When things go Tits Up, they're broken. When things are broken, we pull up our 'big girl pants' and we wade through the muck. I've seen more tits than the late Hugh Hefner, but the Tits Up podcast isn't all about boobs and babies. We all have our Tits Up times and we need to laugh, cry rage and be real about these - so we can bust the 'BS' superficial images of perfection that cause so much stress and anxiety to us all. We need positive models to inspire, encourage and lead the way through the hard times, proving the matra: 'This too shall pass'. Please be brave and join me in unfiltered discussions about our own personal Tits Up experiences. Nothing is taboo: the hard stuff, the funny stuff and especially the stuff that mothers feel, but also feel we shouldn't say out loud - lest we be judged. My message is: 'Tits Up ladies, pull up your big girl pants, we can do this, we are mothers'.

My Teen is Trans
This Tits Up episode has come about after I shared some recent research about trans kids on Facebook. The research validated what any parent of a transgender or non-binary child can tell you: “social contagion” doesn’t influence gender identity. Despite a raft of ignorant comments, Lara bravely came on and mentioned that she had a trans kid. This is when I connected with her and invited her to share on Tits Up – as long as she sought her kid’s permission.

Customer Reviews
Educational
Great to hear someone with vast experience cover a wide range of topics. Great information for breastfeeding mothers too of course, as well as health professionals wanting to learn more about breastfeeding, breast milk and lactation. Her attitudes and values resonate with me.
Funny and informative
Just love listening to this podcast whilst pottering around the house with my 6 month old. So informative and funny at the same time. Her parenting values are definitely those that resonate strongly with me.
Days can get a bit long and dare I say.. lonely sometimes, but listening to Pinky is like having your favourite Aunty around for a cuppa 😂
Grateful & seen!
A friend sent me Pinky’s episode on gentle night weaning and about normal it nursing behaviour of babies and toddlers. I am so grateful to have found her podcast at this time. My little one is 10 months old and becoming so independent, she just wants mum ALL night. I have been following her lead but always worried maybe I’m not doing something right. Thank you Pinky for helping to normalise night waking and nursing beyond the newborn phase. From a very tired mumma needing a little extra reassurance ❤️
