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?
024 | Solo Episode - Four Years Into Motherhood
In this solo ep, I’m getting all up in my feels as I reflect on four years of Motherhood. With my daughter’s birthday around the corner, I have found myself comparing who I was in year one - running on no sleep, second-guessing every decision, trying to keep a tiny human alive - to who I am now: a Mum who’s way more solid in herself, who’s done the work, and who’s still learning every single day.
I talk about the difference between reacting and responding, what it actually means to be regulated (hint: it’s not about being calm 24/7), and how finding myself again has made me a better parent. We also dive into the grief of your kids growing up, the pride that punches you in the heart, and why duality matters - because yes, you can love your kids and still find parenting fkn hard.
This one’s for the Mums who are in the thick of it, wondering if they’re doing a good job (you are), questioning if it’s okay to want more (it is), and trying to hold it all without losing themselves in the process (because it is possible).
It’s a big, honest reflection - and I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone, you're not doing it wrong, and you don’t have to fit into anyone else’s box. Let’s chat about what it means to grow with our kids and discover ourselves in the process.
Send me a message - I'd love to chat!
