Hiya!
This week on the pod we have a chit chat around gender stereotypes in our babies/kids & whether or not this is something that stems from biology or influence. We discuss our views towards gendered items/clothes/toys, whether or not we feel we have influenced our children & what are some helpful ways to be mindful of it moving forward.
We hope you enjoy this chat & we'd love to know your thoughts on this topic.

Hello hello!
This week had the pleasure of interviewing Natasha from Resonate Holistic on growing her family & what that looks like with a neurodiverse child.
Natasha is a speech pathologist & mum to Alfie, her 5 year old son who is diagnosed autistic.
This chat covers:
- Natasha's professional background as a speech pathologist, working with neurodiverse people
- The journey to become a family of 3
- Alfie's early years & the signs she first noticed that indicated to neurodivergence in him
- Diagnosis, understanding & management of Alfie's ASD
- The decision of when to have another child & how they as a family are feeling presently on the topic
It is such a special chat & we learnt so much, not only about Natasha's individual experience, but how we can all work to be better toddler parents & learn from our amazing kids. We know you'll love listening to this as much as we loved interviewing!

Hello & welcome to another episode of Do We Need Help, we're so glad you're here!
This week's episode is a catch up because truth be told, the first 3 episodes were recorded a little while back so we just had to catch you up on how we are.
It's a bit of a rogue one, the chat ends up in a few odd directions but we had a laugh & hope you do too!
Alongside all our babble, Carla also speaks of her recent bump in the road in her pregnancy. She recently had a cervical cerclage procedure & takes us through that journey.

Hi all!
This week we have our very first guest interview with the lovely Grace.
Grace shares her journey of going from 1 to 2 kids whilst faced with navigating central sleep apnea with her second daughter, Rosie. This chat is one of strength through unknown territory, adjusting to two kids when one needs additional support & navigating the community & public comments.
We are so grateful to Grace for taking the time to chat to us & we are sure you will all love this discussion.
