From Pelvic Floors to Parenthood: Navigating Illnesses, Self-Care, and Contradictions

from The Mum I Met On Mat Leave · host Emma and Gabi

In this episode, we’re tackling all the messy, real stuff no one warned you about when you signed up for motherhood. From the joys of pelvic floor recovery (seriously, why didn’t anyone mention that?) to the lovely post-birth menstrual surprises, we’re covering it all and don’t worry, we’ll also throw in some music and dance talk because, let’s face it, it’s the only thing keeping us sane these days.We’re chatting about the not-so-glamorous weight loss journey (spoiler alert: it’s not all smoothies and self-care), and how your parenting choices somehow end up shaping your kid’s food habits (we’re all just winging it here, right?). Plus, in our Question of the Week, we’ll dig into the delightful contradictions of parenting—because who doesn’t love thinking one thing and doing the complete opposite? Grab your coffee (or wine, we won’t judge) and join us for a laugh, some real talk, and a reminder that, yes, we’re all in this chaotic journey together.
