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?
012 | Carlie S - Identity shifts, resilience & being a working Mum (Part 1)
⚠️ This episode contains discussions about infertility, postpartum struggles, and mental health challenges, including feelings of inadequacy and distress. Listener discretion is advised.
In this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Carlie Schofield, who opens up about her raw and honest journey through Motherhood. From navigating infertility and PCOS to the challenges of postpartum recovery, Carlie shares her struggles with the mental load, feeding guilt, and the overwhelming identity shift that comes with becoming a Mum.
We dive into the messy and beautiful realities of parenting, returning to work while battling Mum guilt, and how having a second child helped her let go of perfectionism. Carlie’s vulnerability and insights are a reminder that it’s okay to feel all the emotions that come with this life-changing transition.
Whether you're a new Mum, a seasoned parent, or somewhere in between, this episode will resonate with anyone navigating the highs and lows of Motherhood.
