Today we chat with the wonderful Owner of OMM LABEL Ophelie Mouton. OMM stands for Oh My Mama or Oh, my mama or Oh my…mama! You can read it many ways, but at its core, 'Omm' means “Mother” in Arabic. OMM Label is not your average breastfeeding brand and is like nothing else on the market. This is quality ethical clothing for damn cool mums. We love that their messaging is relatable, and that their mothers are empowered! 
Motherhood is bloody hard enough, so OMM makes getting dressed the easy part. It's all about feeling comfortable to breastfeed wherever, whenever you need and to feel amazing within yourself. OMM’s modern basics are made by mothers for mothers, and designed to be your sidekicks through your breastfeeding journey – and beyond!  OMM donates $1 of every purchase to amazing charities that you get to choose from like The National Breast Cancer Foundation/Women's Community Shelters and more!

We asked Ophi the following questions:
Can you kick us off with a funny Motherhood story for us?So, how was your own 4th trimester with two kids correct? For example, did you pump/What was your feeding journey all about?What propelled you to create OMM The Label- we have mentioned a bit in our intro but we would love to delve deeper with you on this?Your waffle lounge set in green is seriously lush and if I had breastfed for longer than I did due to unforeseen circumstances, I would have lived in that- do you have a fav product that you are most proud of out of everything you have ever created?What does the idea of ‘success’ mean to you and a mum and business ownerWe love your quote- "I believe that motherhood and the achievement of breastfeeding is something to celebrate and be proud of - I hate the idea of mums feeling ashamed or uncomfortable about breastfeeding - but unfortunately it’s a reality for some of us and that NEEDS TO CHANGE!" - can you talk about this?What have been the biggest challenges in the juggle that is Motherhood and running your business? Then, on the flip side, what have been the most beautiful aspects?What do you do for you in all of the chaos? What was the last book you read or podcast that you listened to? What would the you before Motherhood say to the you, in all that you are, now?Three words that sum up where you are at in your Motherhood journey now?This episode was brought to you by our Sponsor OMM LABEL who create cool and comfy breastfeeding uniforms to empower mums to feed their babies anytime and anywhere with confidence.

Today we chat with the delightful Bella Brennan. Bella is a mumma of two little girls - Edie, three, and Tilly, one, and a writer and editor. She is funny and candid in her storytelling and has over a decade of experience in women’s publishing and digital media. She cut her teeth on a slew of mags you probably used to love - from CLEO to SHOP Til You Drop and OK! Magazine. Most recently, she was the Digital Managing Editor at Now To Love, which is the online home to some of Australia’s most loved publications, including The Australian Women’s Weekly and TV WEEK.  Bella is currently the parenting editor at Kiindred, which is an online parenting resource packed to the brim with free expert-backed content which aims to create an inclusive community and help families parent with confidence. 


Bella has been open and honest in her articles, where she unpacks the reality of breastfeeding struggles and returning to work. Honesty is always what we value at Pumped and we couldn’t be more excited than to talk to our first writer/editor on the Podcast. Bella also lost her big brother when her beautiful second baby girl was six weeks old and will unpack with us how she navigated this harrowing time. We deep dive into:


MotherhoodWriting about breastfeeding challengesWriting about going back to workThe idea of 'success' Her favorite all time story. Ever. Written. Check it out @thegriefcaseGrief and loss during the 4th TrimesterAdvice on navigating grief as a new mumBella's travel tips and tricksAnd, so much more!

Girlhood by Maggie Dent was a book recommendation by Bella too as Maggie is her parenting guru.


We also get an update on Soph's current feeding journey. Listen to her breastfeeding episode here for context.

When Amy Clarke had her second baby 5 years ago, she felt so lost. She couldn't go back to her full time office job and after coming out of a Post Natal Depression Fog. She really wanted to create a brand that resonated with her and my fellow female community. This drove her to create Confetti Rebels. It soon became her third baby.  Amy wanted to create apparel that made people feel happy, confident and speak their mind (without speaking their mind verbally). She wanted to create apparel that MEANT something to the person wearing it. Amy makes such an impact to her community supporting dozens of charities as well as making sure her products are ethically made and of the highest standard possible. Amy is such a delight and wonderful person, we are so stoked to be chatting with her today. We talk about: 
Mums having a cheeky vino in Mothers Group in the park How Confetti Rebels came to beThe 4th Trimester and Postnatal DepressionAmy's fav slogan on her tee's. And the idea of "Life/Child Balance"The most rewarding part of the businessSuccess and what it means as a business owner and MotherIntroverts and extrovertsThe most rewarding parts of Amy's businessThe biggest challenges of Motherhood and the most beautiful aspects and SO much  moreThe idea of "going deep or going home" and its not what you think. Get your mind out of the gutter!This episode is brought to you by the incredible Rachael Rose who was a guest on Episode 10. Rach spoke about how lonely she was during her early Motherhood - and this was a catalyst to start running pregnancy and mothers circles, where she basically forces attendees to exchange numbers and start mum-dating. 
Rachael has released an online women's circle facilitator training called Together, where you can learn all about starting up a mothers circle, creating places where mums can connect, talk honestly and feel less alone.
