For far too long, reproductive health has been filled with taboos and stigmas, making it harder to take care of our own bodies. That's why we've started the podcast series ‘Fertility Unfiltered', in partnership with Genea– to help people learn more about reproductive health topics from health experts. We're creating a safe space for conversations around fertility, ranging from the possibility of parenthood, seeking guidance on reproductive health and even the science behind conception.

A law change is desperately needed to stop non-Māori artists using Māori faces and traditional facial tattoos in their work.  That's the view of a specialist in Indigenous cultural property, Aroha Mead. The issue has come to light again after broadcaster Oriini Kaipara  - who has a moko kauae - posted online that a portrait of her face was being sold without her permission.  There has also been outrage at a monkey statue with a mataora, or full-faced moko, wearing a korowai, created in celebration of Chinese New Year by former children's television host Erin Simpson. Samantha Payne, who painted the portrait of Oriini Kaipara, said in a statement to RNZ, that she apologised for any offence and hurt caused by her paintings, and accepts it was unethical and inexusable to not ask any of women she depicted for their permission first. The piece is no longer online. And in a statement, Erin Simpson who made the monkey statue, apologised for any offence that had arisen from her artwork and said she would be more culturally conscious with her future designs.

Mums Making A Difference: Behind The Scenes of a Non-Profit Start Up Founding a successful non-profit organisation is tough work! You are driven by passion and are determined to grow something that benefits your community and helps those in need; however, growing and sustaining your non-profit organisation may take years of effort. Unless you have founded an organisation that will benefit a large amount of people and there's nothing out there like it... Did you know that one in four pregnancies result in loss? On top of that tragedy, most women are shamed into silence and forced into deep sadness by a lack of support and trusted information. Today's guest is going to share the story of how her unique non-profit has received a massive amount of success within the last 18 months of being founded. You're going to love this episode because we're featuring a woman on a mission who is fuelled by absolute heart!

Today's guest is, Samantha Payne, one of the co-founders! Sam is a mum to a little girl, Georgie, and a rainbow baby, Johnny. She is an expat from the UK, and has lived in Sydney for the last eight years. When trying for her second child, Sam experienced 2 miscarriages and was shocked at the secrecy and isolation that came with it. She decided to share her journey and join forces with the other founders of the Pink Elephants to create something meaningful and beautiful that also inspires and changes how society perceives miscarriage and how to support women through it. She is a force, and I felt like this is a very important conversation to have for many bizmums who have similar experiences. Welcome to the virtual couch, Sam!
