This week's guest on Raising Healthy Mothers is someone who exudes enthusiasm and excitement for her passion - gardening. And not just for the aesthetic beauty that having a joyful garden brings but for the mindful, thoughtful activity of being out in nature, being in the moment with the job that you're doing, and tending to the garden in the way that we have been connecting with nature throughout our history as a species. Kendall Platt is the Mindful Gardening Coach and she helps women take time

Today I'm tackling a common question that comes up every time I run a breastfeeding course. It's usually something like this: 'when can I start expressing so my partner can take over some of the feeds and bond with the baby too?' I find this a difficult question because two questions come up for me in return: Why does your partner feel like feeding them is the only way to bond with them? Is it really going to be a break for YOU to express? There are so many ways a partner can bond with a new

2023/10/24

I recently ran a poll asking mums what their biggest worry was about breastfeeding for a second time. The unanimous response was around managing tiredness and exhaustion of breastfeeding while caring for an older child as well. I totally get it. The first time round it hits you like a tonne of bricks - how dependent this tiny creature is on you - and how they don't seem to have a clue when is the appropriate time to sleep. There is no other way to describe it. It's exhausting. But second time round

When was the last time you stood up and just...walked out of a room. Without looking back to check everyone's OK? Without making sure the kids were safe, had what they needed, weren't going to ask for something the minute you'd got comfy on the loo? During my conversation with Kate on this week's episode I realises how easy it is to feel trapped and suffocated in motherhood. And yet, how we can also take the opportunity to change our focus, become someone different, embrace the new strengths and let

This episode has been a long time coming. This month marks 5 years since I started specialising in motherhood. And this episode is the culmination of everything I've learned so far in the journey. When I started out I focused mainly on nutrition and diet. But while the information I had about a healthy pregnancy, postpartum recovery and replenished motherhood was sound and had the potential to be life-changing, the actual reality of making those changes was much harder. I've found it hard, and so

Coffee in motherhood. Probably the one thing many mums can agree as being totally essential to get through those exhausting broken nights. I know people who didn't drink coffee before having children but started after their first child. Motherhood is tiring and all-consuming and often the ritual of making a coffee and taking that first sip is a glorious moment to just be. So this week I invited Laura and Gemma of Tired Mums Coffee on to the podcast to talk all things coffee. As mums of young

I am doing something a little bit different today, something I've never done before but always thought of doing here on the podcast. I've bene running my Self-care Challenge and one of the best feedback I've had so far is fromthe Mindful Tea Break guided meditation I recorded for them. And because it had such a great reception, I decided to share it here on the podcast.

Occasionally I invite someone onto the podcast that speaks to my soul. This week's interview is one of those – my conversation with Lisa Mabberley of Morther, Nurture and Wild ended up being a heart-to-heart that made me feel really seen and heard. In our discussion I realised why it is we miss out so much when we don't have a tribe around us. As a mother of tweens, she's much further along her motherhood journey with me, and in her I heard the wisdom that experience brings as well as the comfort in

If you've listened to my podcast for any length of time you'll know that I talk about taking time out, taking things easy and taking things slow as a mother. But in order to do this we have to navigate feelings of guilt, lack of time, energy and headspace to do what seems such an obvious and simple thing. There are so many metaphors out there - you can't pour from an empty cup. Put your own oxygen mask on first. Recharge yourself regularly like you do your phone. Fill your petrol tank before you

Being inside without your own personal outdoor space is really hard when you have energetic kids who love being outdoors, who need plenty of physical activity on a daily basis (as we all do!) and who are naturally inquisitive and fascinated by the natural world. As my children have grown older I have become more and more aware of how important getting outside for exercise is, and while everyone benefits from doing it every day, it can be really hard to motivate yourself. So in this week's episode

So in this episode I've diving into body positivity over summer. I'm discussing...

This week on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm tackling a topic that came top when I ran a poll on what's holding you back from making health changes: Snacking and cravings. Why do we have them? Why is it so hard to resist? Is there anything we can do to make better choices? "We often beat ourselves up about our lack of willpower - we assume there's something within us - a moral failing that means we can't resist a particular food. We are so hard on ourselves. And I'm here to tell you that you cannot

You're exhausted. You're struggling with your mental health. You get cramps and find yourself going to the toilet 5 times a day, making you anxious about leaving the house. You know your diet is crap, you drink too much caffeine, you don't eat enough fruit and veg, and your sleep is non-existant. You've heard that good health comes frmo the gut so you wonder whether taking a probiotic supplement can help get your health back on track.

I was a very fussy eater as a child. It's one of those family truisms. They still laugh about it now. I don't; I feel for little me who found it so very hard to eat everything people wanted me to. Now as a nutritional therapist, natural chef and all-round food lover, I am well and truly out of that phase. There's very little I won't eat and I love cooking for people. And I also happen to have a fussy toddler - despite doing what I thought was all the right things from the very start. So I know

Despite it being my no. 1 piece of advice for clients to (a) stick to their goals (b) save money and (c) avoid having to use willpower to stop eating junk. While it's true that meal planning can do all of those things, I'm also a very creative cook, and it's genuinely one of my most favourite things to do. Plus meal plannings felt boring, limiting and time consuming. But I knew I was spending way more on food than I should, I was
