If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “Perinatal mental health and postpartum psychosis”______________Ariane Beeston is a child protection worker and newly registered psychologist when she gives birth to her first child – and very quickly begins to experience scary breaks with reality. Out of fear and shame, she keeps her delusions and hallucinations secret, but as the months pass Ariane gets worse. Much worse. Finally admitted to a mother and baby psychiatric unit, the psychologist is forced to learn how to be the patient.With medication, the support of her husband, psychotherapy and ultimately, time, Ariane rebuilds herself. And she also begins a new chapter working in perinatal mental health, developing resources to support other new mothers.Ariane has been a staff writer at Fairfax Media's Essential Baby and Essential Kids and has also published articles in The Sydney Morning Herald, Daily Life, Babyology and Mamamia. She recently released her first book, Because I'm Not Myself, You See: A memoir of motherhood, madness and coming back from the brink is an incredible story of the impossible pressures placed on new mothers and how quickly things can go wrong during 'the happiest time of your life'. Ariane currently works for Australia's peak body in perinatal mental health, The Centre of Perinatal Excellence (COPE), as their communications and content manager. She is also a dancer and choreographer - one fascinating woman.For more information about Ariane, check out these places;-Find her book here: Because I'm Not Myself, You SeeWebsite: https://www.arianebeeston.com/ Instagram: @arianejbeestonLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arianebeeston Head to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

The Parent Panel is off for one more week, so in the meantime we thought we'd introduce you to a fellow Babyology podcast, Two Judgy Mums. Hen and Becks are our 2 Judgy Mums – they’re two mums who are under pressure, under-resourced but over-opinionated. They’ve been thinking about all the #blessed parenting podcasts and wondering why they don’t seem to match the lives real mums are actually living. Aspirational listening is all well and good, but where is the podcast for frazzled mums that tells it like it really is? In this episode they ask, is a dirty child a reportable offence? Becks and Hen look at all the ways you can polish up a soiled young one. Disclaimer: No children were harmed during the making of this episode!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They’ve been thinking about all the #blessed parenting podcasts and wondering why they don’t seem to match the lives real mums are actually living. Aspirational listening is all well and good, but where is the podcast for frazzled mums that tells it like it really is?

Becks and Hen make the call.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Babyology's Ella Walsh and social researcher Neer Korn definitely aren't parenting experts. But that won't stop them from taking on the issues of the week. From banning book week, is it time that non-parents were given the same work flexibility as parents, making housework fair, and what do you do that makes your feel like a good parent?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How much sleep does a kid need? While The Parent Panelists and Shevonne Hunt take a week away from the mic, we've got a special episode of a brand new Babyology podcast everyone parent should listen to.

The first episode looks at just how much sleep a child needs per day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jason Treuen from Babyology and musician Angie Who use their infinite wisdom and parental prowess to tackle the big issues that have had parents talking across the country. From banning school holidays, travelling first class sans children, bad parenting habits, and surprising qualities in our kids; from the good (random acts of generosity) to the bad (surprise farts to the face anyone?)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Journalist and host of The Mothershift Jacinta Tynan and Babyology's Jason Treuen join forces to compare notes, criticise, and cackle their way through the week that was for parents and carers. This week the topics ranged from whether boys need help being taught how to "be a man", playground etiquette, stay-at-home-dads, and cartoon characters that need to ditch their fairy tale tropes and have some real adventures.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It feels like we've known each other for quite a while now but this was our very first IRL (in real life) conversation.

“I think it's just really weird that people don't interact anymore, we're all so digital these days. I think engaging with other humans is so important, and you often find out things you never knew existed in the world if you weren't talking to someone doing your nails or someone in a lift.” - Mandi Gunsberger We're chatting with Mandi Gunsberger. The Founder and Managing Editor of Babyology, Australia's largest digital media company for parents. In this conversation, Mandi opens up and talks on how she fosters curiosity and creativity in her daily life. She also shares her tips for those who are more introverted on how to connect with strangers or step into situations that are outside of our comfort zones. We discuss boundaries, the value of sleep and why it's relevant to our levels of creativity; and why you'll be better in business when you honour bedtime. And for the parents out there, you'll hear about some fun ways to foster creativity in your children's lives. Want to create a soundbite series for your audience? You can!
