  #30 Why Does Rest Feel So Uncomfortable?

  Sep 27, 202657 minS3

  Why can slowing down feel harder than pushing through? In this episode, Jess and Emily unpack our complicated relationship with rest — from productivity, achievement and the pressure to be the woman who can handle everything, to the biology of stress, recovery and total load. We explore why r est can trigger guilt, anxiety and discomfort, how women can become so good at tolerating too much, and what happens when wellness itself becomes another thing to achieve. Because rest isn't something you earn when everything is finished. Your body isn't a productivity machine — and sometimes slowing down is exactly what allows you to hear what it's been trying to tell you.

  #29 Studied, But Not Understood w Dr Meg Doohan: What Women’s Health Research Still Doesn’t Know.

  Sep 20, 202653 minS3

  For decades, women’s bodies were underrepresented in research — but how amazing that this narrative is starting to change. In this episode, we’re joined by PhD researcher and clinician Dr Meg Doohan for a conversation of two avenues. First, we unpack the research: what women’s health science actually tells us, where the gaps still are, how to tell good evidence from “science-based” wellness marketing, and what Meg’s research into the menstrual cycle, heat stress and cognition is revealing about female physiology. We then move to exploring what happens when reproductive healthcare intersects within the mental health population, why some of the most vulnerable women experience poorer reproductive health outcomes, and what genuine trauma-informed care can look like. This is a conversation about the science, the gaps, and the women living in the space between the two.

  #28 The Her Health Whole-Being Framework: Understanding our System of Systems

  Sep 13, 202643 minS3

  Your body doesn’t exist in isolation — so why do we keep trying to understand women’s health that way? Jess and Emily explore Her Health’s Whole-Being Framework: a way of understanding health through the relationship between physiology, the nervous system, environment and behaviour. This episode challenges the search for the one thing to fix and invites you to become more curious about the bigger system shaping how you feel.

  #27 Beyond the Birth Plan with Shauna Browne: Preparing Your Body, Building Confidence & Knowing Your Choices

  Sep 6, 202654 minS3

  Birth preparation is often reduced to packing a hospital bag, writing a birth plan and hoping for the best. But what if preparing your body could also help you feel more confident, informed and capable of navigating whatever birth brings? In this episode, we chat with Shauna Browne, Women’s Health Physiotherapist at The Healthy Peach in Brisbane, about what women aren't always told about preparing for birth. Together, we unpack the role of pelvic health physiotherapy throughout pregnancy, the physical and physiological preparation that can support labour, and how understanding your body can change the way you approach birth. We explore birth choices, pelvic floor preparation, breathing, perineal massage, labour positions, fear and the nervous system, as well as what preparation can — and can't — influence when it comes to birth outcomes and postpartum recovery. This isn't about creating the "perfect" birth or controlling an unpredictable experience. It's about giving women the knowledge, skills and confidence to understand their bodies, participate in decisions and feel more prepared for the transition into motherhood.

  #26 The Pursuit of Perfect Health

  Aug 30, 202645 minS3

  We have more access to information about our bodies than ever before — sleep scores, HRV, cycle tracking, recovery metrics, supplements, blood tests and endless wellness advice. But is all this information actually helping us understand our bodies, or is it making us more afraid of getting them “wrong”? In this episode, Jess and Emily unpack the rise of health optimisation and the pressure many women feel to constantly monitor, improve and fix themselves. They explore the difference between body awareness and body surveillance, why physiological fluctuations are normal, and how we can use data and science without losing trust in our own lived experience. Ultimately, this is a conversation about moving from control to curiosity, optimisation to adaptation, and self-improvement to self-trust. Love Jess & Em
