Breaking The Distance - Podcast

Welcome Back!This weeks episode was one of the most challenging podcasts to record. We were finally able to sit down and share our breastfeeding journey as a couple. Whilst I (Tash) was pregnant with Sutton, Marthe began inducing lactation in order to breastfeed once Sutton was born. However, what began as idealistic dream, proved to be very different in reality. Here we share everything! We hope this helps others in their journey.

Welcome Back!This one is a big one, but we promise it's worth it. It was so interesting to sit down and talk through his experience together again after 9 months. At the point of publishing, Sutton has officially been in this world one day longer than she was in the womb ... mental! Every birth story is completely unique, but also each one can teach us so much. We are very curious to hear your thoughts on this one, so as always, send us a message on Instagram after (@_breakingthedistance)Enjoy!Always Grateful Tash & MartheSupport the show
