Can We Fkn Talk?
Have you ever had that moment in Motherhood where you’ve wondered, “Why did no one tell me this BEFORE I had a baby?” Well I’m here to change all that by having the conversations you wish you had before becoming a parent.
I’m Ashleigh Scrivener, a Connective Parenting and Mindset Coach passionate about supporting Mums to put themselves first so that you have the capacity to respond to your child’s needs and connect not only to yourself but your kids as well. With over 10 years in the early childhood education and care industry, I know a thing or two about early childhood development, children’s behaviour and supporting families through the early years, but when I became a parent myself, I felt like a fish out of water. I love supporting Mums find more ease in their parenting, personal and professional lives while saying goodbye to Mum guilt for good.
This show will feature conversations, stories, helpful tips and parenting support from guest experts and parents with the goal of sharing publicly the conversations every Mum needs to hear.

Can We Fkn Talk?
008 | Nita I - Abusive relationship and an abortion to redefining Motherhood (Part 1)
⚠️ Trigger warning: In this episode, we discuss topics like abusive relationships, abortion, and postpartum mental health challenges. Please listen with care and pause if you need to.
In this episode of Can We Fkn Talk?, I sit down with the incredible Nita to dive into her powerful journey into Motherhood. Nita opens up about her experience of finding herself in an abusive relationship at 21 and facing the gut-wrenching decision to end a pregnancy - a choice that deeply influenced her path forward. Years later, she would find herself in a supportive, loving relationship, navigating the joys and challenges of Motherhood again but from an entirely new place.
We discuss the realities many Mothers face but rarely talk about - her partner’s early fears of Fatherhood, the intense emotions of postpartum, and how she found her way through identity shifts and societal pressures. Nita shares the ways she’s healed and how she’s redefined Motherhood for herself, breaking cycles of trauma and embracing her own unique path.
This episode is all about resilience, compassion, and the courage to ask for help. Join us for a candid conversation that shines a light on the unfiltered truths of becoming a parent. And don’t miss part two, where we continue this meaningful discussion on motherhood, identity, and self-discovery.
