KICBUMP: When Birth Plans don't go to Plan
In today's KICBUMP episode Steph reflects on her own birth story, and shares a number of the communities birth stories too where their birth didn't exactly go to plan!The common piece of advice; have preferences over having a plan & remember that your personal feelings when you reflect on your own birth are valid no matter what they are. You are able to feel grateful at the same time as disappointed - the two feelings absolutely can sit parallel when it comes to reflecting on your birth.If you’re looking for an online community of other mummas to connect with, you can find our private KICBUMP page on Facebook.Thank you to todays sponsor, ErgoPouch.

The power of mindset and finding happiness with Em Carey
With World Happiness Day quickly approaching, Steph and Laura took the opportunity to chat with ray of sunshine Em Carey also known as 'the girl who fell from the sky'. After becoming paralysed from the waist down when her parachute didn't open whilst skydiving, Em had to learn to walk again. Although in an irreversible situation, Em didn't let this stop her. In this chat she shares her journey after her accident and her tips on how to find happiness and have strength in the most uncontrollable of situations. Our happiness is in own hands and Em wants to remind you that even though the problem might not go away, you have the power to change the way you look at it. This chat serves as a reminder to shift the focus off of what you don’t have onto what you DO have and to have faith in your own strength.
