This week on the Barely Balanced Podcast, we sit down with the beautiful Kayla Gane — mum to little Vera and currently expecting baby number two!

Together, we dive into the real and raw sides of motherhood: how parenting styles can evolve, what it means to truly collaborate with your partner (even on the messy days), and the unexpected ways body image shifts as your family grows.

Kayla opens up about her journey, shares heartfelt insights, and reminds us all that there’s no one ‘right’ way to do this parenting thing — just the way that feels most authentic for your family.

It’s honest, funny, and deeply relatable — whether you’re a new mum, soon-to-be mum, or just love peeking behind the curtain of someone else’s motherhood story.

Tune in for a chat that feels like a warm cup of tea with friends.

Perfect for busy days when you need a protein boost or a satisfying snack that actually supports your health, not just your hunger. Don't forget to use our discount code barelybalanced to save on your next order!

🤰 Nourishing Your Bump — our signature program designed to guide you through pregnancy and postpartum. It’s more than just nutrition advice; it’s a holistic resource that helps mums feel empowered, informed, and truly cared for. From trimester-specific nutrition tips and supplement guidance to postpartum recovery strategies, it’s everything we wish every mum had in one easy place.

We love these brands because they share our philosophy: real food, real support, and real results.
