If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a little while now, you'll know I am pregnant at the moment - in fact, very pregnant! So in this episode, I’ve invited my friend and fellow podcaster Kylie Lately to talk about all things pregnancy:

• navigating the transition into motherhood & learning about the term matrescence
• the tools I’ve learnt to mentally prepare for birth (spoiler alert: they're really helpful)
• the podcasts and books I’ve loved
• my own honest experience of pregnancy

It’s a very relaxed conversation but I’m hoping you’ll find it helpful and perhaps make you feel a little less alone if you’re also expecting. If you're not, please share it with the pregnant people in your life.

This week Earth Day asks us to focus on climate change & the things we can do to make a difference, but it can often feel like an overwhelming problem with minimal solutions & maximum anxiety. So how can we take these paralysing emotions that leave us wanting to bury our head in the sand & turn them into something positive that’s actually helpful?

Associate Professor Leslie Davenport is a Climate Psychology Consultant.
