today and I sincerely hope you get a lot out of hearing from other women who have gone through similar or different experiences to you.
Today I am speaking with Hareta McMullin. Hareta is from New Zealand originally but now calls sunny Brisbane her home. Hareta is a new mum to son Charlie and is a HR manager when she is not mumming. Today we dive deep straight away…my favourite place to play.
We will be chatting about growing up Mauri with light skin, the profound nature of inner work, emotional intelligence and the impact of the Black Lives Matter campaign on reconnecting with culture and heritage.
We will be speaking about having a premature baby, bonding after that experience and how the 5 Love Languages can help open up a whole lot of connection in significant relationships in your life.
