Perfect pod for a Twin Dad to be!
We’ve been on a journey with our soon to be here twins, having gone through IVF and got the news that our one embryo split, to give us double to joy!

Life changing
I know ‘life changing’ may sound dramatic for a podcast but this was transformative for me. I have always been against a second baby and listening to Alison and all the amazing woman, topics and insights on this podcast actually pushed me a little and gave me the confidence that I can have another baby!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Poorna Bell: Wanting more, the mental load and why it's important to weed your friendships

Q: How do you think women can start rebalancing the mental load in long-term relationships?

She emphasizes gentle detachment when weeding friendships, open communication about needs, and treating friendships as caretaking relationships similar to romantic ones, with honest conversations to course-correct before issues become unmanageable.

Poorna Bell: Wanting more, the mental load and why it's important to weed your friendships

Q: What are those expectations as you see it, and what impact do they have on women you know?

Poorna Bell describes how daily labor and emotional labor are still disproportionately borne by women in heterosexual relationships, and how generations of women have internalized and mythologized roles that preserve those inequities, even as they seek to redefine them in midlife.

10 Minute Confidence Boost: Shakira Akabusi

Q: Do you feel like you are a confident person? What does confidence mean to you?

She describes confidence as releasing the need to be perfect and choosing to show up as her best effort, accepting mistakes as part of growth and prioritising being a good person rather than chasing perfection.

Cariad Lloyd: talking to kids about death, the five stages of grief myth and why dark humour is healing

Q: What is your approach to language when discussing death with children to avoid confusion or fear?

Ask the child what terms they're comfortable with, prefer clear language about death (e.g., 'grandma died'), and tailor explanations to their level while avoiding euphemisms that can mislead.

Cariad Lloyd: talking to kids about death, the five stages of grief myth and why dark humour is healing

Q: Why do you think we still feel uncomfortable talking about death and grief, and how can parents navigate that for their kids?

The discomfort is learned; language around death has been restricted, but you should start conversations early with honest, age-appropriate language, use clear terms like 'died', and keep doors open for future questions as children grow.
