In this week's episode I speak to Leah, mum to 11 month old Esther. Leah is an occupational therapist and shares how this has impacted her parenting style.  She also talks about the experience of being evacuated from her family home with her newborn daughter during Sydney's devastating bushfire season in 2020, including how she managed to pack up all of her memories while being in the newborn haze. Leah also discusses how important visiting a women's physio was to her, and how it helped her recover from her episiotomy - which is something all mums should consider once they've had their clearance from a doctor.
