In this Special Easter Sunday episode we thank defiant pagan women & the Goddess, Eostre, for all the tasty bits about this festival. A time of celebration & new birth it is fitting that in this weeks episode of the Collective we have a lovely guest, Kerrie Preston, Mum of two boys, 5yrs & 5 months, founder of Teddy & Millie teething necklaces and also writer of a mum blog, The Midnight Mum Club. Kerrie opens up about how her second pregnancy differed during a pandemic and the highs and lows of birthing, how her partner nearly missed it, and overcoming post natal health issues whilst in lockdown. We learn the challenges for both mum & midwife of building a relationship over the phone or through PPE & that even in the latter stages of labour and post birth the difficulties new mums have to overcome in a lockdown.Kerrie gives us 3 brilliant tips for life and they really will resonate with most women. Jinty and Lou discuss their WI’s and has Jinty completed her crotchet square yet? Lou is very honest about how she is getting on with her gut health challenge from Jinty! The book collective chat through chapters 11-15 of Caitlin Moran’s More Than A woman. We discuss the patriarchy and why we should all give the men in our life flowers, and agree dungarees are Big Bum Proof. Jinty tells us why hangovers are worse as we get older. We hear from a member of the collective, Laura, who has another Migraine tip and an intriguing question, will you know the answer?So put the kettle on and settle down to enjoy the Collective this Sunday.Please subscribe and leave a review if you like what you hear.
