Baby Brain Podcast Hannah Hellyer & Emma Mytka

In this epidemic of loneliness so many of us are experiencing feelings of isolation, especially after having children. In this week’s episode we chat about what a women’s circle is, and why these are such an amazing way to form and nurture connections between other women within your community. 

We are chatting with Rachael Rose, a Doula and women’s circle facilitator. Rachael is a mother and community maker who lives on the South Coast of NSW. She facilitates women's circles, is the founder of Together, her circle facilitator training, and mentors other mothers in business.

Rachael helps women reclaim their stories, feel more powerful and give less fucks about being perfect! Her teaching style is humorous, engaging, compassionate, and a little sweary (our kind of gal). As a mother of two home-schooled children, Rachael has grown her heart-centered business alongside her family.

In this week’s episode we’re having an incredibly important conversation with Vanessa Hamilton on how we discuss sex, sexuality, respect and consent with our children. 

We talk about why it is important to have age appropriate conversations and to start them much earlier than most parents realise. We also chat about how to approach these talks even if you may be feeling uncomfortable about it, and how informing our children about sex, consent and pleasure in an age appropriate way can help them develop healthy relationships later in life with themselves and others. 

**Content warning** In this episode we discuss topics that aren’t appropriate for little ears. We also raise some statistics and conversations around children and abuse that may be upsetting for some people, so please skip this episode if you aren’t feeling up to it. 

Vanessa Hamilton is a renowned sexuality, respect and consent educator. She is the founder of  education business; Talking The Talk Healthy Sexuality Education. She is a highly regarded author, speaker, writer and educator. Vanessa educates, supports and champions, teachers & parents as the main sources of information on this content.  With more than  25 years experience as a sexual health nurse and 18 years as an educator, mother of three teens,  she has had tens of thousands of conversations about sex and sexuality.

WTAF!? Controversial topics in bite sized portions. When you only have time for a quick fix, but you’re wanting something spicy!

In this week’s episode of WTAF we’re talking about the pressures on women to have kids, especially in our age bracket. We’ve noticed this so much amongst our family and friends and wanted to talk about why we think it’s so important to let women make their own decisions about what they want their family unit to look like. 

We also chat about recent stats published by She’s on the money podcast, about the financial impact having children has on women, and how DINKS (dual income no kids) are on the rise.

Tune in for all the spicy goss! And once you’ve listened, let us know what you think!
