Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2020/11/25

Today is the last episode in this season - and the last of 2020! So this episode is all about me. Or more specifically - what I do.

What is the Fourth Trimester? {S2E11}

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2020/11/18

Today I'm answering a question that most people don't even think to ask - because it's barely discussed as part of your standard antenatal care! Yet it could be one of the most important steps towards truly coping and ultimately flourishing as a mother. In fact, most mums I know say 'I wish someone had told me how hard it would be in the early days.' It might be impossible to truly get across what it's like, but I hope that by understand what the fourth trimester is - and truly honouring it - then

What to Eat to Power Childbirth {S2E9}

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2020/11/04

In today's episode I'm discussing what to eat during labour. This is probably one of the most neglected areas when it comes to nutrition in motherhood! Back when I was pregnant with my son, my doula and hypnobirthing teacher taught me her Chewing Timeline - what to eat in each phase of labour. I've taught it on courses and to my clients ever since. It wasn't something they'd considered before and it was a lightbulb moment for them - just like it was for me! So that's what I'm sharing this week. In

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2020/09/30

This week I talk to Anna Le Grange, the Mindful Breastfeeding Coach, about breastfeeding. Although I talk about mindfulness a bit, I’d never really thought about connecting it directly to breastfeeding until I came across Anna, but it makes complete sense! In this episode we discuss: What mindful breastfeeding means and how it can make the difference in the breastfeeding journey. Breastmilk as a living substance and its benefits for mum and baby. The expectation the body has to breastfeed as a

5 Steps to Better Sleep {S2E3}

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2020/09/23

In today’s episode I’m discussing one of the biggest challenges of motherhood: Sleep. Not baby’s sleep, mum’s sleep. Many people expect mums to be tired and exhausted in the early days, but are often rudely surprised by the fact that broken sleep continues for many more years! And as a result many mums accept their lot and resign themselves to the fact that perhaps sleep is just not for them right now. But is that really true? Although our children may be responsible for waking us in the middle

How to Find Time for Yourself (aka Self-Care!) {S1E12}

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2020/07/29

What if we stopped seeing self-care as a special favour to ourselves, but something as necessary as food and sleep? I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the concept of self care. I think the idea behind it is great, but I hate that it puts the onus on us to do some sort of grand gesture for ourselves, when genuinely we barely have time to even just go and have a shower! So in this episode I’m introducing what I call mini me-moments, and I explain why I think they could be the game changer

5 Foods to Prioritise in the First Trimester {S1E9}

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2020/07/08

When I talk to women about nutrition during pregnancy, they can often reel off exactly what they’re not allowed to eat or drink (Alcohol! Brie! Paté!). And it’s true that when you search ‘What to eat during pregnancy?’ you often get long lists of food to avoid. And you might also get articles telling you to ‘eat a healthy, balanced diet’. But is there anything specific you should be eating at different trimesters? It turns out that yes, you can be quite targeted when it comes to focusing on
