    When Parenthood Takes the Scenic Route

    In this episode, Alex chats with Karen Deulofeu about the often-unspoken reality of the path to parenthood. For many families, the journey to having a baby doesn't follow the timeline they expected. Karen shares her personal experience alongside her professional expertise as a Fertility, Pregnancy & Postnatal Coach, offering insight, reassurance and practical support for those navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy after loss, IVF, and the emotional rollercoaster that can accompany trying to grow a family. Together, Alex and Karen discuss the importance of finding the right support, managing expectations, and caring for yourself through every stage of the journey. This is an honest, compassionate conversation for anyone whose route to parenthood has taken a few unexpected twists and turns. Because sometimes it's about more than having a baby – it's about finding your way back to yourself.

    Tappy Chat Ep 12. The Newborn Phase: What Do You Actually Need?

    In this episode of Tappy Chat, I’m joined by Martha from The Baby Brain — babywearing expert, newborn guru and all-round lifesaver for many new parents. Preparing for a new baby can feel overwhelming enough without trying to navigate the endless world of slings, prams, cots, car seats and the mountain of well-meaning hand-me-down advice from friends and family. Martha helps break down what parents actually need, what’s worth investing in and how to make choices that work for your lifestyle, your baby and your sanity. We chat about babywearing, common misconceptions around newborn essentials and why confidence and support can be just as important as the products themselves. Whether you’re expecting your first baby, deep in the newborn fog or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with reassuring advice, practical tips and honest conversation.

    Tappy Chat Ep 10 - From Nursery Rhymes to Lifelines - The Hidden Power of Baby Classes

    What do nursery rhymes, sleep-deprived parents, and a guitar have in common? More than you think. In this beautifully honest and heart-filled episode of Tappy Chat, Miss Alex sits down with Cat Bateman, the force behind Little Folk Nursery Rhymes — a business that began almost by accident and has grown into a lifeline for families across South East London.From running music television to leading community singalong sessions with babies and toddlers, Cat shares the real story behind her journey. The doubts, the imposter syndrome, the leap into the unknown… and the moment it all clicked. But this conversation goes deeper than just music. It’s about: The real experience of early parenthood. Why no one actually knows what they’re doing (and why that’s okay). The hidden power of nursery rhymes in child development. The magic of community… especially when you need it most. Why sometimes, the most meaningful moments come from the simplest songs. There are laughs, there are raw truths, and there are moments that will genuinely stop you in your tracks. All because what looks like “just a little class”… can actually change someone’s entire day. Or even give them a memory they’ll never forget. Whether you’re in the thick of parenting, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the power of connection, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone… and you’re probably doing better than you think. So take a few minutes, put the kettle on and come join the conversation.
