On todays episode I talk with Fiona who is mum to a 16 year old, 11 year old and an almost 9 year old.
Fiona shares how her first birth experience left her disconnected from her baby and set her up for a really challenging feeding journey and first year of motherhood. After multiple pregnancy losses, she went on to have a much more positive birth experience with her second and third.
The journey Fiona went on to find healing for herself and her marriage was so significant, she has since become a specialist councillor in perinatal and trauma, and started her own successful practice where multiple councillors are working to support families.
She talks about her struggle with mental load and how the age gap with her kids actually worked to her advantage.
