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.

010 | Emma H - Maternal rage, emotional regulation & mental health (Part 1)
⚠️ This episode includes discussions about miscarriage, postpartum depression, suicide and experiences of maternal rage. Please take care while listening and reach out for support if needed.
Emma opens up about her journey through some of the darkest moments as a Mother, including her experiences with miscarriage, postpartum depression, intense maternal rage, and the impact on her mental health and relationships.
Emma shares how her initial steps into Motherhood were marked by loss, and how this shaped her perspective and longing to become a Mother. She recounts the emotional rollercoaster of early postpartum life, moments of overwhelming rage, and the heartbreaking night that became her breaking point and catalyst for seeking help.
This episode is both a powerful reminder that Mothers are not alone in their struggles and an inspiring story of resilience. Emma's insights into mental health, self-compassion, and the importance of finding safe support systems are invaluable for any parent feeling isolated or misunderstood. Join us as we peel back the layers of Motherhood's rawest emotions, revealing both the pain and hope on the other side.
