Mama's Code The Podcast

This week we spoke to a mama that had a preterm baby, she shared her experience with us on how her pregnancy was, the days spent in neonatal care unit and the strain it put her mentally and physically.

To my beloved daughter. Dedicated to all our little lights that didn't make it earth side.

This week on the podcast we have Erika & Tesha from Culture slay, they've started youtube vlogs to educate us all on other Cultures and the importance all through food...so we gave it a litte twist & asked ourselves, How important is Culture in our childrens development & upbringing.

This week we spoke about how a perfectionist is formed & how this can impact our adult self's. We also asked the question 'How was your 4th Trimester....to a dad! A whole man talking about his 4th trimester, well that's interesting!

This week we are back with a 'Host with me" series and to start off we have John also known as Jess partner, we got him on the mic to answer 4 shortish questions from his perspective. Let us know how he got on. HAPPY LISTENING

On a scale of 1 to 10 how toxic are you as a mother? Think about it...we all have some level of toxicity & red flags, lets be honest & realistic! Theres only so much we could get through in an hour but have a listen and of course let us in to any thoughts or if you disagree, we're always up for healthy discussions because our aim is to always grow as humans and mothers raising the future! Have fun!

Mamas Code is back! It's been a long time coming but we're back & here's what happened! P.s we wouldn't be Jess & Erika is we didn't over think craY scenarios so as standard, listen till the end to hear us out as to why we'd like to handcuff our kids to our body! We hope you enjoy and we hope you've missed us!

WE'RE BACK!! Happy Monday! We hope you've missed us!! **TRIGGER WARNING** Firstly we are so in awe of this special Lady, who has shared her grief journey with us personally & with you! It's truly so beautiful to hear her hear through sharing her story. We know Mothers day doesn't look the same for everyone but today we wanted to remember a Angel and honour her with the strength and courage during her last battle. Sending out lots of love to anyone that can resonate with this.

This week we had the chance to speak to one of our resident Midwife who so happens to have worked with a breastfeeding support group for a few years after realising how complicated breastfeeding actually is from her first born. She shared lots of her knowledge tips and advice.

Welcome back to another week of Mama's code and another week of over thinking as per usual! This week we discussed sleepovers and how we personally felt about them & our experiences when we were kids.

This week we spoke all things surnames, maiden names etc. Sorry if we came across judgy sometimes we are too passionate

This week we touched on postnatal anxiety, such a common thing to experience but so little spoken about. Perhaps its the shame we feel? the fear of being judged? the expectation of feeling and looking like we have everything sorted and under control? Of fear of our little ones being taken away. We spoke to Naomi Buffery a coach serving women tips and advice on how to look after herself and mindset in order to help juggle these feelings and emotions, a way to help aid all women. Enjoy. @maternalmentalhealthcoach www.naomibuffery.com

Happy Monday, Here's a smoothie-type episode we spoke about being vegetarians, depressed chickens which led us to pregnancy announcements, Like how would you tell your friend you are pregnant when they aren't able to conceive? And our bit on the side was, do we really have the same 24hrs? We definitely do but our those hours are picked and packed differently for each individual. 

YASS Happy 2022 we are back to our normal recording schedule. This week we discussed the Pope's audacity to judge those who choose pets over kids and also, what's it really anyone's business. Having 1 child is hard enough but 2? Or more? Also not to mention the mum guilt of deciding on just one child dwells on a few of us too.

Tis the sunday before xmas and the round of xmas squid games has begun! Just a quick chit chat, sex and awkward xmas scenarios this week

This week we had such a lovely chat with Emma from the mum coach who shared her journey with us and her fears of speaking out about how she really felt after having her baby girl. Find her on instagram on @the_mum__coach

DISCLAIMER DO NOT LISTEN OUT LOUD WITH KIDS AROUND We don't want the blame for any kids hurt feelings.  Also just to point it out this is all just a dissected, worst case scenario conversation taking into consideration conversations the things we hear and see. Wishing you a merry December, heres a gentle reminder that christmas is more than food and presents.

