Mum Talk Podcast

Relationships, overwhelm & pulling up the drawbridge with Steph Douglas

I am joined by the wonderful Steph Douglas, mum of 3 and founder of <a href="https://www.dontbuyherflowers.com">Don't buy her flowers</a>. I connected with Steph through instagram after relating hugely to what she was sharing about her relationship and bringing up 3 children. Steph's sharing totally keeps me sane, whilst we were recording I was constantly nodding along. Steph is incredibly honest and open about her marriage and how bringing 3 children into the world has affected their rhythm. On the podcast we chat about the natural ups and downs in relationships, how to survive the stresses of everyday and trying to avoid constantly being on each others back, bringing it back to kindness, love and most importantly communication. We also chat about overwhelm and how if not managed can lead to full on manic mode! And of course Pulling up the Drawbridge, if you haven't yet read Stephs blog post, read it <a href="https://www.dontbuyherflowers.com/motherhood/pulling-up-the-drawbridge/"> HERE</a>.  Enjoy and as always please do feel free to connect with me @mumtalkpodcast on instagram or email me at <a href="mailto:mumtalkpodcast@gmail.com">mumtalkpodcast@gmail.com</a>. Have a lovely rest of your week Emma Xx     Hosted on Acast.

Mum Talk is here for you on your journey into parenthood providing your 'nod along' and 'me too' moments plus answering all the questions we all have! For the first 13 series, Emma is joined by not only incredibly knowledgable guests, some experts in their field, but also Mums and Dads sharing their experience of pregnancy and parenthood. Emma also shares her personal journey from pregnancy to life now with two. Mum Talk is honest, real and informative. For series 14, Emma is back with a brand new series and brand new conversation with her co-host Ali Bastian, who you may recognise from hit TV shows, Hollyoaks, The Bill and Strictly Come Dancing.  Ali and Emma are in the thick of motherhood and are here to deep dive into it all with you. Motherhood changes you as a person, physically and mentally, it seems (from personal experience)to give you the most incredible sense of purpose, self-worth and strength you didn’t know you had, whilst simultaneously leading you to question your ‘self’ and more or less everything you have ever known. Ali and Emma have one goal, as it has always been from the beginning of Mum Talk almost 5 years ago, to share in the hope no-one ever feels alone in motherhood.  Ali and Emma are here for it all, the highs, the lows, the journey that is motherhood, the realities of building a family, life, love, laughter, tears, heartbreak you name it. Grab a cuppa or pop your headphones in and head out for a walk, join Ali and Emma for ‘hearts on sleeves’ mum talk and journey through motherhood together.  Hosted on Acast.
