"Your children don’t need you to be anything other than human."
This week on Happy Mum Happy Baby: The Podcast, Dr Julie talks about perfection, parenting and letting go of the expectations we place on ourselves.
Sharing her insight as a Clinical Psychologist and as a mother of three, Dr Julie shares why getting things ‘wrong’ with your children isn’t something to fear. Because the way we handle our mistakes can be a powerful lesson to teach.
They also talk about the importance of finding other mums who are in it with you - ones you can be real with, laugh with and relate too.
How can mums better understand and manage feelings of anger?
On Happy Mum Happy Baby: Parenting SOS, we spoke to Psychologist Dr Caroline Boyd all about maternal rage.
Anger is a very common experience for mothers, triggered by the stresses of modern motherhood. As women we’ve been socialised to keep a lid on our anger, but it’s not something we can (or should) simply eliminate.
But what about the shame that can follow an outburst? And how can we move through that anger in a healthier way? That’s exactly what we explore in this week’s episode!

Anger is a natural response to the overwhelming demands of motherhood in today’s society. Many of us feel pressure to be supermums - calm, coping and in control at all times - and were raised to see anger as a ‘forbidden’ emotion for women. This often means our feelings stay simmering under the surface, until we reach a breaking point.
On this month’s episode of Happy Mum Happy Baby: Parenting SOS, Dr Caroline Boyd shares her insight on what happens to us when we’re angry, how can we move through the emotion, and letting go of the inevitable guilt that comes after an angry reaction.

Pregnancy after loss can feel like a swinging pendulum - hope and fear, joy and anxiety, optimism and worry.
In our episode of Parenting SOS from 2023, @zoeadelle discusses how the journey through pregnancy after loss is constantly evolving. It’s a path that requires taking each day as it comes, honouring your grief and acknowledging that this time will be difficult - and that’s okay. Yet, it’s equally important to embrace the moments of joy and hold on to hope and optimism for the future.
The statistic of 1 in 4 pregnancy’s end in loss can weigh heavily on your mind, but that means there’s a 3 in 4 chance of survival.
