Money is a topic that even in 2020 is still considered somewhat taboo and sadly for a lot of female's it's not something they have a great deal of education on.

I sit down with financial planner Kim Hope to discuss all things money; from savings strategies to reducing your mortgage and her techniques to avoid excessive spending in a world where our money is constantly at the touch of our fingertips.

Motherhood comes with a whole lot of ups and downs and sometimes our own transition inspires us to help others with theirs; that's certainly the case for Nikki MCCachon. She talks us through her experience with post partum depression, which she believes was further driven by a lack of community and how it inspired her to create Mama Tribe which has now evolved into the Dear Mama Project - a space to educate and support mothers. We delve into the notion of matrescence and talk openly about how important it is to not only nurture our children during this period, but also ourselves.

When we think about a child with a disability, we automatically assume that it's physical. Something we can visually see and identify; but many times it's not. It's the unseen and unheard disabilities that we tend not to discuss and as a mother trying to navigate this space, it can be very difficult. Kate Nolen has spent four years trying to understand and support her beautiful daughter who has been experienced epilepsy, ADHD and other learning difficulties. She speaks openly about her experience, the challenges, the beautiful moments and how important it is for all mothers to understand that there is sometimes more than meets the eye when it comes to a child's behaviour.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains content relating to high risk pregnancy and birth traumaThis episode is slightly different, the tables are turned on me, your host, in an effort to put my money where my mouth is and share the same level of vulnerability as my guests. In fact, it's the first time i have shared some of the finer details of our pregnancy and birth out loud so excuse the rawness. At 19 weeks pregnant, our whole world was flipped upside down when we found out that our growing baby had a condition called Micrognathia...and there was a risk he would not make it. The journey that followed was one of ups and downs, neverending hospital visits, changing diagnosis's and lots of tears. Fast forward to today and we are blessed to have a thriving 8 month old boy with a condition called Pierre Robin Sequence. Although we've still got a long road ahead, we are one of the lucky ones who gets to navigate it with a beautiful little man in our arms. A big thank you to the lovely @mikhailla for being the interviewer - you can hear more from her in season 1 and 2.
