Beyond the Bump

Terms like ‘the manosphere’ and ‘toxic masculinity’ are thrown around a lot lately and it has many of us worried. How do we raise boys? What does a good man look like? We speak to Dr Billy Garvey, developmental paediatrician and father of three, about his new book and how to raise emotionally healthy boys. Regardless of whether you have a son or not, this episode is filled with parenting wisdom. After we establish that Dr Billy is the intellectual hall pass of half of the BTB team, we dive into…

“Your relationship with them trumps everything”

Love VS caregiving

Sexualisation and body image in males

We speak a lot about finding a village, but what do you do when you’ve moved across the world and find yourself starting from scratch? Kerrene Taylor (@kerrenetaylor) is an American mum living in Western Australia, documenting the honest reality of becoming a mother far from home - without the village most of us assumed we'd have. We discuss…

How Kerrene met her now-husband and moved to Perth

Moving into motherhood without a relationship with her mum

How Kerrene explored remothering herself before having children

The term ‘morning’ sickness needs to be cancelled

Her birth and postpartum journey as isolation crept in

Finding new friends is like dating (daunting!)

Becoming diagnosed with PND 

The spectrum of sleep help

Experiencing rage for the first real time and its impact on her relationship

A small window into the maternal experience in Australia VS the USA

Kerrene’s words of advice for new parents seeking a village

 

Listen to Kerrene’s podcast, the No Village Club where she shares her journey of building a village where she is now.
