    Having a 2nd bub after post-natal depression - with Mathew Carter

    Mathew Carter hosts the podcast ‘The Secret Life of Dads’ alongside his co-host Lawrence. Earlier this year, they launched their event ‘Pints & Ponytails’ where they invite dads to pubs to learn how to style female hairstyles so they can do their daughters’ hair.  Mathew is dad to five-year-old daughter Rae and he & his wife Chessie King is expecting their second bub. We’ve had Chessie on the podcast before and we were so excited to have Mathew on too! In this episode, Steph chats with Mathew about his experience with postpartum depression after Rae was born, how he’s feeling mentally ahead of baby number two, going through IVF, and the feedback he’s getting from dads who attend their Pints & Ponytails events. Trigger warning: we briefly touch on suicide in this episode. If that brings up anything for you, Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.

    What no one says out loud about being a step parent step-parent - with Kris Byrnes

    Kris Byrnes became a step-parent when she was 24, before she’d had children of her own. Now Kris & her husband are raising 4 children together - two from her husband’s previous relationship and two of their own.  Kris has taken everything she has learned from step-parents and now offers coaching to others who are navigating blended families.  In all the years of making KICBump, we’ve never dedicated an episode to step-parents, so we were thrilled to cross paths with Kris!  In this episode Steph sits down with Kris to learn more about her experience becoming a step-parent at 24, her & her husband’s decision to have children of their own, and the challenges that Kris encounters in her coaching work - including deciding whether or not step-parenting is for you, parental alienation, what step-parenting does to your romantic relationship, and more. FIND OUT MORE Work with Kris https://thestepparentcoach.com/  Follow Kris on Instagram @stepparentcoach Listen to Kris’ podcast Step Parent Podcast WANT MORE?
