This week on Bread and Better, Tegan hosts a compelling discussion with the incredible Julia and co-host Alex, diving into the crucial topic of motherhood and mental health. Julia opens up about her experiences with egg freezing and postnatal depression, while Alex shares her own fertility struggles and her journey through pregnancy after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This candid conversation offers valuable insights for anyone navigating these vital aspects of women's mental health, family planning, and motherhood.

Trigger Warning: We would like to issue a trigger warning for this episode as it addresses sensitive topics related to mental health issues and suicide.

Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to not only discuss the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement and mindset space, and make real change.
