Our code READYORNOT will get you 20% off your order over $AU85 at gotoskincare.com!Lu found Charley Vokoun on Instagram via her glorious Instagram account, Book Smut. It’s a place where she shares all the books she’s reading with her engaged, book loving followers, and as one of those followers, it was incredible to later learn that it was a psychologist that influenced her to start the page. She was navigating recurrent miscarriages, and sharing her poetic reviews and bookish adventures became a way to cope and navigate it all. Here, we talk about that very emotional rollercoaster and what it was like to meet her baby after such an intense period, the hardest part of navigating motherhood and career, her reflections on trying to let go of control, and how she’s learned to advocate for herself in her male dominated industry. Plus, we get all her bookish tips!—This episode is brought to you by Go-To and their Very Luxe Face Cream.

• Leoni Hess on becoming a mum four weeks after losing her own

  This episode is brought to you by Go-To Skincare! Our code READYORNOT will get you 20% off your order over $AU85 at gotoskincare.com!Imagine losing your mum just four weeks before becoming a mum yourself. This was the reality for today’s guest Leoni Hess, and when she wrote to us as a longtime listener, we knew we had to share her story. Not only did she have to navigate this duality of life coming and life going and what that would mean for the start of her motherhood journey, but she also had to handle death admin, working, travelling between states, and preparing for parental leave, too. Here, we talk about the pressure of being the glue that holds a family together, why she – despite adoring her in-laws – found it difficult to have her mother in law around her new baby when her own mum couldn’t be there, and what it’s been like learning how to be a mother without her own. —This episode is brought to you by Go-To and their Very Luxe Face Cream.
