Each week I chat with families about their journey into parenthood - the grandest of adventures. Parenting is beautiful, messy, sparkly, hard work. You were never meant to do this alone. It's time to get comfy In Your Own Kin.
In this episode Rachael reflects on her parenthood journey, and adventures with her partner Tristan and their two children Eloise and Dion.
Oof! This one is such a beauty. Rach weaves such magic with her words, so perfectly capturing the beauty, brutality and huge transformation that comes with the season. Rach covers so much ground in this episode, managing as always to shed light on those aspects of motherhood that so often remain unspoken with such warmth and generosity. We talk about creating your village and identifying your kinship support network, her two very different birth experiences, the wild and wondrous nature of postpartum, sexuality and motherhood, ritual, ceremony and matresence.
This is one you are going to come back to again and again. I am such a huge fan of everything Rachael creates, and it was such an honour to be able to sit with her and listen to her story.

29 Jordan
In this episode Jordan shares her parenthood journey, and reflects on life with her husband D’Arcy and their daughters Ainsley and Billi. Jordan also happens to be my wonderful sister in law. It was such a delight to sit with Jordan and listen to her story – so much of our time is spent on video calls with the cousins catching up, so to snag this time together felt extra precious. Jordan speaks really openly and honestly about her mental health journey, generously sharing an insight in to her experience navigating the system over the last five years. She also talks really honestly about body image, building a kinship support network and backing yourself and committing to your dreams. This episode is such a gift, and a testament to Jordan’s resilience.

28 Kat
In this week’s episode Katrina shares her parenthood journey and reflects on adventures with her husband Brendan and their children Reggie and Millie.
It was such a delight to hear Kat’s story. Kat speaks with so much warmth and generosity about the joys and challenges of parenthood. I know that like me, you will be nodding along as she speaks about experiencing mum guilt and mum rage. I loved this chat – it is bursting with love and reassurance, and serves as a timely reminder that we all need in this season, and throughout all of the seasons of parenthood. Katrina talks about the journey to conceiving Reggie, her two different births, her mental health, asking for help, and her two very different postpartum experiences.
