Do you believe in mothers' intuition? That gut sense or ‘knowing’ that something may be up with your child…

We also speak with psychic grandma, Julie Lewin to hear her thoughts, and we look to the future and get our cards read!

Motherhood has a profound way of forcing us to face our demons… even ones we didn’t realise we had buried inside.

In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, we chat with former reality TV star, author and content creator Tara Pavlovic-Shepherdson whose life has transformed since becoming a mum of two.

She tells us about the “woo-woo” therapy that’s helped heal forgotten childhood wounds, how prioritising exercise and improving her diet has made her a better mum, and how proud she is of the way she’s raising her babies with husband Nick.

There’s a reason we fell in love with her on The Bachelor; this mumma always keeps it real!

Starting a family was the furthest thing from Logan Brown’s mind. As a transgender man, he was undergoing hormone replacement therapy, and was in a relatively new relationship. But despite the odds, it happened.

Logan started blogging about his pregnancy journey, and quickly garnered a lot of attention… even from Anna Wintour who secured him for the front cover of Glamour UK’s pride edition.

His daughter Nova was born last year, and Logan joins us for this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, to chat about it all. It’s a vulnerable and surprising conversation, that is sure to remind you that we may be diverse but we are not so different.

There is such an exciting buzz around women’s sport at the moment, and as we just saw at the Paris Olympics, the mums are certainly well-represented!

One of those mums is Keesja Gofers… a proud member of the Aussie Stingers waterpolo team, who just returned home with a silver medal. Adding to that impressive accomplishment, is the fact she only gave birth to her daughter Teleri, last year!

In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, we ask Keesja what it takes to be an elite athlete and mum, how she got her postpartum body Olympics ready, and how it felt celebrating her success in Paris with her little girl.
