    EP 37: OMM LABEL Owner Ophelie: All Things Breastfeeding, Her Clothes That Are 'The Breast', Starting Her Business, The Juggle That Is Motherhood & More!

    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.  Enjoy mummas and pappas x x Support the show Follow us @pumpedpoddy or connect with us here Leave a review & listen here or a star rating on Spotify here Join our Pumped Facebook community here Stay PUMPED mummas and pappas Love Hays and Soph xxx

    EP 34: Confetti Rebels Director Amy Clarke talks all things 'Life/Child Balance', Postnatal Depression & the idea of 'Success'

    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.  Visit rachaelrose.com.au/together and join the self paced training for $50 off, by entering PUMPED at checkout.

    EP 33: Active Truth Co-Founder Nadia Tucker talks all things Motherhood, Big Boobies, Cancer, The idea of 'Success' As a Modern Mother & Business Owner & More

    Today we welcome our incredible Sponsor and one of the co-founders of Active Truth. We are such HUGE fans of this company and have both lived in the maternity tights before and after birth. So, we are humbled to chat to Nadia Tucker, who moved to Brisbane on the same day in 2011 and as new her neighbor Stevie (sounds like destiny) and they quickly became friends over baby playdates and long pram walks in search of coffee. Together, they navigated returning to exercise after having their babies and the many changes that their bodies experienced over this time. They were frustrated with buying activewear online and receiving products that looked beautiful on models but didn’t perform in real-life on bodies without model proportions, so they decided to take matters into their own hands. This was a common theme when talking with friends and family. So, they set out to create a brand that not only serviced the activewear needs of women, but celebrated them too! Active Truth is committed to showing a diverse range of women wearing their activewear. They want women to look at Active Truth and see someone like themselves – happy, active, looking and feeling amazing in their activewear. They refuse to photoshop their models and continue to challenge stereotypes and bias around body image which we love. Active Truth are proud to work with organisations that support women through their partnerships with Share the Dignity, Body Image Movement, and a number of smaller female-led, or female-focused, charities. We talk about: Pumping and BIG boobiesStarting the business  in the living room and sleeping in swags etc.How the 4th Trimester was for Nadia and the challenges that she overcameHow far the business has come and her fave pair of tightsWhat the idea of 'success' means to Nadia and a Businesswoman and MotherThe power of word of mouth and reviews and Mothers sharing the loveThe Most beautiful and Challenging aspects of MotherhoodAdvice to any parent starting a businessMotherhood in 3 words and MORE!This episode is brought to you by Active Truth who Soph and I absolutely LOVE. Please go and check them out @activetruthmaternity and @activetruth for the most comfortable Active Wear you will EVER need.  Lots of love Mummas and Pappas xx Support the show Follow us @pumpedpoddy or connect with us here Leave a review & listen here or a star rating on Spotify here Join our Pumped Facebook community here Stay PUMPED mummas and pappas Love Hays and Soph xxx
