The podcast all about rediscovering identity after having a baby. Did you know that when a flamingo has chicks, she gives so much of herself that she loses her pink colour? Eventually, it does come back, but it takes a while. Like a mumma flamingo, I feel like I have also lost my pink. Come with me as I attempt to get my pink back by speaking to some very interesting and inspiring people with big ideas. If you, too, feel a little lost postpartum, this is the podcast for you.

    29. 'My husband is a professional poker player' with Taylor Murray

    If you're in the mood for a laugh, a story about breaking norms, and want to learn more about the world of poker - this is your ep. This week I welcomed Taylor to the pod. Taylor is a mum of 2 young boys. She's also funny, resilient, open minded, humble, and extremely cool. After having her first son, she was made redundant which forced her down a path that she'd never considered before. After watching her husband pursue his dream career in the poker world, Taylor felt empowered to explore what else life could offer (and maybe embrace a bit of the poker world as well). This is a story of resetting your expectations, finding joy, and embracing whatever life's got to give you. Oh, and did I mention she's just come back from a SOLO TRIP TO LAS VEGAS? Taylor really is the kinda mum that reminds us all that we don't need to lose ourselves in the pursuit of parenthood. Loved this one, hope you do too. Enjoy! x

    28. Three births in three different countries with Kelly Matthews

    Oh yes, you read that correctly. Kelly has had three babies in three different countries (and it's every bit as interesting and wild as it sounds) Kelly is a traveller at heart. A lover of adventure and spontaneity. And, unlike many of us after having children, Kelly has never once considered 'settling down'. We discuss what it's like to move countries with a 6 month old, what matrescence looks like when you've taken your babies along for your globe trotting adventures, and, of course, which country is the best to birth in. We also discuss the heartbreak of experiencing multiple miscarriages - as Kelly's had almost too many to count. This ep has it all, but, my god, it's inspiring. If you're feeling like being motivated to shake things up, Kelly is your GIRL! Enjoy x

    27. What it's like to be a young mum with Paige Ferguson

    For many of us, becoming a parent was a choice - or at least something we felt we were "ready" for. But, for 21-year-old dancing and partying Paige, getting pregnant with her relatively new boyfriend was absolutely not on her 2024 bingo card. In this episode I ask Paige what it felt like to become a mother so shortly after becoming an adult, how she navigated being the only one in her friendship group entering this new life stage, whether she felt a sense of FOMO, and the impact of a baby on a new relationship. We also talk about anxiety - and the very real impact PPA had on Paige's first year of motherhood. BTW, I'm sorry the audio on this one isn't great. Once again, I've had some tech issues. Forgive me!! Enjoy x

    26. What happens when your marriage falls apart with Clarissa Pincott

    When I first came up with the concept for this podcast, I wrote down a list of names who I really wanted to interview. These were the people who I felt had the most incredible stories to tell and had performed intentional acts of re-pinking. Clarissa was on the top of my list. When Clarissa's daughter Ivy was under 1, her marriage with her husband, Sam, fell apart. Buckling under the pressure of being the family supporter - and not knowing how to ask for help - Sam left and they broke up. Their love story was all but over. But, after months of therapy - with the goal of becoming successful co-parents - Sam realised what he was losing and decided to make a change. Today, they are back together and stronger than ever thanks to daily work, constant check-ins, the creation of completely new relationship rules, and a lot of love. This story is for anyone who's felt like their relationship has been challenged after having a baby. It's a story of hope and the power of a couple who might not know how to make things work, but are willing to just keep trying. If you have a man in your life struggling with the transition to fatherhood, be sure to encourage them to reach out for help. They can call the PANDA Helpline at 1300 726 306 (Mon–Sat) or MensLine Australia at 1300 789 978 (24/7). Enjoy x

    25. What happens when you reach breaking point with Courtney Royds

    What happens when you reach breaking point in your first year of being a mum? For Courtney, this was the reality after the birth of her son, Ollie. Courtney is the first to admit that prior to becoming a parent, she was a "perfectionist". She also loved her life but was excited for a new chapter in her family. But, like all of us, she didn't truly know what parenting would look like until she was in the thick of it, dealing with her unrelenting expectations of herself and adjusting to the new reality of being a mother at the same time. After pushing through months and months of challenges, Courtney reached breaking point and admitted herself into Catherine's House: a place of support for new mothers. We talk about her entire journey in this ep, including her stay at Catherine's House. It's a biggie. This chat discusses some pretty heavy stuff. If you're not in the space to take it on right now, feel free to give it a miss. If this episode has brought up difficult feelings, please don't struggle in silence - talk to your GP, child health nurse, or someone you trust. You can also contact PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) on 1300 726 306 for free, confidential support for expecting and new parents experiencing anxiety, depression, or emotional challenges. If you're in Queensland and need more specialised support, Catherine's House for Mothers, Babies and Families at Mater in Brisbane provides expert perinatal mental health care, including outpatient programs and, where needed, a mother and baby inpatient unit so parents can receive treatment without being separated from their baby.

    24. What happens when the father of your baby becomes disabled with Alissa El Hawa

    In this episode, I'm joined by Alissa. A few months after the birth of her first baby, Alissa's husband had an accident at work that left him physically disabled. What happened from there tested them on every level. Now, Alissa is expecting her third child (in fact, her third child is now HERE!), and she's joined me to share their story, and how she's found joy and purpose in amongst some of the hardest times of her life. This chat is raw, honest, and vulnerable. Her insights into the reasons she decided to have more children - despite logic saying otherwise - are profound. And, the ways she has found time to re-pink is refreshing. Enjoy x

    23. BONUS EP ALERT! A really big whinge with Niki.

    Surprise! I've got a little bonus ep for your listening pleasure. This ep was part of a bigger one I recorded with Niki about our experiences with matrescence thus far. But, after having the conversation, we decided it needed a bit more thought and refining before hitting the pod. At the start, however, we had a great old time chatting about our wins and whinges. Mostly mine, to be honest. I've got a whopper. It just had to be shared. Enjoy my chaos. x

    22. Full-time working, mum guilt, and defining being a 'good' mum with Rebecca Kele

    Happy Wednesday! This week I am joined by full-time working mumma, Bec. Bec is a mum who loves to work. It's a fundamental part of her identity. But, when she had her daughter, she found herself juggling new tasks, expectations, and guilts - particularly around returning to work. I loved this chat because we got deep. We asked big questions around mum guilt and what even makes a good mum. We talk about whether the same expectations are placed on fathers. We look at why we hold ourselves to such high standards. This chat is a goodie. Enjoy x
