  • Toilet training with Jo Hardie from Spewy
    Apr 16 2024

    Today I chat with Jo Hardie, who is the founder and creator of Spewy, an innovative product born out of necessity.

    In today's episode we discuss toilet training. In particular we chat about:

    - the difference between day and night toilet training.

    - timing - how to know when to start toilet training?

    - making toilet training a positive experience

    - how to manage setbacks.


    Six years ago, after enduring a disastrous road trip with her three children, including an incident of car sickness, she recognised the need for a solution that would eliminate the hassle of using towels and buckets whenever children fell ill.

    Determined to create something both practical and appealing to children, Jo embarked on a mission to develop a versatile product that would simplify the lives of parents everywhere.

    After customer feedback Spewy now also offers a range of Bed Mats, which are discussed in this episode.

    Apr 10 2024

    In today's episode I chat with Holly who shares her pregnancy journey, birth story and motherhood experience.

    Becoming a mother didn't quite look how Holly had envisioned. This is her story of an IVF pregnancy, navigating her husbands cancer diagnosis during pregnancy, to a birth and postpartum that looked nothing like she thought it would.

    Holly describes her breastfeeding difficulties, postpartum rage, sleep deprivation, and more. As Holly describes, motherhood 'has been the most difficult but incredible journey I have ever experienced.

    Holly shares:

    • Having a baby with her husband via IVF as a result of a gender transition.
    • Preparing for birth and my challenging birth experience
    • Preparing for postpartum
    • Overcoming breastfeeding difficulties
    • Managing postpartum rage
    • Navigating husbands cancer diagnosis and treatment during pregnancy and postpartum.
    • Learning how to take care of myself properly and maintaining a positive mindset through it all.
