Steph & Gian Ottavio on life after The Block, birth trauma, IVF & finding purpose

from Parenthood

This week I sit down with Steph & Gian, winner of The Block season 9 to chat all things life after the block and their journey in becoming parents. We delve into The Block post show blues, losing our sense of purpose and identity, mental health issues when everything is seemingly ok on the outside. We discuss their journey to falling pregnant, endometriosis, genetic testing and a traumatic life threatening birth and so much more.A big thank you to our episode sponsors Lacevo and Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense. LacevoInstagram: @lacevoofficialWebsite: lacevo.com Baby Sensory and Toddler SenseInstagram: @babysensorytoddlersenseaunzWebsite: babysensory.com.au InstagramFollow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpodFollow Steph on Instagram @stephjoottavioFollow Steph & Gian on Instagram @stephandgian ShareWe’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend! Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community.
