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?
022 | Danni W - Twin Motherhood, identity shifts & expectations
In this episode of Can We Fkn Talk?, I sit down with the incredible Danni Whiley, who went from living a busy, adventurous life with her own business to the unexpected journey of becoming a twin Mum. We dive deep into the identity shift she experienced and how her whole world changed the moment she found out she was expecting twins. Danni shares the emotional rollercoaster of navigating late postpartum depression and anxiety, shedding light on the silent struggles so many Mums face but rarely talk about.
We get real about the pressure to be the “perfect” Mum, the guilt of not being able to do it all, and the raw truth of juggling two babies at once. Danni talks candidly about the challenges of balancing her own identity with the demands of Motherhood, including the emotional toll of letting go of her grooming business to find a new path that aligned with her needs as a Mum.
We also explore the expectations and judgements that come with Motherhood, the reality of needing a strong support system, and the pivotal role childcare played in maintaining her mental health. Danni’s honesty about feeling isolated despite being surrounded by people is something every Mum can relate to, especially when the village you expected doesn’t quite show up the way you hoped.
