I interview Sally Mander from Aspire physio on all things postpartum when it comes to getting your body back to strength. From running and squats through to mum guilt and wetting yourself. As always, we share our honest experiences and knowledge to help mums find the best options for their health. What's covered in this episode: How soon after giving birth can you exercise? What's the reason for a 6 week sign off to start exercise again and is it necessary. What's 'normal'? What is the best exercise to start with after having a baby? Sally talks about what her road to recovery and back to exercise has been after having 3 children. As a runner she fills us in about ways to get back into running safely and with a pram if you choose that. Pelvic floor explained. We go into pelvic floors, how to best strengthen it and discuss some fun new games and tools out there at the moment to help strengthen. Sally explains exactly what else a mum needs to know.

Wow what a blast I had interviewing this dad of one.

Jhuan Roux is provides humour, a direct approach to parenting, with a lot of ‘who gives a crap what people think’ approach.

This podcast is for dads who are new to parenting and/or for mums who are confused and frustrated with their partners and how they help, or don’t help.

We go into how Jhuans son came into the world, why he believes childbirth isn’t that painful, his violent upbringing in South Africa, his style of parenting and how to have a more fun and chilled out approach.

We dig into what makes a good 50/50 parent split, what he thinks about Elon Musks comment around being a dad and that it’s up to the mum.

He provides advice for mums from a dad's perspective on how to feel less overwhelmed and stressed.

There’s so much in this episode to get you thinking in a different way. I hope this helps mums understand why dads do what they do (well at least this dad) so you can enjoy parenting, have a little more fun and time to yourself and don’t sweat the small stuff...

What stories are we telling ourselves because of our past?

Lara shares a personal story.

“I eat normally, so why do I still have gut issues?” “I have a normal lifestyle so why is my energy low?” “I have a ‘healthy’ diet so why am I still having health issues?” “I sleep well so I can’t be stressed”. 

Any of this sound familiar? 

Let’s chat about what ‘normal’ is and why striving for it is wasting your time and causing you more issues in the long run. 

Do this instead to start taking back control of your health and understanding what suits your body once and for all.
