Sassy Mama Unfiltered Podcast Sassy Mama

Mama of four, beauty entrepreneur, wife to decorated soccer player Baihakki Khaizan and former actress Norfasarie makes sure her kids know that opportunities are not guaranteed without hard work! In this episode of Sassy Mama Unfiltered she talks about navigating life with kids in the public eye, parenting a tween with a physical disability and how she almost didn't go through with carrying 'surprise' baby #4.

In this episode we chat with mama and entrepreneur Amy Bell (founder of The Meat Club!) about her fertility journey, eventful births and her experience seeking professional help for her maternal mental health.

Do you have a Gen Z teen with an Instagram profile that barely looks active? Hundreds of followers, but maybe only two visible posts at a time? There's a reason for that. In this episode we chat with entrepreneur, social media maven and mama of three Sabina Munshi and get enlightened on teens' social media habits, from quirky engagement tactics to multi-platform presences (Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Telegram etc) and how online gaming is often a form of social media too.

"I'm one of those annoying people that really enjoyed my first pregnancy with my daughter Thea, but this time round I'm just always angry!" Real-life 'Disney princess' and mama influencer Brie Benfell opens up about expecting #2 with a toddler in tow – made tougher thanks to catching Covid-19, and very little outside/family help. She also shares her experience with toxic positivity during the height of the pandemic, how she values all her close relationships so much more now and how she actually came to Singapore not as a trailing spouse. Brie and Syaz also share their labour stories!

Think confinement after giving birth is all faff and no function? So did artist and mama-of-three Gracie Chai, before she felt the literal chill of cold wind that smacked her into abiding by traditional confinement rules and practices! In this episode, Syaz, Gracie and Beate (Managing Editor of Sassy Mama) chat about their confinement and postpartum experiences, including how it's possible without a confinement nanny, why it's important to wear socks and gloves despite the Singapore heat, and how to get your husband to take the reigns on managing your confinement.

In celebration of Earth Day, we chat with Atikah Kamsani, admin of the Cloth Diapering Singapore Facebook group on all things cloth diapering (turns out it’s really not as hard as you think!) and a method called ‘elimination communication’, which is known to start kids on their potty training journey from as young as 18 months old. These eco-friendly diapering methods not only means you’re doing your part to reduce waste and save the environment, but they offer huge cost-saving benefits!
