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?
020 | Carly B - Resilience, empowerment & navigating single Motherhood
In this episode of Can We Fkn Talk?, I sit down with the incredible Carly Box - a single Mum of two, military veteran, and all-around powerhouse. Carly’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and learning how to truly thrive after life takes an unexpected turn.
We dive deep into her journey - from her career in the military to travelling the world, starting a business, and ultimately stepping into Motherhood. Carly opens up about the unexpected decision to become a parent, the challenges of navigating separation, and what it really takes to reclaim your identity when you feel like you've lost yourself in Motherhood. She challenges the idea that being a single Mum means struggling or sacrificing your own happiness, instead showing how choosing yourself can benefit not just you, but your children too.
We talk about the societal pressures that tell Mums they should put themselves last, the mindset shifts that changed everything for her, and why she refuses to let “tired” be her personality trait. Carly also calls out the myth that single Mums are “lucky” for getting breaks from their kids, offering a raw and real perspective on co-parenting and how communication - no matter how hard - can change everything.
