Welcome to Friday’s Child the podcast, formally known as Life School ME. When I started Life School back in June 2019 my vision for where I wanted to take the podcast and how it would grow was not 100% clear. I knew I wanted to interview inspiring women and share their stories, but there was no grand plan. And that’s ok. I’m a firm believer in starting before you’re ready! But after falling pregnant with my beautiful daughter Mavia, and deciding to focus on the world of #BumpsandBabies for Series 2, I discovered a new passion for all things related to pregnancy and birth. The things I learnt about the female body and birth during my pregnancy journey have changed me forever and ignited a new found passion and love for this subject matter. So Life School has now been reborn as FRIDAY’S CHILD and during this Series I will be talking to First Time Mums, Childbirth Educators and Industry Experts on all things Motherhood. Whether you’re newly pregnant, a first time Mum or maybe you just want to find out more about the world of babies and Motherhood, I hope you enjoy listening to my wonderful guests and that hopefully you can take away some helpful information and insights. My guest today for this special final episode of the series is Dating Guru, Columnist, Host of The Clueless Mum Podcast, and all-round fabulous Celeb Mama, Nadia Essex. I am a huge fan of Nadia’s podcast, The Clueless Mum, and it was an absolute dream to have her on the show. We chat about Nadia’s birth, breastfeeding, postpartum body confidence and much more!

I wish every woman was made to feel this safe, protected and understood during the 4th Trimester.

Welcome to Life School Series 2, #BumpsandBabies! I’m still in the process of recording this series, and my plan was to start releasing episodes once I’d finished recording with all my wonderful guests. However, in light of the current global situation with Coronavirus, recording for now is on hold. So, I’ve decided to share with you the episodes I’ve recorded so far over the past couple of months. I know many of us are currently self-isolating at home with lots of time on our hands, so what better time to listen to your favourite podcasts, or perhaps discover some new ones! As a first time Mum, pregnancy, birth and babies is a whole new world for me, and I personally want to educate myself as much as I can before my little one arrives. From positive birth stories, information on hypnobirthing, water births, c-sections, baby massage and more, I hope throughout this Series I can shed some light on just some of the areas you may be worried about, or even just intrigued about. Thank you to all the incredible birth workers and women who have made this Series possible so far and thank you so much for listening. My guest for this episode is Louise Atkinson, an experienced Birth & Postnatal Doula and Certified Infant Massage Instructor who has been living in Dubai for over 6 years.

Welcome to Life School Series 2, #BumpsandBabies! I’m still in the process of recording this series, and my plan was to start releasing episodes once I’d finished recording with all my wonderful guests. However, in light of the current global situation with Coronavirus, recording for now is on hold. So, I’ve decided to share with you the episodes I’ve recorded so far over the past couple of months (pre-lockdown). I know many of us are currently self-isolating at home with lots of time on our hands, so what better time to listen to your favourite podcasts, or perhaps discover some new ones! As a first time Mum, pregnancy, birth and babies is a whole new world for me, and I personally want to educate myself as much as I can before my little one arrives. From positive birth stories, information on hypnobirthing, water births, c-sections, baby massage and more, I hope throughout this Series I can shed some light on just some of the areas you may be worried about, or even just intrigued about. Thank you to all the incredible birth workers and women who have made this Series possible so far and thank you so much for listening. Welcome to another very special ‘lockdown’ bonus episode of #BumpsandBabies. My guest today is Leanne Hogan, Charge Midwife at Al Zahra Hospital here in Dubai. It was an honor to speak to Leanne not only about her journey to becoming a midwife, but also her personal experience of being a key worker during these unprecedented times. Just a small disclaimer for any Mums to Be that may be listening, we recorded this episode in lockdown on the 18th May so the changes in the hospital policies due to Coronavirus that Leanne refers to during our conversation, may no longer be relevant when you are listening to this episode. Policies and protocols may vary hospital to hospital as well so for the latest updates at your hospital during this time, please do contact them directly or speak with your doctor.

Here at Life School, we are all about the business of learning. My guest today is the fabulous Co-Founder of Thrive Talks, Farida Gilmore. Farida is a qualified professional Career Coach having previously spent almost 10 years as a corporate communications specialist in the UK, Asia and Middle East before becoming the original Founder of Thrive. Thrive is inspired by Farida’s personal career journey where, while navigating the ups and downs of a career change with a young family in tow, she found a lack of inspirational, relatable and supportive voices. This spurred Farida to create an experiential platform, influenced by powerful TED-like talks but with a focus on the world of work, particularly from a female perspective, that she felt was deeply needed. Farida’s passion to provide a megaphone for individuals to share their personal stories and strive for better is at the core of Thrive’s growth and success.
