This week I am joined by my first ever guest on the Birth Like A Badass Podcast, Keisha Boutwood! Keisha is a beautiful mama bear to 2 little humans, and on this weeks episode she shares her story about experiencing prolapse after the very fast arrival of her second Bub, Lenny. What’s interesting about Keisha’s story is that her prolapse wasn’t diagnosed until almost 3 years after the birth of her son. We speak about her 2 very different birth experiences. The trauma and lack of support she received after a post birth haemorrhage. How the hospital system let her down in her recovery. The different kinds of prolapse that can be experienced after birth. What her prolapse experience actually looked like. How she FINALLY got diagnosed. And her now road to recovery. What I loved about this episode is that it challenged my idea of what prolapse actually looks like. For me, I’ve always seen prolapse as extreme, insides coming out type thing, however this was not her experience at all. Given that 50% of first time mothers will experience a prolapse of some kind, I highly recommend EVERY mama or mama to be, listen in on this episode to inform yourselves of what to look for in regards to possible post part prolapse. Keisha has also said she is happy for any listeners to connect with her if you too are experiencing prolapse / think you may be. Sending so much love and thanks for listening.

In this episode I open up and speak very vulnerably and honestly about what it really makes to not only attract, but hold a soulmate union. I know there is a belief out there that soulmate relationships are EASY, you never fight and it’s all rainbows and unicorn farts all day long, which I think sets people up for massive failure and also causes people to walk away from soulmate connection because it’s not living up to the expectation of it being EASY. Soooo, in this episode, I wanted to star some insight into what it is really like to experience a soulmate union, how to attract it into your life and how to powerfully HOLD IT and navigate it once it is received. This is a super powerful and potent transmission, so PLEASE share it with your community and anyone you know needs to hear this. Thank you, I am eternally grateful that you are here and I appreciate and love you so so much. Enjoy my loves, Nikii x

Hey mama, This week on the poddy I bring some REAL TALK! I LOVE my kids, but boy oh boy, do I HATE parenting! This parenting gig is TOUGH! and as you know, I am here to have the REAL conversations about this stuff. There’s times when I have questioned whether I am a good mother. Whether I even like my kids at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I thought it was my kids I hated and the guilt and shame that that brought with it was HEAVY AS F! Obvs I don’t hate my kids. They bring me so so much joy and love. So just to be crystal clear. I LOVE MY KIDS. I would kill and die for them. But... I HATE PARENTING! It SUCKS BALLS for me. Legit...parenting is the BIGGEST head fK we will ever experience. It’s boring. It’s mundane at times. It’s all consuming. And it flat out SUX! Parenting is TOUGH! It’s challenging, all consuming and NOT my zone of genius! Haha And while I LOVE my kids with all of my being, there’s times I wish I could just be the fun Aunty and give them back at the end of the day 😂 REAL TALK! Haha, so anyway, I hope that you enjoy this episode and if you are like me, and find parenting challenging as fuck, you can find some solace in knowing that you are NOT alone mama. I see you. I am you. We are in this together! Big Love, Nikii x

Hey mama, In this weeks episode I have a real and raw chat about a topic that I believe, is not spoken about enough. The mourning of our old life we can experience when we become mums for the first time and sometimes after subsequent births as well. Each birth is an initiation into a new version of ourselves, and it can feel scary as heck to go from being this free, independent, not really responsible for anyone other than ourselves woman... To being completely responsible for a tiny human, having no real idea what we are doing, navigating the cocktail of hormones surging through our system, and having a human attached to us constantly. It can feel like 'WHAT THE HECK HAVE I DONE?' and 'IS THIS ALL I AM NOW?' I hope this episode gifts you the opportunity to allow yourself to truly feel what is alive for you, without judging yourself or making it wrong, as well as some support and insight on how to navigate the first couple of weeks as a new mumma. Sending so much love, and of course, come find me on instagram and facebook for more x Love, Nikii x

Welcome back to the show mama! This weeks episode is a bit of a light hearted one...or at least that's how I hope you feel after listening to it, especially about the BIRTH POO! The Birth Poo and What To Do...I feel it needs no extra explanation. So enjoy the listen my love...at the very least I hope it makes you giggle. Big Love, Nikii x

I desperately wanted a daughter. To the point that for months when we were trying for our third, I was doing everything I could to make it happen. Only have sex at certain times and in certain positions, no orgasms, eating certain foods...anything. I was willing to try ANYTHING! I fell pregnant with what I knew was my baby girl, only to miscarry at 11.5 weeks. For whatever reason, it was not her time. Then I fell pregnant with Levi, and at our 20 week scan I learned that my desire to have a girl was not going to be fulfilled. I was heartbroken, but suppressed the feelings due to 'being grateful for a healthy baby boy'. In this very raw and vulnerable episode (yes, I cry) I talk about the journey of not feeling, to mourning the little girl I will never get to have. I feel these conversations are so important to have as we live in a world where we are taught to suppress our emotions and just be grateful for what we have. Of course, I am so grateful for my boys...AND, I am so utterly devastated that I will never have a daughter of my own. And THAT, gets to be honoured. Enjoy the episode and PLEASE reach out or comment if this is alive and real for you too. I am so here for you. Nikii x

Welcome Back Mama, On this episode I share the story of how Phoenix, my little firebird, came earth side. After the trauma of Griffin's birth, I felt robbed of my right to birth how I had wanted, so when I fell pregnant with Phoenix I was determined to go for VBAC. I self educated a bit, however still couldn't afford a private midwife or doula, and to be honest, I was still half assed about my prep for this birth. Much like his conception (he was a pre-cum baby, coming to this world when he decided), it turned out little P had his own timeline again. And yes, he is still one very determined and independent little man. Enjoy this episode my love. And remember to subscribe so you don't miss an episode.

Hey Gorgeous WOMAN! On this episode I share with you my first birth experience! I learned A LOT from this birth. I had chosen to trust the medical system. I hadn't self educated AT ALL. I had NO IDEA what my body did through birth. I was completely clueless and naive, didn't know my rights and was in A LOT of fear. Trigger warning : intervention, emergency c-section Enjoy x Join me on instagram @birth.likeabadass
