Today's podcast is a conversation about birth trauma with Dr. Erin Bowe, where we speak about:What birth trauma isHow to know if you may be experiencing birth traumaHow partners can also experience birth traumaHow to approach pregnancy and delivery post traumaand so much more.Dr. Erin Bowe is a Clinical & Perinatal Psychologist, Course Creator, Business Mentor and Author of More Than a Healthy Baby: Finding Strength & Growth After Birth Trauma. She has 13+ years experience supporting families through trauma to find growth, strength and beautiful resilience they never knew possible. After experiencing her own birth trauma (twice!) she quickly learned how little support and training there is for our birth workers who hear and witness these stories every day. From this, she developed two birth trauma training courses – one for parents, and one for birth workers, attracting thousands of students, so this speaks volumes to how much this work is needed.

‘Boundaries' is one of those topics that can stir up mixed emotions. For some, boundaries are a non-negotiable; something that is embraced wholeheartedly without reservation.

Today, Jacquie chats with Parent Coach and Therapeutic Play Practitioner Sarah Bolitho about boundaries; both those we set and hold for our children, and those we put in place for ourselves. Together, they unpack what boundaries are, why we need them, and how to go about putting boundaries in place that serve you and your child(ren) well.

The 4th trimester, that period of time that roughly corresponds to 12 weeks immediately following childbirth, can be like no other. It's full of healing, incredible love as you bond with your new baby and also challenges as you navigate physical, emotional and relational changes (not to mention sleep deprivation and round-the-clock newborn feeds!). In this episode, Jacquie chats solo about her own experiences, what a very challenging postpartum season taught her and 4 tips to help you thrive in your own 4th trimester.

Anger and rage in Motherhood is a taboo topic that's rarely discussed. Perhaps that's due to the guilt and shame mothers feel about those moments that they ‘flip their lid'. Many will question why they feel so angry, perhaps they'll even ask what is wrong with them. This version of themselves is so foreign to that they knew pre-kids, it can be like they barely recognise themselves. If these thoughts are familiar, take heart in knowing there are(likely many!) reasons underlying them, and understanding is the first step to change. This week, Jacquie is joined by Dr. Sophie Brock, a sociologist and motherhood researcher, with a particular interest in anger and rage in motherhood. Dr. Sophie offers an important perspective on the experience; one that has catalysed ‘lightbulb moments' for mothers across the globe. During the conversation Dr. Sophie explains 'the perfect mother myth' and details how you might be falling into the anger-guilt trap. Connect with Dr Sophie Brock via: Website: www.drsophiebrock.com Instagram: @drsophiebrock Dr. Sophie's course BLOOM: Growing Through Maternal Anger is available at https://drsophiebrock.com/maternalanger *IMPORTANT* Anger and rage can be signs of perinatal mood disorder, or other disorders such as postnatal anxiety and depression, which require professional treatment. If you are struggling with either, or are unsure if you need additional support, please reach out to your GP, health care professional or PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia) https://www.panda.org.au Normalising the range of emotions experienced does not equate with condoning aggression towards children.Follow Jacquie Ward on Instagram @the_brave_space_Follow Kylie Camps on Instagram @kyliecamps Follow The Kind Parenting Company on Instagram @thekindparentingcompany Sign up to The Kind Parenting Company newsletter For 20% off The Kind Parenting Company Sleep & Behaviour Programs use the code KPCPODCAST20 Hosted on Acast.

Babies who ‘catnap' – that is, sleep only for one sleep cycle at a time during the day (typically 20-40 minutes) can make it feel impossible to get anything done. No sooner have you settled them, poured yourself a cuppa and settled yourself in for a deep breath, and they're calling out from their cot! Catnapping can also lead to overtired babies, who are grizzly and unsettled due to a lack of restorative rest. Join Kylie for this solo chat, where she will run you through the top 5 things you must know to support catnappers and lengthen those sleeps. These strategies are based on what is developmentally appropriate for babies, fostered through Kylie's experience helping literally hundreds of families with this exact challenge.Follow Kylie Camps on Instagram @kyliecamps Follow Jacquie Ward on Instagram @the_brave_space_ Follow The Kind Parenting Company on Instagram @thekindparentingcompany Sign up to The Kind Parenting Company newsletter For 20% off The Kind Parenting Company Sleep & Behaviour Programs use the code KPCPODCAST20 Hosted on Acast.
