Show Notes
I can't be the only person who did a baby first aid course during pregnancy - only to forget most of what was taught - due to mum brain! Today the lovely Nicole Gleeson from Rhythm First Aid joins us to talk through the practical first aid tips we need to know - think of it as a ten minute refresher of some of the things you're likely to *actually* use day to day.

More from Mum Brain
I can't quite believe it but this week marks week TEN of Mum Brain - the delulu project I launched just a few weeks after getting made redundant on maternity leave. For today's episode, I'm getting personal - answering questions that you guys have sent me - on everything from babies, life as a tv news reporter, and what on earth I'm doing with my life now. Think of it as a voice note from me to you! This episode also marks the end of season one of the pod - I have some big ideas brewing for next season so I promise I will be back again soon. Thank you SO much for all your support so far xx
The Australian Senate recently passed a motion to establish a "senate select comittee" into women's health, including postpartum care. To find out what this actually means, I speak to the mum behind it all - Senator Marielle Smith. In this episode, Senator Smith shares about her own postpartum struggles - and how they propelled her to push for national change. I'm so grateful that the Senator took time out of her busy Canberra schedule to come on Mum Brain - I hop you enjoy the ep!
Today I'm chatting with wills and estates specialist Ilana Kacev about why it's so crucial that we as parents make wills. As Ilana says in this episode, death is the last thing most of us want to think about when we're in the phase of bringing new life into the world - but it is so, so important that we do. Ilana explains what a will is, the main things they cover, and why she advises against 'diy' will kits.
This week I'm joined by pelvic health physiotherapist Rosie Purdue of Hatched House to talk all things pelvic floor - and ask the questions we all want to know. How often do we ACTUALLY need to do our exercises - and how often do mums neglect to do their pelvic floor 'homework'? You can follow Rosie at rosie.physio.founder and @hatched.house
Today I'm speaking with the incredible perinatal and reproductive psychiatrist Dr Edna Lekgabe about all things matrescence. Edna speaks beautifully about the huge hormonal shift and 'developmental earthquake' that we go through as women when we transition into mothers. I personally found this conversation very validating and I hope you do too.
