In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, Nick and Steven are joined by Emma Thomson, a property investor who went from zero to building a 27-property portfolio within her first year — all while navigating maternity leave, redundancy, and a complete career pivot.Emma shares how she transitioned from a high-paying tech sales career into full-time property investing, using a mix of education, calculated risk-taking, and investor funding to scale بسرعة. The episode dives into mindset, resilience, and the realities behind rapid portfolio growth — including the pressure, cash flow challenges, and personal sacrifices along the way.This is a powerful, honest conversation about building a property business quickly — and what it really takes behind the scenes.

Most conversations about maternal mental health start in the same place: the one in five women who experience postnatal depression or anxiety. But what about the other four in five? What are we doing to help them thrive?It is a question that stops you in your tracks, because most of us have never thought to ask it.In this episode Dr Renee White sits down with Lesley Pascuzzi, an Applied Psychologist and PhD candidate at Curtin University whose research focuses on optimising the mental health and emotional wellbeing of women on their journey to parenthood, to explore what it actually means to feel emotionally well, not just the absence of illness, but something richer and more personal than that. Together, they unpack why so many women struggle to define their own wellbeing, and what it would look like to change that.It turns out that when women are given the space to think about it, they know what they need. The challenge is creating the conditions for them to hear themselves.You'll hear about:Why emotional wellbeing is so hard to defineWhat perspectives on wellbeing can teach us about inner knowingHow social media falls short for maternal mental healthWhy midwifery-led care is key to helping women thriveHow to start trusting your instincts with yourselfYou already have more answers about what you need than you might realise. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, get quiet, and start listening for them.Resources & Links

The act of care and service through food has been incredibly important to Besha Rodell throughout her life, from her first, euphoric experience of a fancy restaurant at age eight, to the aftermath of September 11.Today Besha is the chief restaurant critic at The Age.The thrill of a fancy restaurant first imprinted itself on her psyche when she was a girl, treated to dinner at Stephanie's iconic spot in Melbourne.As a teenager, Besha was transplanted to her mother's native USA and got her first job in hospitality — and found her people — in North Carolina.A stint in New York followed, where Besha witnessed September 11 in real time.Eventually Besha started a family with her boyfriend, Ryan, in North Carolina and the family found they were living under the poverty line. They got by thanks to a government food voucher program.Shortly after, Besha's blog posts, written for fun, gained traction and she was given her first assignment in food writing.Further informationHunger Like A Thirst is published by HardieGrant.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan. Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.This episode covers food, restaurants, restaurant critic, Stephanie's, Stephanie Alexander, Narnia, Melbourne, North Carolina, 9/11, September 11, migrant, not fitting in, government cheese, hospo, acts of service, behind the pass, line cook, pastry chef, methadone, coming off methadone, heroin, addiction, loving an addict, New York Times, food reviewing.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome back to The Night Feed. This episode is for the overstimulated, under-slept, slightly feral mums in the trenches of early motherhood.Firstly, here's the link to my 'Buy me a Coffee' page if you would like to donate anything towards the podcast it would be hugely appreciated ❤️ buymeacoffee.com/TheNightFeedTonight, I talk about child illness etiquette at baby groups and the awkward question of when to stay home with a poorly child. How contagious is too contagious? Is it unreasonable to leave? And why one “little cold” can mean ten days of broken sleep for another mum.I dive into the reality of baby sleep struggles and how parents whose babies sleep through the night really are living a different life. When your baby wakes every 45 minutes, exhaustion shapes everything; your mood, your patience, your mental health.There's also an honest (and hilarious) conversation about how we've all lowered our standards since having a baby. From sick on shoulders to floor snacks and rogue nappies at 4am, survival mode is real.We touch on the trending 75 Hard challenge and whether extreme self-discipline fits into early motherhood, plus a gentle reminder that babies don't keep and perfection can wait.If you're tired, touched out, and wondering if you're the only one barely holding it together, you're not.

