Introducing our new podcast, Restart. If you like what you hear, search Restart wherever you get your podcasts...

Two years ago, Madeleine West hit restart on her life. She packed up her life in Melbourne and moved to Byron Bay, split up with her partner of 15 years and the father of her six kids and she started life again. And now she wants to find out why and how women from across the country are restarting their lives. For 10 weeks, Restart will look into why more and more women are pressing refresh on their lives, and how the hell they’ve done it. From divorce to health, to appearance, to career, to sex. Restart, it’s never too late to change everything.

Going from one to two, you think it's going to be easy, right? 

But then it happens and it's not at all what you anticipated.

No one tells you that each pregnancy, each birth and each kid is going to be different.

The second time around for Laura Byrne was a completely different ball game. Laura learnt that Marlie-Mae was an 'easy baby', pregnancy and postpartum was a whole lot harder and that adding another kid isn't double the work, it's triple. 

Holly Wainwright sits down with Laura for a very honest conversation about her very busy year, going from one to two.

This is the final episode of this season of Me After You and we wanted to leave you with a sense of hope. 

We find hope in the comfort of our shared fears and failures, in the shared joys and tiny wins. Hope for what comes next, for both you and your child.

In this episode, you’ll be hearing from Marcia Leone about how she embraced pregnancy after miscarriage, Alex Nation on the part of parenthood she loves the most, Nama Winston on living her best life after leaving an unhappy marriage, and Ashe Davenport on how, for her, motherhood is all about letting go.
