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.
