Today's episode is all about people pleasing and why at Christmas it can be so hard with so many people wanting so much from us. Here Zoe shows us why it's so empowering to ask not, 'what does everyone else want and need' but instead remember why it's important to ask 'what do I want and need?'

1When it comes to the mental load it can be very easy to feel like our partners aren't dragging their weight, and so often this results in feelings of resentment towards them. So this week we've brought in the incredible Dr. Morgan Cutlip to give us her best advice on how we keep those feelings at bay. Dr. Morgan is a mental load and relationships expert who joins us to show us the best ways of approaching these feelings with our partners. She shares the root cause of the inequality that so many of us feel when it comes to the mental load, the domestic load, and being the default parent. She tells us what to do if our partner gets defensive whenever we mention the mental load, and the best things to say when that happens. By the end of this episode you'll have actionable steps to rebalance the load and to feel less resentful.

Guilt has become so normalised, so prevalent in motherhood that it even has it's own name: 'Mum Guilt'. We don't talk about 'dad guilt', or 'person guilt', or 'human guilt', so why should we allow guilt to stop us feeling like the amazing mothers that we are? In this special solo episode, Zoe shares one of her biggest passions - freeing us from unnecessary guilt. Listen to this episode to learn two life-changing tools that help us use our guilt for good, and stop us letting toxic or unproductive guilt from ruining our motherhoods.

On last week's episode with Dr. Alison McClymont we touched on birth trauma, and the response from the community has been staggering.

Illyin is a midwife and birth trauma expert who shared with us what you can do if you have birth trauma, or if you feel uncomfortable with how your birth went and its still affecting you now.

oh wow. listening to this has given me confidence, yes! I was also surprised by his answer to your situation, I thought the advice was to reflect the emotion but not allow the behaviour (the hitting). so so interesting. a difficult one to put into practice though? what have others said?
Really disappointing episode. Very judgement guest, very unhelpful to new mums struggling..! May try some other episodes and see if this was a one off.
Very insightful and will be listening again as so much to take in!! ❤️
amazing. his passion alone has convinced me to get this book!
I did not enjoy this first episode. I am going to stick through for episode 2 but so far not impressed.
Wow what an episode! I have just found this podcast and chose this one to listen to first and found it really moved me. So much to take away from it that I am going to re-listen and make some notes! Carolyn is amazing! Have you arranged another episode with her? Sarah
this was thoroughly depressing.
Fabulous interview, it's really given me a lot to think about, what an amazing woman.
this podcast has really helped me today! thank you for such amazing content!
Brilliant podcasts ♡
Loved this. ...quieten down the noise and listen to what you need ... fantastic first listen for me to this channel
