<description>On this episode of The Pooch, I talk about the deep seeded beliefs that most women share that end up causing us so much guilt. I also talk about where these beliefs come from. We just need a little re-wiring and I think our guilt will be about the 10th of what we experience daily. It is easier said that done but when you truly understand that being calm all the time is just not humanly possible, that the ideal mother has nothing to do with doing it all, with no help and with no suffering or that taking care of your self and your needs is not selfish.. actually it is the most important thing... When we truly accept this information- I really believe women can have a better time in motherhood. &lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

Episode 52 - The 3 beliefs mums hold onto that cause GUILT!

<description>&lt;p&gt;In this story-time episode of &lt;em&gt;The Pooch&lt;/em&gt;, I share my journey to becoming a mum... twice. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inspired by becoming a “cunty” (cousin-aunty) to twin nephews and by watching my cousin step into motherhood with such strength I thought I would ask the big question: &lt;em&gt;How did you know you wanted to have a baby?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

Episode 51 - How I knew I wanted to have a baby 

<description>&lt;p&gt;In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest pressures mums face... the pressure to be &lt;em&gt;perfect.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’re constantly surrounded by messages, comparisons and highlight reels showing what “perfect motherhood” looks like. But who actually decides what perfect means?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode, I unpack where our ideas of the “perfect mum” come from... our own upbringings, social media, and the invisible standards we hold ourselves to. I’ll share why those expectations are often impossible (and unfair), and how to redefine what &lt;em&gt;perfect&lt;/em&gt; truly means for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By the end of this episode, you’ll see that being the perfect mum isn’t about doing everything right, it’s about doing the best you can with what you have. And that, by definition, &lt;em&gt;is perfect.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

Episode 50 - The 4 things you can do TODAY to be the perfect mum!

<description>&lt;p&gt;On this episode of &lt;strong&gt;The Pooch&lt;/strong&gt;, we dive into the &lt;em&gt;fourth trimester- &lt;/em&gt;the often forgotten but oh-so-important first 12 weeks after birth. ✨&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’ll talk about what the fourth trimester really is, why your recovery matters just as much as your baby’s, and why it’s completely normal to feel emotions you never expected. You’ll also hear how, in these early months, you’re learning just as much as your baby is, because motherhood is a journey of growth for both of you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This isn’t about perfect houses, bouncing back, or highlight reels of unreachable standards. This is about giving you a real sense of mum life — raw, messy, beautiful, and human.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.
