Motherhood often comes hand-in-hand with big shifts in our identity.

An inspiring and practical chat that will leave you with tangible strategies you can take away and implement in your own life.  Jazze’s life-changing book recommendation: Unbound by Kasia Urbaniak Connect with Jazze Jervis via her IG @jazzejervis_ or her website www.jazzejervis.com.au Follow Jacquie Ward on Instagram @the_brave_space_ Follow Kylie Camps on Instagram @kyliecamps Follow The Kind Parenting Company on Instagram @thekindparentingcompany Sign up to The Kind Parenting Company newsletter For 20% off The Kind Parenting Company Sleep & Behaviour Programs use the code KPCPODCAST20 Hosted on Acast.

Today’s podcast is a conversation about birth trauma with Dr. Erin Bowe, where we speak about: What birth trauma is How to know if you may be experiencing birth trauma How partners can also experience birth trauma How to approach pregnancy and delivery post trauma and so much more. Dr. Erin Bowe is a Clinical & Perinatal Psychologist, Course Creator, Business Mentor and Author of More Than a Healthy Baby: Finding Strength & Growth After Birth Trauma. She has 13+ years experience supporting families through trauma to find growth, strength and beautiful resilience they never knew possible. After experiencing her own birth trauma (twice!) she quickly learned how little support and training there is for our birth workers who hear and witness these stories every day. From this, she developed two birth trauma training courses – one for parents, and one for birth workers, attracting thousands of students, so this speaks volumes to how much this work is needed.

‘Boundaries’ is one of those topics that can stir up mixed emotions. For some, boundaries are a non-negotiable; something that is embraced wholeheartedly without reservation. Others can find them a little more challenging to implement and hold. Wherever you sit on that continuum, this episode will speak to you.  Today, Jacquie chats with Parent Coach and Therapeutic Play Practitioner Sarah Bolitho about boundaries; both those we set and hold for our children, and those we put in place for ourselves. Together, they unpack what boundaries are, why we need them, and how to go about putting boundaries in place that serve you and your child(ren) well.  Sarah’s life-changing book: Dibs in Search of Self by Virginia Axline Connect with Sarah via her website www.securefoundations.com.au or through Instagram @securefoundations Follow Jacquie Ward on Instagram @the_brave_space_ Follow Kylie Camps on Instagram @kyliecamps Follow The Kind Parenting Company on Instagram @thekindparentingcompany Sign up to The Kind Parenting Company newsletter For 20% off The Kind Parenting Company Sleep & Behaviour Programs use the code KPCPODCAST20 Hosted on Acast.
