The final *bonus* episode of Season 1 of Sisterhood, The Podcast features Lucy's friend and fellow first time mum (FTM) Emma Edwards. After meeting on the app Peanut whilst both pregnant, Lucy and Emma discuss their new friendship and shared struggles over the past 12 months. Becoming a parent is huge adjustment, one that so many of us experience, but the 'village' that is so often spoken about is so rarely a reality for most of us, and finding solace and support in unlikely places is more commonplace than you may expect!

Emma discusses openly her fertility challenges, her journey to becoming a mother, and airs her hopes and dreams for the future.

This intimate conversation closes the first season of this podcast. It's been an eye-opening, but reassuring and comforting experience to know women are never alone in this massive journey we embark upon, if you are seeking out support or care, it is always out there, you just have to look a little harder to find it.

Until next season (maybe!)

Sex education is not just for young people. In this episode sexpert Debbie Bere talks about how she's not only educating our youth about sex, but also re-educating our population and squashing pre-existing ideas about sex and porn. Sex and relationships affect our everyday lives, but as a society we're still squeamish talking about it. From STI's and contraception, to discussing consent and boundaries with children, Debbie gives listeners an insight into her world of sex education.
