Real Talk for Mums Real Talk For Mums

OK let's get real about a few things...women have been lied to for A LONG time.
"Do more cardio".
"Eat less and count calories".
"Lift light weights with more reps".
If you're striving for that toned, defined, lean look and haven't been getting anywhere, this episode is for you.

We go into what a Prolapse is and whether it's really as scary as society makes out.

I go into detail about my pessary experience and what I tried instead.

My fear of doing anything after being told things like - 'Don't do wide stance squats".

Why fear mongering isn't helpful and what you can do instead if you have pelvic floor dysfunction such as a prolapse.

I discuss olympic lifts positions such as Hips thrusts and how to make tweaks to ensure you get the most from your training without leaking or causing more injury.

Why the Feeling of bulging after an intense workout may not actually be an issue.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms discussed in this episode and/or the below, please see a Pelvic floor Physiotherapist.
Are persistently constipated, despite treatment
Feel discomfort from the bulge of tissue
Experience rectal pressure or fullness after bowel movements
Find intercourse painful

Anger is just like every other emotion but it's not OK for us to express anger in society.



We must be happy, positive and upbeat so as not to make others feel awkward or upset. But as mums have a lot to juggle and sometimes we just want to scream. This episode is about normalising the 'normal' and I share one of my 'rage' experiences.



Mum rage is a real condition we often mistake for just anger, and is a result of extreme burnout and lack of self-care. 



Next episode goes into detail on what to do to prevent burnout from happening - Episode 3 - Avoid Burnout. Don't miss out on this one and bring your notepad and pen. Make sure to follow the podcast so you're alerted when episodes are live.

I also want to introduce the 'good enough mother' for those who strive for perfection, like myself as a recovering perfectionist.


For more help around the psychology or mental health of rage, there is an amazing woman called Kate Kripke who actually covers more on this topic in her episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/motherhood-uncut/id1631059177?i=1000639197138
