A catch up with Laura’s husband Dalton Henshaw!

Larissa Leone is the founder of the postnatal stay Homb. Larissa went through postnatal anxiety and depression after giving birth to her daughter Valentina almost 13 years ago. That experience, and knowing that no other postnatal stay like it existed, inspired Larissa to create Homb. Steph stayed at Homb after giving birth to Billie earlier this year and knew a little bit about Larissa’s story but in this episode Steph sits down with Larissa to learn more and find out where Homb came from. Larissa shares about her experience of postnatal anxiety & depression, how her postpartum differed between her first Valentina, and her second Sebastian, the research she did before creating Homb, and the profound impact she has had on families who got to experience Homb.

Daniel Principe is a youth advocate and educator who delivers workshops to students, parents and educators around relationships, sexuality & masculinity. In this episode, Laura sits down with Daniel to find out what he’s seeing in schools right now - how masculinity influencers and misogynistic content are shaping boys and their beliefs about themselves and women, the values they are actually seeking in their relationships vs what the internet tells them they should look for, the shaming and dehumanising behaviour he sees online and in schools, and the positive signs from some young boys who are doing things differently.

We thought we’d do something a little bit different this week and invite relationship coach and friend of the podcast, Megan Luscombe, on for one big deep dive segment! A few weeks ago Megan left a comment on one of our reels around the idea that “men need sex to feel love”. We wanted to unpack this with Megan so we got her in the studio to break down this idea for us. Plus we talk about the pressure for women to get back into sex postpartum, sex vs intimacy, using sex as a bandaid to cover up for a lack of vulnerability, and lots more!
