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.

In this final episode of Season One, we pause for a moment between seasons to reflect on what In Her Season has grown into. What began as a space for honest conversations about womanhood and motherhood has become a community shaped by the stories, wisdom, and courage of the women and practitioners who joined us this year.

Alana and Emily share their personal reflections on 2025 — the lessons, the growth, the softness, the women they’ve supported, and the work that has unfolded behind the scenes in Alba Moon and their own lives. They speak about slowing down, trusting what’s meant to grow, creating with intention, and welcoming the unexpected beauty of this season.

We also look ahead to 2026, with more collaboration, more connection, and more spaces for women to feel supported, seen, and held.

As we wrap up the year, we want to thank every listener, every guest, and our incredible studio team for being part of this journey.

Season Two returns January 8th.

Wherever this season meets you, we hope you find rest, connection, and moments that feel like coming home.

In this episode of In Her Season, host Emily, founder of Alba Moon, shares her deeply personal journey into motherhood and the work that grew from it.

Emily is a postpartum doula, supporting women and families in the tender season after birth. Through Alba Moon, she offers grounded, compassionate care — holding space, honouring each family’s unique story, and supporting mothers as they integrate the physical, emotional, and identity shifts of early motherhood.

In this conversation, Emily opens up about her own path to motherhood, including her experience with IVF and genetic testing, and how these chapters shaped both her personal journey and her calling to support others. She reflects on the vulnerability, uncertainty, and resilience that marked this season, and how it deepened her understanding of postpartum care.

Together, we explore the importance of being deeply supported after birth — creating memories that last a lifetime, telling your story with tenderness, and ensuring no mother feels rushed, dismissed, or alone.

This week on In Her Season, we sit down with Naomi from Flourish Homeopathy — a practitioner devoted to supporting couples through the deeply personal and often vulnerable journey toward conception.

With a grounding in classical homeopathy and whole-person care, Naomi helps individuals and couples explore their unique fertility landscape — from emotional patterns and physical imbalances to energetic health and the quiet cues our bodies offer when we’re supported to slow down and truly listen.

Naomi opens up the layered truth of the conception journey: The hope and uncertainty, the tenderness, the quiet grief, the hormonal shifts, the stress, the identity questions, and the deep longing that sits beneath it all.

Her work honours the full complexity of fertility — creating space for honesty, compassion, and the kind of gentle, individualised support that couples deserve but so often don’t receive.

This conversation is a reminder that the path to conception is rarely linear or simple — and never something anyone should feel they must carry alone. It deserves patience, understanding, community, and care that sees the whole person, not just the outcome.

If you’re currently on the conception journey, supporting someone who is, or wanting to understand this season with more depth and compassion — this episode offers grounding, gentleness, and the reassurance that your feelings are valid.

In this episode of In Her Season, we sit down with Dr Chelsea Todd — a holistic wellbeing practitioner whose work centres on supporting women through matrescence and the lived realities of motherhood. With a background spanning psychology, yoga, and Ayurveda, Dr Chelsea helps women understand their emotional landscape, reconnect with their bodies, and navigate this profound transition with compassion and clarity.

Dr Chelsea shares the layered truth of matrescence:

the emotional shifts, the physical changes, the identity transformations, the overwhelm, and the gentle process of returning to yourself in a new and evolving form.

Her work honours the complexity of motherhood — creating space for rest, nervous system regulation, embodied practices, and daily rituals that allow women to feel grounded and supported, rather than stretched or alone.

This conversation is a reminder that matrescence is not a phase to push through, but a deep transition that reshapes every part of who we are — deserving of patience, understanding, and community.

Whether you’re moving through your own motherhood transformation, supporting a mother in this season, or seeking to understand the depth of matrescence more fully — this episode offers grounding, gentleness, and the reassurance that you don’t have to walk it alone.

Anger can also be a symptom of Postpartum Anxiety, Postpartum Depression and more. If you’re concerned about your mental health please seek support from a health profession and connect with professional support.

In this episode of In Her Season, we sit down with Angela from Dune Seven Nutrition & Movement Coaching — a coach dedicated to helping women rebuild through postpartum strength, nourishment, and sustainable recovery.

Angela brings a deeply grounded perspective on what it truly means to return to strength after birth — not through pressure or perfection, but through steady, no-fluff support that honours the realities of postpartum life.

She shares the layered truth of rebuilding after motherhood:

the physical recovery, the emotional shifts, the exhaustion, the identity changes, and the quiet process of reconnecting with yourself through small, sustainable habits. We also speak about how depression can influence the way women feel in this season, and the importance of recognising when you need support and reaching out for it.

Angela’s approach is a powerful reminder that postpartum is not a bounce-back season — it’s a rebuild. A redefining. A remembering of strength in its most honest, lived-in form.

Whether you’re navigating your own postpartum journey, supporting a mother through recovery, or wanting to understand the depth of this season more fully — this episode offers grounding, compassion, and the reassurance that you’re not meant to do it alone.
