    35: Child Health, Home Birth & Breakups - Q&A Episode

    What if the hardest part of motherhood isn’t the sleepless nights, but holding the line on what you believe in when everyone else thinks you’re crazy?  In this episode, we open up about everything from backyard chickens and reality TV dreams to anxiety meds, vitamin D drops, and spending big on cars and handbags.

    34: Pelvic Floor Facts Most Women Ignore | Allison Germundson

    What if peeing your pants after kids isn’t normal at all, but a sign your body’s asking for help? In this episode, we sit down with Allison, owner of One Strong Woman Therapy and host of the Vaginally Speaking podcast. After her own traumatic birth experiences, she refused to accept that pain, leakage, and dysfunction were “the new normal.” She built a practice that specializes in pelvic floor and lactation services, and she’s on a mission to say out loud what most women have been told to whisper. We get into the myths around kegels, why breathing is the foundation of pelvic floor health, and how trauma, birth, and even childhood bathroom habits shape our bodies today. Allison brings the kind of straight talk that cuts through shame and silence, opening up a conversation every woman deserves to hear.

    33: The Reasons Why You Shouldn't Put Your Baby In Daycare & Public Schools

    Why do we treat it like a problem when babies want to be with their moms all the time? In this episode, we dig into the obsession society has with making babies “independent” before they’re ready. Kate shares what it was like putting her son in daycare as a newborn and how that shaped her view on what’s biologically normal for babies.

    32: How to Start Your Crunchy Journey Without the Overwhelm

    Why do we act like health only counts if we do it all perfectly?  In this episode, we talk about why small simple swaps matter more than an all-or-nothing approach. From filtering water to ditching toxic cookware, we share the simple changes we made first and why they stuck. There’s no need to overhaul your whole house at once. Prioritize the things you use most in order to make a big difference, and save the less-used things for later. We also get into hacks like buying frozen fruit in bulk and how social media can make the journey feel harder than it is. At the end of the day, doing something—anything—is better than staying stuck because it’s not “perfect.” You’ll Learn: Why small swaps matter more than doing everything at onceThe link between seed oils and brain fog after eating certain foodsWhy filtering your water should be one of the very first prioritiesWhat the cheapest and cleanest cleaning products areHow Costco and frozen fruit can slash your grocery bill without losing qualityThe overlooked truth that crunchy living started as “less is more”Why doing something is always better than staying stuck in “all or nothing” mode Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction [10:12] Why small swaps matter more than doing everything at once [11:58] Replacing cookware and household items step by step [13:42] Cheap cleaning swaps that actually work [14:56] Grocery hacks with Costco and frozen fruit [16:42] The dirty dozen and when organic really counts [18:36] Coconut water, bulk buying, and hydration tips [20:27] What we swapped first when our kids were babies [22:06] Water filters, bottled water, and avoiding microplastics [25:14] The mindset shift of doing less and avoiding overwhelm [27:01] Social media pressure, criticism, and comparison Resources Mentioned: The Dirty Dozen | Website Harmless Harvest Coconut Water | Website Tampon Tribe | Website Follow us on Instagram: Kate @thatcrunchymomkate Jordan @themoderncrunchymum Shop my favourite clean products & get 10% off here with code CRUNCHYMOM The air purifier I trust at home - get $100 off here Our go-to for pure, clean water - get $100 off here

After spending nearly 15 years on hormonal birth control and struggling with mood swings, thyroid issues, and hormone imbalances, Carly discovered the fertility awareness methods and completely transformed her health.
