Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 6. In this episode, Michaela, from episode 2, interviews me about my story.

Before becoming a parent, I was studying to be a teacher. Then half way through my master's degree an unplanned pregnancy brought some huge, yet beautiful, life changes for my partner and I.

In this chat, Michaela and I talk about the great support we had during the postpartum period and how I actually found the most challenging period to be after my daughter was around 6 months old and that support began to wane, navigating both my partner and I going back to work, my positive breastfeeding journey (apart from a few bouts of mastitis), identity and relationship changes, and my struggles with my body image.
