Be calmer, happier and more fulfilled in motherhood and life | Louise East - More to Mum
I'm delighted to introduce you to Melbourne Mum Louise East who is Mindset and Life Coach for Mums.
At More to Mum, Louise is on a mission to help you see that you are more now that you're a mother, not less. She loves to help you identify what you really want in motherhood and life, and make it a reality.
Louise also has the most wonderful perspective about helping Mums and how it causes a positive ripple effect that extends to our family and then beyond that to the wider community.
This episode is super practical and relatable to all Mums. Louise talks about the reasons why we're feeling overwhelmed in our lives and provides tips around overcoming this. If you've been losing it a lot lately and then beating yourself up about being 'angry Mummy' you'll be thrilled by the approach Louise shares about how to be keep your cool and be calmer. We then chat about boundaries - why is it important to have them and how you can establish them with others. Louise keeps the tips coming with sharing ways we can slip out of mum-mode and connect more with our partners. And lastly we talk about self-care in a realistic way. No more feeling the guilts about another thing you don't have time for. Like I said, a super practical episode.
Here's some links to the nifty resources that Louise chats about:

The business of making babies - From embryologist to fertility educator & coach | Lucy Lines - Two Lines Fertility
Fertility has become big business over the last 20 years since my latest guest has been involved within the industry. Perhaps you've struggled to have a baby? Or you have a friend that's experiencing this. Fertility is something that isn't spoken about openly or often and this makes the process of trying to conceive (naturally or with assistance) extremely difficult.
Lucy Lines started as a clinical embryologist (an IVF scientist) working in fertility clinics around the world helping people have the family they always dreamed of. But as you'll hear, this wasn't enough. Lucy started to see a scary shift towards the exploitation of those who face fertility challenges and it was something that she didn't want to be a part of. So, Lucy found a way to get BACK into the business of making BABIES not making money for shareholders!
Naturally, Lucy moved into a guidance and support role. At Two Lines Fertility, Lucy provides people with independent support as they navigate the overwhelm of fertility treatment. She's like a fertility coach who can give you the answers that Google can't.
In this episode Lucy shares why she made the leap from embryologist to fertility educator and program manager. She speaks about when to seek out professional help and provides great advice about how we can support our friends or family undergoing treatment. Lucy also explains what secondary fertility is and why it occurs. And lastly, Lucy shares another offering that she's really passionate about - Future Fertility Safe. This is where she loves to educate and empower young women and men and the people who care for them to understand how to protect their reproductive future.

Creating an Australian made kids fashion label that solves a common problem | Jessica Haley - Frankie + Roy
The motherhood gig is hard and everyday there's new products and services launched that make our life that little bit easier. The BEST ones are usually designed by parents and I'm happy to say lots of them are by clever Melbourne Mums.
Have you ever come across something and thought "I wish someone would invent X-Y-Z. That would make my life so much easier." Well no more waiting for someone else to do it, YOU can create it. And I've got a Melbourne Mum joining the podcast today who is proof of this.
Jessica Haley accidentally slid into my DMs a few years ago and it was an Instagram meant-to-be moment. She was busy working on something that was a huge pain point for me as a Mum. I have a slim kid (he gets it from his Daddy) and it was impossible to find pants to fit his teeny tiny waist. Do you have this problem too? Or the waist fits but the length is embarrassingly short. Sure, there's those pants with the side buttons to bring them in, but they're hard to find and they're actually really annoying.
Jessica shared this same frustration with her first two sons. Instead of waiting around for someone else to solve this problem, Jess decided she was going to roll up her sleeves and have a go at changing kids fashion by bringing waistlines in without compromising on length.
With absolutely no background in design, manufacturing or business, she launched her unique Australian made kids fashion label - Frankie + Roy.
In this episode, Jess walks us through the process from idea to manufacturing to launching her label. She shares the challenges and lessons. Jess' clothing is 100% Australian made (in fact it's made right here in Melb) and so she talks about why this is important to her and what this means for us fashion consumers. We also chat about that moment where Jess went from a secure job, having her 3rd son and then leaping into her biz full time. And lastly we chat about life as a Mama of 3 boys. You'll see their gorgeous faces frequently featured in the Frankie + Roy campaigns.

Let's meet Jessica!
