Raising Healthy Mothers is a podcast for mothers, whether you're pregnant, just given birth, or are two years postpartum. If you’re looking for a natural, calm, healthy start to motherhood and you’re after some inspiration to help you get started, then you’re in the right place.

I believe the first 1000 days of motherhood - from conception to 2 years postpartum - is vitally important to get right from a health point of view. But it's so easy to get overwhelmed! This podcast is about feeling supported and crafting your very own village so you can embrace motherhood with confidence and joy.

Each week I focus on a topic that I think is important for a mothers’ health and wellbeing, and I’ll be bringing guest experts on to talk about how they support new mothers.

    {11.1} 5 Reasons You Need to Stop Counting Calories

    Welcome to season 11 of Raising Healthy Mothers!
     
    This episode was recorded on Monday 6 May, which was International No Diet Day, and I wanted to mark the day by telling you exactly why I NEVER tell my clients to count their calories.
     
    In this episode I lay out 5 reasons I stopped counting calories, and what I tell my clients to focus on instead, even if weight loss is their goal.
     
    I reveal the 2 biggest factors in your difficulty to lose weight, neither of which have anything to do with what you put in your mouth.

    {MMHA Special} Day 3: Self-Care Strategies

    Welcome to my special series Rediscovering You, a 7-day special running in conjunction with Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week 2024.
    Today on Day 3 we are diving into self-care. This is such a tricky concept for so many of us, and I think one of the biggest problems is we lose sight of what self-care truly means to us. So in this episode I offer an interpretation of what self-care could mean to you, and give you an opportunity to decide what, how and when you will schedule in your self-care activity.

Rumplevegas ,

Great info

I love this very varied podcast sharing lots of interesting topics to help mothers reflect upon improving their wellbeing

There were periods when my children were small when reading a book (or even maybe an article or blog!) would’ve been beyond me because I was so tired - I find Podcasts an excellent way to absorb information whilst going about other daily tasks.

Tasha is kind and knowledgeable

jojomurch ,

So insightful, I feel so understood!

I’ve just listened to Tasha’s podcast about tracking your cycle and it’s so insightful. Lots of bite-size tips that don’t seem overwhelming and lots of lightbulb moments for me to follow up on. Thanks so much, looking forward to more!

Caroline Donoghue ,

Great podcast

Definitely worth listening if you are a mum or mum to be! Lots of valuable information.
