There can be so many challenges when it comes to motherhood - but the mum guilt, and push/pull of working and being a mum is one that many of our listeners reach out about.

She is the co-founder of KIC, an incredible company she started with her best friend Laura Henshaw to change the relationship that people have with wellness and themselves. She is also the mum to gorgeous 2 year old Harvey - and shares so openly and authentically about the struggles and public criticism she has faced being the parent who returned to work.In this podcast we chat to Steph about:How Steph and her husband Josh made the decision for her to return to work and whether it was always part of the planWhat Josh did for work prior to becoming a stay at home dad, and how he is coping with the arrangementWhen Steph returned to work after the birth of Harvey and how she made this work logisticallyBreastfeeding as a working mum and the challenges and stress that aroseAll things mum guilt and the public criticism that Steph endured online for being a working mum, as well as the comments and questions made towards JoshParental preference and how being the working parent has influnced Steph’s relationship with HarveyThe mental load and whether this is less now that Steph isn’t the at home parentand so much more!Steph is so down to earth, genuine and inspiring.

Boob to Food - the podcast, is brought to you by Luka McCabe and Kate Holm. There is so much noise in the parenting space (and we don't mean the tantruming toddler). We understand that it can feel confusing, conflicting and overwhelming. That's why we are bringing our years of experience as a midwife, nutritionist and naturopath - and mothers of 5 children between us, to help other mothers and families confidently navigate the rollercoaster of motherhood, from Boob to Food, and beyond. Each week on the podcast we will be sharing practical wisdom, interviewing experts in all things motherhood, health and parenting as well as interviewing inspirational mothers to share their stories about their parenting journey.
