In this podcast episode, Heidi tackles the HUGE topic of listening, or rather lack of.

So many parents struggle with how to get their child(ren) to listen more. If this is you, you are not alone! It can feel exhausting when you have to ask a child to do something ten times, then end up shouting. It happens to us all, but here Heidi shares her very best tips on how to encourage your child to listen without needing to resort to threats or consequences.

In this episode Heidi is joined by the wonderful Alice Mackintosh, a registered nutritional therapist and co-founder of Equi London.

It is no secret to anyone who follows her, that Heidi has struggled to look after herself since baby number three arriving now nearly two and a half years ago. We know that being in the early throws of motherhood can mean that often, our needs are put to the bottom of the pile.

In this episode, Alice gives us some really solid and sound ideas for keeping on top of our own health, including topics such as:

• Iron postpatrum
• Having regular blood tests
• Whether electrolytes are useful
• Eating a Mediterranean diet
• Perimenopause

This episode is a brilliant way of reducing the overwhelm surrounding health and well being right now and getting to the basics of what exactly we need to do as parents, to look after ourselves.

The episode you’ve all been waiting for! This week, I’m joined by the brilliant Charlie Launder of Bumps & Burpees to talk about a topic I get asked about all the time - the jump from two to three children.

We get honest about what that transition really looks like:

• Charlie opens up about her fertility journey before having her first child
• We both share why we chose to have a third baby
• The (many!) challenges that come with managing three little ones
• And how we juggle motherhood and running our own businesses

If you’re currently on the fence about growing your family, this conversation is a must-listen. Whether you’re seeking reassurance, real talk, or just a sense of solidarity, you’ll find it here.

During this (very festive) episode, Heidi discusses the seasonal topic of illness and how that impacts sleep - all very topical given her daughter was in the early throws of bronchiolitis when recording this episode!

Depending on the illness, Heidi gives her top tips on dealing with sleep during illness including; how to make your little ones more comfortable, boosting their immune systems and also ensuring their sleep is as easy as possible during these hard times.

In addition to this, how best to continue with your successful sleep habits during times of illness and how to get back on track (if indeed you need to!).

Heidi also talks to model, influencer and Mummy of two Laura Coleman about her view of motherhood so far, including dealing with sleep (or lack of) and balancing two babies.
