The podcast all about rediscovering identity after having a baby. Did you know that when a flamingo has chicks, she gives so much of herself that she loses her pink colour? Eventually, it does come back, but it takes a while. Like a mumma flamingo, I feel like I have also lost my pink. Come with me as I attempt to get my pink back by speaking to some very interesting and inspiring people with big ideas. If you, too, feel a little lost postpartum, this is the podcast for you. Brought to you by writer, mum-of-two, and Big Little Wins founder, Cassie Arrowgros.

    6. Postnatal depression, schoolyard isolation, and championing neurodiversity with Kiera Hopkins

    CW: this episode contains discussions of postnatal depression, suicide, and drug use. In this episode, I am joined by mum-of-2 Kiera Hopkins. Kiera always dreamed of being a mum. After meeting her soulmate at 16, she always knew the goal was to settle down and have a family of her own. Then, her first baby came along when she was 24 - and things were amazing. Motherhood was everything Kiera expected. That was, until she fell pregnant with her second child, and things started to feel off. All the good feelings Kiera had with her first baby were nowhere to be seen. It wasn't until her husband sat her down, nearly a year later, that Kiera realised just how bad things had become. In this episode, we cover: postnatal depressionwhat it feels like when you've got the 'biter'when your child is diagnosed with ADHD, what next?finding identity after all of itThis one is a little heavy, but oh, so important. Listen with care, but do listen. You can follow Kiera's Instagram here. And, if you're struggling remember there's always help. In Australia, immediate support for postnatal depression is available through PANDA (1300 726 306), Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), and Lifeline (13 11 14). Use them - you deserve to feel happy. All my love. x

    4. Feeding the soul with Sonya Gellert

    The day has come, people. We've got a celeb on the pod (and she's got the blue tick to prove it). In this episode, I am joined by food writer and deep thinker Sonya Gellert. Before becoming a mum, Sonya travelled the world reviewing some of the fanciest hotels and restaurants you could ever imagine. She's worked for Escape Magazine, Vogue Living, Taste, and Delicious (just to name a few). So, when her first baby came 2 months early, Sonya's life was turned upside down in the most jarring way imaginable. Motherhood wasn't what she expected, at all. 6 years down the track, Sonya has reclaimed her pink and along the way has learnt some really cool stuff. Some of which she is kind enough to share with me. In this episode, we cover: what happens when your baby is prematuresleep woeshow some children are more challenging than othersmaking time for joyPlus, we chat about how the hell Sonya has just finished writing her first novel: "I started with 20 words and now there's 86000". This one is a ripper. Enjoy! x
