    No Crap Parties - Rethinking Kids’ Party Gifts, Pressure & Plastic with Charlotte Mason-Curl

    Episode 4, Season 3: No Crap Parties - Gifting Culture and Plastic Consumption with Charlotte Mason-Curl Kids’ parties are meant to be fun… so why do so many of us feel guilty, awkward, out of pocket and drowning in plastic afterwards? In this episode, I’m joined by Charlotte Mason-Curl, founder of No Crap Parties and the Kids Party Pact - a movement helping parents ditch the waste, pressure and consumerism that has quietly crept into children’s parties and gifting culture. Charlotte shares how she realised most parents hate plastic-filled party bags and gift pressure, and how she’s now using her marketing skills for the greater good - helping families make parties more affordable, more sustainable and far less stressful. Together, we explore: 🎈 What’s gone wrong with kids’ gifting culture From post-Christmas overwhelm to financial strain, clutter, social anxiety and the subtle ways consumerism shapes our children’s values. 🎁 How to do kids’ parties differently Charlotte walks us through the Kids Party Pact, including: Clear gift guidanceAlternatives to party bagsNormalising second-hand and conscious gifting Plus lots of practical, doable ideas that won’t make you “that parent”.🧠 How to get others on board Behavioural-science-backed tips for navigating resistance without offending (especially grandparents 🙈), plus smart ways to set boundaries and share wish lists that actually work. This conversation is empowering, realistic and deeply relieving if you’ve ever thought “surely it doesn’t have to be like this?” If you’re raising children and want to reduce waste, pressure and over-spending - without sucking the joy out of celebrations - this episode is a must-listen.

    The 3 Most Powerful Unlearnings for Mothers (Lessons from the Pod in 2025)

    Episode 3, Season 3: The 3 Most Powerful Unlearnings for Mothers (Lessons from the Pod in 2025) Welcome to a very special episode of Unlearning with Laura. As the podcast turns one, I wanted to pause and reflect. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of holding space for so many powerful conversations with expert guests, and certain themes have come up again and again. In this solo episode, I’m sharing three of the most powerful “unlearnings” for mothers that have emerged from the podcast in 2025 - lessons that invite awareness, compassion and a deeper understanding of how much our subconscious, nervous system and conditioning shape our parenting and our lives. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why school avoidance is not “bad behaviour” What I learned from my conversation with Jodie Jones about school anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and why neurodivergent children struggle in rigid, outdated education systems. ✨ How self-sabotage runs beneath the surface Insights from my episode with Becky Stanton on procrastination, perfectionism, self-worth and why your subconscious and energetics are always running the show - whether you’re parenting, building a business, or both. ✨ Raising children in a tech-heavy world Reflections from my conversation with Jade Gooding on values-led living and why the conversation around tweens, teens and smartphones has never been more urgent - including current UK discussions around social media bans for under-16s. 🎁 Podcast Birthday Giveaway At the end of this episode, I’m announcing a very special giveaway to celebrate one year of Unlearning with Laura - including a Power Hour HypnoCoaching session, my Bedtime Bliss bundle, and my Morning Mastery Toolkit. Make sure you listen right to the end to find out how to enter. FYI - these science backed bundles were created with so much love and have helped numerous mums in getting their kids to settle with ease and to enjoy their mornings again! 🤍 New Brand Partnership This episode also marks the beginning of a new brand partnership with KARRI - a screen-free voice messaging device for children. If you’re navigating the smartphone conversation with your child, keep an ear out for more details (and a listener discount coming soon).

    Understanding & Releasing Resentment: for Under-Appreciated Mums

    Episode 2, Season 3: The Epidemic that is Motherhood Resentment Resentment in motherhood doesn’t appear overnight - it builds quietly, day after day, as the mental load piles up and your needs slip further down the list. In this solo episode, I’m exploring the very real, very common resentment so many mums feel toward their partners, co-parents, workplaces, or even the systems around them - and why it can feel like a slow erosion of feeling seen, valued and supported. If you’ve ever thought “my life has changed, but theirs hasn’t”, or felt like you’re carrying everything while silently seething… this one is for you. In this episode, we explore how to: 🌿 Understand where resentment really comes from 🧠 Make sense of the invisible mental load and subconscious roles mums carry 💬 Shift out of silent frustration and passive-aggressive patterns 🧘‍♀️ Reconnect with yourself when exhaustion, overwhelm and burnout are creeping in 💛 Begin releasing resentment without guilt - and without blowing everything up (check my previous hypnosis episode for this - my most popular episode of this podcast so far!) This episode is an invitation to stop minimising your experience, stop carrying it all alone, and start honouring your needs again - because resentment isn’t a personal failure, it’s a signal.

    Laetitia Felix on Reclaiming Trust in Your Body: Fertility, Loss & Birth Trauma Healing

    Episode 1, Season 3: Fertility, Pregnancy Loss & Birth Trauma with Laetitia Felix This week, I’m joined by my friend, the brilliant Laetitia Felix - a Fertility & Pregnancy Loss Coach and Mind-Body Practitioner who supports women through unexplained infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and beyond. Laetitia shares her deeply personal journey to motherhood, having conceived naturally at 40 after a four-year journey through multiple losses. She walks us through her unique approach and how she weaves together mindset, somatic and spiritual practices to support women in regulating their nervous system, releasing inner blocks, and rebuilding trust in their bodies. Together, we explore the emotional and energetic layers of fertility - and why the body’s sense of safety plays such a crucial role in conception, pregnancy and healing. We also talk about: ✨ Healing from pregnancy loss and birth trauma - even years later ✨ Womb healing, ancestral trauma and lineage work ✨ How unresolved trauma can quietly impact everyday life and motherhood ✨ Laetitia’s experience working with baby spirits and this supported her too ✨ Nervous system regulation, embodiment and emotional release As someone who has personally experienced Laetitia’s work (her EFT sessions were truly incredible), I can wholeheartedly vouch for her expertise, compassion and intuitive healing abilities. Laetitia also shares details of her EFT and Angelic Reiki bundles - beautiful offerings for anyone wanting support to process pregnancy loss, birth trauma, or emotional healing. 🎧 This is a gentle, expansive and deeply reassuring conversation for any woman navigating fertility challenges, loss, or healing on her journey into motherhood.
