Motherhood, careers, relationships, and all the chaotic life admin in between.
If you’re winging it like me, you’re in the right place & I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s get into it!
Honouring Two Angels and a Rainbow: Ali’s Journey to Lyla
October marks Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. A time to hold space for the parents and families who have experienced unimaginable loss.
In this episode, I sits down with my beautiful friend Ali Westrup - A teacher, wife, and mum to her daughter Lyla, and two babies in the sky, Lexi and Oli.
Ali shares her story with honesty, strength and grace... walking us through the heartbreak of losing her babies, navigating how to find her voice in the medical system, and the light that eventually returned with the birth of her beautiful rainbow daughter, Lyla.
It’s a conversation about grief that doesn’t follow a timeline, the reality of trying again after loss, and how motherhood can be both heartbreak and healing at the same time.
We talk about:💔 The devastating reality of losing two babies⚖️ What happens when the system fails women🩺 The importance of advocating for your body and your babies🌈 The fear and hope that come with pregnancy after loss👶 How motherhood after grief looks and feels different💬 What helps (and what doesn’t) when someone you love experiences loss
Ali’s courage to share her story helps break the silence and reminds us that there’s strength in vulnerability.

Happy Brain Birthday: Celebrating Neurodiversity in Motherhood with Abbey Patterson
There are some guests who come on this podcast and leave such a mark that you just know you’ll keep inviting them back - and Abbey is one of those people. This is actually her fourth time joining us, and every conversation we’ve had has been raw, honest, and deeply moving.
Abbey has a gift for taking her lived experience - as a therapist, a mum to neurodivergent kids, and now as an author of five powerful books and turning it into something that makes the rest of us feel less alone.
In today’s episode, she shares the stories behind her books, including Happy Brain Birthday, and opens up about the beauty and the challenges of reframing neurodiversity as something to be celebrated. This isn’t just a chat about parenting or diagnosis - it’s a conversation about growth, compassion, and finding colour in places we never expected.
💬 We talk:
Why Abbey turned her lived experiences into books that comfort mums as much as kids
How neurodivergent kids help us soften and grow as parents
Celebrating “Happy Brain Birthday” — reframing diagnosis as a joyful milestone
The privilege, challenges, and realities of navigating diagnosis and support systems
Why self-acceptance (for parents and kids alike) is the real superpower