Now, hold on, self care has different meanings to everyone, it can be anything physical, emotional, spiritual or even financial like you know, amazon prime & next day deliveries

Hey Mama's!! We are back with another episode this time to discuss how unsafe we feel as women, how we subconsciously walk around with our survival instincts activated & how dick privilege affects us to the most minimal detail. Who even thought walking around with one earphone out would be a thing in 2021! For those that want to see the interview Erika mentioned, you can find it on YOUTUBE: What's it like to be intersex: minutes with UNILAD have a watch and let us know your thoughts in the comments. #womenhood #keepourwomensafe

Your favourite Mama's are back to talk about the Mums you don't enjoy, and by mums we mean the in laws

Have you ever thought OMG why is my child so impulsive,impatient, stubborn & asked them, why are you like this? Well it all sounds like a US problem to be honest & let's keep it real, it's hard to control our reactions instantaneously at times but our little ones pick up everything!! This week we spoke to Joss from Jossy care who shared with us his opinions on why Love is so important & why we should let children lead our parenting! Such an amazing chat, we came out feeling like better people, 'in Erikas words' Share, rate & subscribe where you can. We really appreciate all our listeners. Happy Monday!

This week we spoke to an inspirational young man that told his story with growing up sexually and emotionally abused. It's very rare we hear these stories from a male perspective but we must use these experiences as a reminder that they happen & it's always in most cases the closest people around us that are the perpetrators.

Last week was Baby loss awareness week & we couldn't go without sending love & light to everyone that feels this close to home. This week we're sharing a beautiful story & very close to our hearts.

This was a bloody good chat haha! We spoke all things periods, from fun facts to personal stories because that's how much we want to share with you! We also touched on should periods be an excuse to miss school or work for a day? Or atleast have a safe environment that understands this nature of being a women because lets face it some of us die with cramping! Feel empowered by these, let's continue to promote period positiveness & less shaming!

No-one was harmed in the making of this episode! This week we spoke to our resident panel aka our partners & former host about vasectomy, contraception and Jess's other half came with all the scenarios possible. What are your thoughts? We all agreed that ultimately whatever decision you make is entirety up to you & you should always consider EVER last situation before the big snip! Don't forget we're open to suggestions if you want the resident panel back! New episode every Monday morning! As always thank you for your support !

Postpartum psychosis is a serious mental health illness that can affect someone soon after having a baby and affects around 1 in 500 mothers. This week we spoke to the wonderful Eve Canavan about her experience & shared some quite beautiful things with us

Running a business is all fun and games until you add kids to the mix, mum guilt & a pandemic! This week we spoke to this amazing mummy who quite beautiful put into words that we all need a break and kids are hard work!

This week we spoke to this inspirational woman about her health journey & what it was like in the lead up to having a Kidney transplant, what thoughts ran through her mind and juggling motherhood. A simple reminder to wake up grateful every day.

Well well well, this week we had fire on the podcast. Some people will definitely disagree with our opinions but as mothers raising boys, this is our personal views, our fears & beliefs on how our boys can be part of the solution and not the problem, however, look inside your own home & make sure you do the same. We're raising humans, not Genders!

This week we had such a great conversation with Leila & Katie from @betterbirthsanc all about a Midwife's perspective, the support us mothers and females need and why on-going care is so important. Also a note on what a good sign it is when you poop yourself during birth! Find out why!

This week we had a nurse and mother of 2 boys telling us her birth story of her first born and how traumatic it was, comparing to her second.

This week we had a quick catch up, filled you in with the goss and answered some questions you sent in. From more babies to raising men childs and sending nudes to our bosses

Giving the gift of life has a whole new meaning! This week we spoke to Gloria about her Surrogacy journey, we made sure to ask the most! What a candid talk, from why she decided to do this, to how her birth really affected her emotionally. She was able to be selfless, kind and courageous to make someone's dream of becoming family come true through her own womb! Thank you so much! #surrogacy #ivf

This week we spoke to such an amazing Mama about her experience with her specially little girl. Her daughter defied everything the doctors said about her development. With it being maternal mental health week, we really got into the shoes of this mother & she did not hold back on telling us her truth.

This week we spoke to the fantastic @la_mslopez This woman has helped so many of us during lockdown. We spoke about the generational trauma we underwent with educational preassure. How ojr parents demanded Law degrees, Doctors in the family & how we always felt we had no choice. Such a great conversation on how to break away from this and how to really enable the kids of tomorrow to think outside of the system.

This week we spoke to Mother of 3 and her experience with grieving her mother & how this changed her life & how motherhood has been for her. Most of us still have our mothers around to support us & help with anything the kids need but whats it like when she has wings?
