This Is Heaps | Hair loss, sleep advice from Reddit and surrendering to parenthood
from Growing · host Beth Ryan and Lilly Claxton
Beth stumbled down a Reddit hole - yes, Glimmer Girls, you read that right. Picture this: two babies, breast refusal, broken sleep and all that comes with life with twins at five months. It’s a lot. Beth has done a beautiful job of finding the reframe, reddit aside, because sometimes, when you’re deep in it, that’s all you can do.However… we are also experiencing significant and rapid hair loss. Of course we are. Lil has revisited the toddler trenches she’s been stuck in, with a bit of a lock-in this week. She’s well and truly (and happily) surrendered to being deep in parenthood - with a few little signs that perhaps this is just the season she’s in right now. (Subtext: Ooshie swap IYKYK). REBUILDConsistency for Beth again the rebuild isn’t always dramatic. It’s just continuing to show up for the things that make you feel good.Lil’s getting a Fresh haircut and TBC does and should she just lop it all off. RECIPES + RECOMMENDATIONSPesto chicken in a pitta wrap. An easy little winner that has made its way firmly into Beth’s rotation.Spanakopita meatballs. YUM. That’s all. Love Lil. Air Toobz. A great toy with endless fun, good for the rotation!THE UNDIES UPDATEThank you for your recommendations because, honestly, this is the kind of important investigative journalism we are here for. The Glimmer Girls have spoken and Boody was the clear winner, with Nat’V Nala and Jaymes also getting plenty of love.Come join the conversation over on Instagram @growingthepodcast and tell us what you’re rebuilding, what you’re eating and what you’re currently trying to keep alive including but not limited to children, herbs and hair.
