    The mum who pushed for a national inquiry into postpartum care - and won

    The Australian Senate recently passed a motion to establish a "senate select comittee" into women's health, including postpartum care. To find out what this actually means, I speak to the mum behind it all - Senator Marielle Smith. In this episode, Senator Smith shares about her own postpartum struggles - and how they propelled her to push for national change. I'm so grateful that the Senator took time out of her busy Canberra schedule to come on Mum Brain - I hop you enjoy the ep!

    The one bit of life admin you can't afford to put off - why it's so important to make a will

    Today I'm chatting with wills and estates specialist Ilana Kacev about why it's so crucial that we as parents make wills. As Ilana says in this episode, death is the last thing most of us want to think about when we're in the phase of bringing new life into the world - but it is so, so important that we do. Ilana explains what a will is, the main things they cover, and why she advises against 'diy' will kits.

    What is matrescence? Explaining the word that's all over our algorithms.

    Today I'm speaking with the incredible perinatal and reproductive psychiatrist Dr Edna Lekgabe about all things matrescence. Edna speaks beautifully about the huge hormonal shift and 'developmental earthquake' that we go through as women when we transition into mothers. I personally found this conversation very validating and I hope you do too. Dr Edna Lekgabe is the founder of Warm Health Collective, which provides psychiatrist-led mental health care for women and families . You can follow her on Instagram at @drednalekgabe.
