Don’t let your menstrual cycle dictate your training with Dr Hazel Wallace
Hazel Wallace is a medical doctor, nutritionist, women’s health advocate and founder of ‘Align’ a 10-week online program demystifying the menstrual cycle. We asked you for your menstrual cycle questions and in this conversation Steph puts them to Hazel: how much pain is normal? Why does my period change after having a baby? Is it normal that my period is brown? Hazel also challenges commonly held beliefs that we need to train differently while we’re on our period and that staying on the Pill for a long of time causes infertility. Check out ‘Align’ here: https://www.thefoodmedic.co.uk/i-am-ready-to-align Steph & Laura were on Hazel’s podcast The Food Medic.

Don’t call it a “cookie” - talking to kids about consent & body safety – KICBUMP with Jayneen Sanders
Jayneen Sanders is a mum of three, author and educator. Her childrens' books teach kids about body boundaries, respect, consent, body safety, feelings and emotions. It’s every parents’ worst nightmare to think of something happening to their kid. But Jayneen’s work seeks to empower kids to become the boss of their bodies and teach parents how they can model respectful behaviour and boundaries at home. In this important conversation, Steph asks Jayneen about the importance of calling ‘private parts’ by their proper names, what age to start these conversations with kids, and the skills Jayneen teaches kids including creating a list of trusted adults that they can come to in case anything happens.

Is it normal to resent your partner during the newborn phase? – KICBUMP with Leonie Akhidenor
You’re exhausted from feeding all night and your partner is playing golf. If you’re currently in the depths of the newborn phase, and resenting your partner for going back to their normal life, you’re not alone. Mum of two, relationship coach, and host of the ‘Parenthood’ podcast Leonie Akhidenor has heard it all (and worse) so we asked for her help to answer your questions. Steph & Leonie discuss the resentment that parents can feel when they’re taking on more of the load than their partner & how to manage it, what non-feeding partners can do to feel useful and how common it is to feel disconnected from your baby in the early days.
