Can We Fkn Talk?

By: Ashleigh Scrivener
  • Summary

  • Have you ever had that moment in Motherhood where you’ve wondered, “Why did no one tell me this BEFORE I had a baby?” Well I’m here to change all that by having the conversations you wish you had before becoming a parent.

    I’m Ashleigh Scrivener, a Connective Parenting and Mindset Coach passionate about supporting Mums to put themselves first so that you have the capacity to respond to your child’s needs and connect not only to yourself but your kids as well. With over 10 years in the early childhood education and care industry, I know a thing or two about early childhood development, children’s behaviour and supporting families through the early years, but when I became a parent myself, I felt like a fish out of water. I love supporting Mums find more ease in their parenting, personal and professional lives while saying goodbye to Mum guilt for good.

    This show will feature conversations, stories, helpful tips and parenting support from guest experts and parents with the goal of sharing publicly the conversations every Mum needs to hear.

    Jan 21 2025

    In this episode of Can We Fkn Talk?, I chat with Cassie Arrowgros, the brilliant mind behind Big Little Wins, a transformative community for Mums in Logan (Qld, Aus). We reflect on how Motherhood holds up a mirror to both our strengths and our vulnerabilities, revealing areas for growth we never knew existed. Cassie opens up about her journey to creating a space where Mums can feel supported, seen, and empowered through humour, respect, and empathy.

    We also discuss the mental load in relationships, the importance of rebalancing responsibilities post-baby, and why effective communication is essential to reduce resentment and foster connection. Cassie shares relatable stories about parenting challenges, from sensory overload to moments of self-doubt, and how the power of community has helped her and others navigate these tough phases.

    Whether you're seeking solidarity, advice, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone in your parenting journey, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we dive into the beauty of shared experiences and the strength that comes from leaning into a village.
