In part one of this beautiful conversation between Natalie and Kate Merrick, a psychotherapist and mum, Kate shares her incredible journey with her daughter Eliza and their 99 days in hospital after Eliza was born early at 29 weeks. This remarkable story is a true testament to the deep knowing of a woman's body, a teeny but mighty baby girl and a mother's unwavering love and trust. Kate sees the gifts of her experience and also shares how her emergency caesarean birth was utterly sacred. Part two will follow soon, not to be missed, thanks so much for your openness and honesty Kate.

This month on Mothers Talking, Jenna is chatting to Rachel Parker Soden about her current living situation, how it came about and how her and her two boys are 'letting the road guide us'. In this inspiring conversation, Rachel shares how sometimes the best thing we can do, is just to do, not overthink and let fear take over but let action lead you somewhere beautiful. Rachel is experiencing how staying present can make life so much better and her rare ability to let go, practice deep gratitude and allow her hard feelings is truly refreshing. Thank you Rachel for your mindful reflections on motherhood.
