My guest this week is Michelle Flynn from An Croi Beag (Instagram @ancroibeag). Michelle is a psychotherapist with a particular interest in working with perinatal mental health, postnatal depression, traumatic births and anxiety. 

Michelle has extensive experience working with parents on all aspects of parenthood and relationships and supports clients in moving through the internal and external challenges they are facing.

Michelle spoke to me about her work and her practice, her life as a mother to three young children ages 5, 4 and 3, and how important it is to take even one minute a day to check in with ourselves. I really hope you enjoy the episode today.

My guest this week is Karen Prunty. Karen is a neonatal nurse and the founder of ‘Little Roo’ (Instagram @little_roo_village).

Little Roo is a parent and baby hub that connects, supports and empowers parents and babies. They run a large range of classes all from the one location in Blackrock in Dublin, classes like baby sensory, baby massage, breastfeeding clinics, and pregnancy Pilates.

Karen spoke to me about a frightening first delivery, how she has learned that you don’t have to sacrifice yourself to be a mother and a very funny story of her most memorable motherhood moment.

 I really hope you enjoy.

My guest this week is Julie Ledwidge (Instagram @julie_ledwidge).

Julie is a mother to max, and at the time of recording this episode was only a matter of weeks away from her due date with baby number 2.

Since then, Julie has gone on to welcome her daughter Georgina. I have loved following Julie on Instagram but especially over Christmas seeing her and her gorgeous family enjoying life as a family of four has been beautiful to watch.

We chatted about hyperemesis, the constant worry of motherhood, and how the best and hardest parts of motherhood, are often the same thing.

I really hope you enjoy the episode today.
