My daughter Kirra joins me to talk about the disappointment that's looming around her 16th birthday celebrations given we are in a state lockdown along with how challenging home schooling has been. It's been a very tough time for many and understanding how it feels from a teens perspective is so good to know. To follow the conversations and chat with other Mumma's join us over on The Perfectly Messy Mum Facebook page.

Do you dribble when you giggle? Pee when you laugh, jump, cough?

Have you heard of Pessaries? They just might be your answer as they have been mine!  Take a listen to Kirsty Hassett, a Physiotherapist passionate about helping women and their Pelvic Floor issues. I met Kirsty of Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy when she presented a Pelvic Floor seminar at the Crossfit Box I go to.  She knows the challenges we women face when it comes to leaking and she chatted with me about the tools and exercises available to help.

Straight up I will tell you that you NEED to forgive the quality of the recording because Richa offers incredible wisdom around Love, Life, Sex, Self Pleasure, Breath and so much more and it's a MUST hear for all women. It's so refreshing to talk so openly about our wants and needs as a woman. To not feel shame around self pleasure and sex. When we give ourselves permission to drop the armour and speak from our truth, deep connection and awareness happens, our world opens and lights up and we are able to work through past trauma to feel more joy.  To find Richa and her programs visit https://linktr.ee/richaekka The book Richa refers to is Pussy - A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer To join and continue the conversation head to the Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/theperfectlymessymum

Mumma, are you burning the candle at both ends? Does cleaning your home bring anxiety, frustration, guilt or sadness because you simply haven't the time nor energy to put into it? Does it steal precious time you'd rather spend with your family or on yourself? It's time to let your pride step aside and hire people to help you. Seeking help isn't embarrassing or a failure on your part, it's a necessity to find your balance so you don't miss out on the fun side of life. Want to join the conversation?

I'm joined by Tennille McEwan, a Mum who experienced multiple miscarriages before finally having her little boy. In this episode you will hear what it's like to be an older mum and feeling the pressures from self and others on having a baby, how peoples 'kind' words can be painful and how dealing with grief can stop you from celebrating. It's an important subject and one that needs to be heard. Tennille mentions The Pink Elephants Support Network.

Emma Dominello shares how she made a conscious decision to start living for her own expectations and not those of others.

The moment I decided that Yes was going to be my first answer rather than the safer default No, my life became more exciting and saying yes to things became easier. My wish for Mumma's is that they say Yes more than No, especially to things for themselves. 

To kick off the Perfectly Messy Mum Podcast I thought it would be a good idea to give you a glimpse into when and how I became a mum. Want to join The Perfectly Messy Mum private Facebook Group? Click here...
