      <image:title>Blog | - A letter to the person who saved me - But Austin, you didn’t just save your mumma. You saved three people: your Mum, your Ganny and your Pa. And that makes you their superhero too! Pa often tears up while talking about you, but not because he’s a silly, old man. Well, he is a silly, old man; but it’s mainly because you just light up their world! They lost their son and YOU helped them heal.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog | - Becoming a mother changes your friendships - Tracey’s story: My best friend, Ash and I have known each other since High School. We are soul mates through and through, with similar interests and personalities… we understand each other on a deep level. Over the years our friendship has overcome living in separate countries (twice!), navigating mental health problems, a divorce and three children.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog | - Becoming a mother changes your friendships - Ve’s story: Navigating friendship in motherhood has been a rollercoaster—full of ups and downs. I started this wild journey at 16, and let me tell you, I lost a lot of friends back then. But the ones who stuck around? They’re still my besties today. They became my kids’ “aunties,” even though our lives couldn’t have been more different. They were carefree teens and young adults, while I was, well, figuring out how to keep a tiny human alive. Finding mom friends was like hunting for a unicorn. I was always the youngest mom in the room, feeling like the odd one out because my life looked nothing like theirs. One mom, who was much older but had her first child as a teen, was a lifesaver.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog | - I lost my libido when I became a mum - Navigating a sex life with your partner when there are kids involved is tricky. It’s something that takes time and simply can't be rushed. When you don’t want sex, you need to communicate exactly that. You also need to make space for your partner to communicate what they are missing. If he wanted to go to pound town multiple times a week, then I'd be flipping the bird and asking him to come back with a more reasonable request. But please know that, just as parenting small kids is a season, so is the roller-coaster ride that is your sex life. There can be so many exhilarating moments, but you can also find yourself suddenly stuck at the top of a hill due to a mechanical issue.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When you've had a tough day parenting small kids, the last thing you want to do is feign interest in a bulging penis staring directly at you.</image:caption>
