Mums F**king Matter with Lucy Wylde is a weekly podcast aimed at helping Mums to feel more seen and validated in their experiences of motherhood and matrescence.

As a self-advocacy and body literacy coach, burlesque teacher, yoga instructor, perinatal exercise specialist and Mum, Lucy shares her experience, passion and gentle activism for creating greater ease, pleasure and joy in body and mind, to help you adjust to one of life’s biggest transitions; Matrescence.

She now combines her work in sport with her role as Mum, author of her first book and growing her coaching business.

In her coaching she supports women as they experience this rite of passage, supporting them navigate the identity shifts, unmet expectations and highs and lows of motherhood, guiding them on their journey so that can be their true selves as well as the mum they want to be.

    S2 #26 Etiquette; For Dog Owners

    I wanted to share a bit about what I've learned a lot as a dog owner/co-parent. And I think we should be taught more about dogs, as we come across them every day. — Much like learning about and being respectful of different people and the various needs and temperaments we come across. (Or maybe taking no notice if they're just nasty and have no desire to change of course!) In this episode I speak about: what I've learned as a dog 'co-parent'/ownernot taking on unsolicited blame/advicehow people could help one another and their dogs a bit more Themes: dog behaviour, pet ownership, wellbeing, parenting I mention my boyfriend Roly, Mark Groves and Glamour Woof Pet Services.