After the safe arrival of her second baby, Poppy, Lil Bryant was anxious to return home from hospital to the peace and sanctuary of Mount Doreen Station - some 400km northwest of Alice Springs. Eagerly awaiting her return was her toddler son Dawson and hubbie Sam, along with Lil's beloved outback 'station family' of employees. But just nine days after Poppy's birth, Lil awoke in the middle of the night and immediately knew that 'something wasn't right'. Still half asleep, she turned on the bathroom nights and was greeted with a confronting sight. Lil was experiencing a significant Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) - and everyone at the station that night would have to work together to keep the terrified young Mum alive. ***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

This week I am over the moon to be joined by Bianca Sprague from Bebo MiaImagine having a support system that empowers you through every stage of parenthood, from preconception to the early days of postpartum. Bianca and I talk about the impact doulas have on birthing individuals and families. She explains the role of a good doula; how doulas offer nonjudgmental, continuous support, enabling parents to make informed decisions and navigate the often overwhelming landscape of pregnancy and childbirth.We also talk about the vital advocacy role doulas play in medical settings. We explore the fear surrounding medical statistics and the crucial support doulas provide in helping parents trust their intuition and make measured decisions during labor. Looking back on the 2020 pandemic, we discuss the detrimental effects of excluding doulas from birthing spaces and emphasize the long-term benefits of trauma-informed, compassionate care.As we delve into family dynamics, Bianca also talks about the crucial role doulas play in mediating prenatal conversations and managing generational parenting practices. We explore how doulas help navigate the often stressful involvement of grandparents and other family members, ensuring a harmonious postpartum environment. And finally, we discuss the expansive training opportunities available for those interested in becoming doulas, highlighting a comprehensive 17-week program designed to empower future doulas with the knowledge and confidence to support their clients effectively.Bianca is an absolute marvel in the doula world and if you've ever considered a change in career, or doula training in general, then I would look no further.You can find Bianca and Bebomia in all the usual places;Their websiteInstagram,FacebookAnd if you're getting a course on Bebomia use Code HPNB15 to get 15% off (as always, I get no commision and no referral cut).Email peter@healthypostnatalbody.com if you have any questions or comments or want me to interview a specific person As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.

It's been such a wonderful start to 2024, seeing women progress and feel confident with their movement, core and pelvic floor! So, this week I'm taking on the role of Easter bunny and spreading the love!Too many people STILL cue navel to spine to activate their core and feel demotivated with 'lazy glutes'. No, no, no. Let's get educated and empowered to move in a way that supports and strengthens! As a population, we are largely switched off, stressed and disconnected. We expect to jump into great movement patterns when we exercise, but it takes focused unpicking of habits, followed by re-education and practice of new ones in order for the magic to happen!We need to connect with and restore the breath, to enable the pelvic floor to brace the core... and then bring in a whole glorious symphony of bio-mechanical shifts... that enable the body to move in a way that feels good, supported and ultimately stronger! This is what I passionately try to deliver in each and every class I host. And, whilst I'm taking a break this Easter, I'm treating you to test out the MembersHub FREE for access to 100's of my classes until April 8th 2024... plus if you are super speedy, you can join Fridays LIVE class at 8.45GMT!

Hello beautiful ones!  I am so excited to share this month's interview with Lucy Jones with you.  I think it might be one of my favourite episodes ever:  our conversation was so rich and so full of the kinds of things I think we *really* need to be talking about when it comes to matrescence and motherhood.   I started following Lucy in the early days of writing her new book, Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood.  I was totally captivated by the ecological lens she applied to the transition to motherhood.  It was so much like my own perpsective and experience that I felt I'd found a kindred spirit. Lucy's book is one of the first on the experience of matrescence, and it is a raw and riveting account of her own metamorphosis as well as a cultural critique about modern motherhood. As we near the close of registration for the 2023 Season of MotherSHIFT and The Village, I'm delighted to be able to share this conversation with the many of you who are also walking this path of matrescence and matrescence-support.   Here's some of what Lucy and I talk about in this episode: > The rarely spoken-of and yet increasingly common ecological awakening that so many new mothers have – and Lucy's personal experience of leaning into her relationship with the living world as she traversed her own matrescence. > The things no one ever fucking told us about motherhood, including the societal expectations of motherhood versus the realities so many of us face.  We talk about ideologies around birth and mothering and how they deny us the opportunity to feel "normal" in these richly complex and usually paradoxical experiences. > The absence of modern-day rite and ritual to support us through matrescence, and how we must engage in the act of culture creation in order to reclaim these. > How liberal feminism lets mothers down, and how motherhood revolutionizes our relationship with work (and capitalism). > The untapped power of matrescence to radicalize us and poise us to advocate for social change (the biggest FUCK YES of this whole episode!).   I loved this interview so much, and I hope you enjoy tuning in!
