Mothers talking podcast

Natalie and Jenna are back in this special episode of Mothers talking.  This time having a peek inside Natalie's wonderful book, How to Have a Baby. 
So where do you start when preparing for birth?  You begin at the beginning...
 

In this informative and empowering episode of mothers talking, mum of three, Laura Whitby chats to Jenna about the journey she took in her third pregnancy with her second VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) and guides us through her process to a healing and positive experience.

In this insightful episode of Mothers talking, Jenna talks to Lara Vasconcelos, mother of soon to be three and fellow doula, about her journey with her second baby who in her words, was 'stubbornly breech' throughout her pregnancy.
Hearing your baby is breech can bring up all kinds of questions and emotions in pregnancy and navigating the maternity system can be even more challenging.  Listen to Lara's story to gain valuable insight into how she handled this.

In this powerful episode of Mothers talking, Natalie chats to not one but two lovely mum guests, Laura Hubbard and Lonne Cannon Brookes, about their birth experiences and how they trusted themselves over and above anything else.
Laura trusted her body and her baby even when the maternity system told her not to, 'we weren't two people, it was all me' and Lonne fought for what she believed in, 'I was the last man standing.'  
 

Natalie and Jenna are back with a conversation about friendship.  What does friendship mean to us?  What makes a good friend?  How do friendships change as you become a Mum?  Join us in this honest chat about our friendship selves.

In this deep dive conversation, Natalie chats to our first ever mum guest, Pippa Nixon.  Mother of soon to be three and actress, Pippa shares her journey through birth using her voice as a powerful tool.
'Your authentic self is being 'on your voice', you cannot lie from that place.'
A fascinating conversation where sound in birth takes centre stage.

In our tenth episode, Jenna goes it alone while Natalie is at a birth and talks about the monotony of motherhood, the mental load we carry and shares how meditation is supporting her through this with a soothing relaxation for you to enjoy at the end.

Our conversation around child development concludes in this episode. With so much pressure on mothers these days to be everything for their children, Natalie and Jenna explore how children grow up and what our role is as mothers while they do this.  

Our eighth episode and the second half of our down to birth chat leads us into looking at ourselves as mothers.  We continue to explore the idea of child development and what it means to us.  We reflect on how we mothered first time around to now and we come to realise what it is our babies actually need...

In honour of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, Jenna begins to share her journey with her son, Jude.  This conversation began exploring the theme of child development but in true mothers talking style, it takes on a life of it's own.
Please be aware that we discuss some emotional and sensitive topics in this episode including termination.
