What constitutes a good relationship and then explore what fosters that.
Hello, and welcome to our final episode of Season 9 of the She Births Show Podcast
Today’s episode is extra special because it is a conversation with my beautiful son Leroy, who is now 22 years old.
We start our dialogue about what constitutes a good relationship and then explore what fosters that.
We ended up going into some deep dives about education and values at home, the importance of community and teachers, the importance of self expression and freedom that we give to our children.
We discuss in reflection the priorities that I have endeavoured to bring into my parenting with Leroy – to see if he also thinks they were a good idea.
We were going to talk about intuition and Leroy does mention intuition a couple of times, but these topics seemed a lot more relevant for you, our audience.
I will have more conversations with Leroy I hope on the show because a parent child relationship is always in the process of change and growth. As he was talking about adolescence, and his experience of identity changes, it felt so relevant to our new understanding of matresence and patresence (and even menopause and andropause too).
I wonder if as a society we can hold more compassion for all of these phases of change. Then, we can also connect and feel the privilege of having so many deep feelings across these times, as Leroy explains, he even misses them.
We chat about my regrets as a mum and regulation of the nervous system. Plus, the latest research and discoveries about our awakened brain. The protection of spirituality and connection and perspective in our lives. As you will hear he is a very intelligent and very insightful young man. If I do say so myself.
He is my greatest gift, and I couldn’t be prouder. But we certainly are notperfect as you will hear in the conversation as well. (There is some swearing so only for adult ears.)

I hope you have a few laughs and I look forward to sharing more conversations with you next season, where we’re going to launch with an amazing chat about boobs and feeding our babies
It is winter here in Australia so it feels like time to go a little bit quieter and more inward.
I’m finding my energy is deeply creative right now within the cooler months. As I dive into the finer details of editingmy book, I just changed the title. And funnily enough, I was reminded that this was the title I had 5 years ago when I first sparked the thought.
The creative process is a wild one, and I feel really grateful to be in it as grateful as I am almost to being a mum.
Sending lots of love to you and your tribe. Please help others by sharing this episode or reviewing it – as we’d love to hear from you too.
What touched you and what do you want to hear more of?
Have a beautiful birth, enjoy your parenting and live a life that you love.
