Two Under Two: Trauma, Healing & Reclaiming Yourself Through Yoga With Hayley From Happy Moon Yoga

Motherhood can stretch us in ways we never expect, physically, emotionally, and mentally. And for many mums, the postnatal period becomes less about “bouncing back” and more about finding a way back to themselves at all. Today I’m joined by Hayley, founder of Happy Moon Yoga, a perinatal yoga specialist and mum of two under two. Rather than focusing on the details of birth, this conversation centres on what came after, how yoga supported Hayley in her postnatal healing, helped her reconnect with her body, and gave her tools to regulate her nervous system during an incredibly intense season of life. We talk about gentle movement, self-compassion, showing up imperfectly, and why Hayley created her online yoga club, a safe, accessible space for mums who might be struggling, overwhelmed, or simply craving a softer way to heal alongside their babies. This episode is for any mum who feels tender, nervous, or unsure, and needs permission to take things slowly. Have a dilemma, toddler whine or question to ask?

Freezing Time: Why Photographs Matter More Than We Realise With Photographer Julie

Motherhood moves fast, faster than we ever expect. One minute you’re in survival mode, the next you’re wondering how time slipped through your fingers. In this episode, I’m joined by Julie, a photographer who specialises in capturing warm, nostalgic, real-life moments for couples and families. From weddings to newborn days, Julie talks about why photographs aren’t about posing perfectly, they’re about preserving feeling, connection, and the chapters we’re living through. We explore why mums often avoid being in photos, how memories shift over time, and why documenting life as it is - messy, joyful, imperfect - matters more than we think.

Beyond the Pool: Why Confidence, Safety & Trust Start In The Water With Hannah From Water Babies

Together, we explore why early experiences in water go far beyond the pool, shaping children’s confidence, resilience, and life skills.

Birth Through the Ages: What History Can Teach Us About Modern Maternity Care With Liz, The Birth Historian

We often assume that modern maternity care is the safest, most supportive option available, but history tells a more complex story. Today I’m joined by Liz, The Birth Historian, who takes us back to the 1930s and 40s, through the birth of the NHS, and into the maternity systems we know today. We explore how childbirth was experienced before widespread medicalisation, what changed when the NHS was introduced, and what may have been lost along the way. This episode invites curiosity, reflection, and a deeper understanding of how history continues to shape women’s experiences of birth today. Have a dilemma, toddler whine or question to ask?

Unlearning Control: Healing Yourself Through Unapologetic Motherhood With Charlotte From Spiritual Flare

Explícito

What if motherhood wasn’t about discipline, control, and meeting expectations - but about healing, intuition, and deep connection? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Charlotte, who shares her journey of parenting in an unconventional way and the guilt, judgement, and self-doubt that came with it. For years, she believed she was failing - until she chose to heal, return to herself, and trust her intuition. We talk about parenting differently, raising intuitive and self-led children, letting go of control, and how spirituality and energy work transformed not just her parenting, but her relationship with herself.
