2025/04/07

The first few months after Noah was born were a complete blur. Post natal blues consumed me… and they robbed me of the joy I hoped I would feel becoming a new mum. So just before my second Leo was born I participated in a little experiment. A Nine podcast called Come To Therapy With Me.

The Baby Playbook ·

2025/03/10

Trust me when I say, a baby can get expensive. From clothes, food, bottles, nappies, toys, furniture, dumb gimmick onesies... you’ll be buying things left, right and centre for this tiny human.
