This week on In Her Season, we’re joined by Alastair, co-owner of Vision House Studios, for an honest and thoughtful conversation exploring fatherhood through his eyes.

Alastair shares his experience of becoming a father, speaking openly about birth, early parenthood, and the profound shifts that come with stepping into this role. We explore what those early days really feel like — the mix of awe and uncertainty, the quiet responsibility, the learning curve, and the moments that stay with you long after the room goes quiet.

As someone who spends his days behind the lens, Alastair reflects on how fatherhood has reshaped the way he sees the world, his work, and himself. We talk about life behind the camera, presence over perfection, and how creativity and parenting often mirror each other in unexpected ways.

This conversation also holds space for the emotional realities of fatherhood that are not always spoken about — the pressure to be strong, the internal processing that happens quietly, and the importance of creating space for honesty and reflection as men navigate parenthood.

Warm, grounded, and deeply human, this episode offers a rare glimpse into fatherhood beyond the highlights and expectations. It’s a conversation about love, growth, identity, and learning as you go — filled with heart, honesty, and real-life moments.

Whether you’re a parent, supporting one, or simply curious about the many ways people move through these seasons of change, this episode invites connection, understanding, and compassion.

This week on In Her Season, we introduce a new format with our very first Round Table episode.

A round table conversation is a shared discussion where clinical insight and lived experience come together. Rather than a traditional interview, this format allows questions to be explored collaboratively, with evidence-based knowledge offered in a way that is accessible, grounded, and connected to real experiences of women’s bodies.

For this episode, we are joined by Dr Lucy Haymes for an open conversation about periods, menstrual cycles, and hormones.

Together, we explore the rhythms of the female body, hormonal changes across different life stages, and how cycles can influence energy, mood, fertility, and overall wellbeing. We unpack experiences many women share, yet are rarely given the space or language to fully understand.

This conversation is educational without being overwhelming, grounded without being clinical, and affirming of the complexity of women’s health. It is not about fixing, optimising, or pathologising the body — but about learning, understanding, and reconnecting.

Whether you are navigating your own cycle, supporting your hormonal health, or seeking clear insight explained in a human way, this episode offers clarity, validation, and reassurance.

Season Two begins with a familiar voice.

In the first episode of Season Two of In Her Season, we sit with one of the hearts behind the space.

Co-host, birth doula and birth educator Alana shares her personal journey into motherhood, and the lived experiences that have shaped both who she is and the way she supports women today.

She reflects on her own pregnancies, birth stories, and early motherhood, and how moving through these seasons has deepened her understanding of birth, trust, and support. This conversation is anchored in real experience, honest reflection, and the quiet wisdom that comes from becoming a mother yourself.

A steady, grounding opening to the season.

One that honours birth as lived, felt, and remembered.

If you’re preparing for birth, reflecting on your own journey, or simply seeking a conversation that feels calm and true, this episode is for you.
