Making Babies With The Burtts

Business Marriage

This week on Business Marriage we are entering the metaphorical time machine as we go back in time to Hayley’s first-ever podcasting efforts with her own show which was called The Family Unfiltered Podcast. In the inaugural episode of that show titled, Making Babies with The Burtts they delved into the journey of creating our two small little humans (don’t worry, not the graphic details!), the peer pressure of having kids once you hit 30, ovulation sticks, pregnancy tests and the grand or should we say non-grand unveiling of pregnancy, the early and scary days of new parent life and also reflect on our life back then, the pressures we faced and the adaptations we made as a family …the biggest which actually led to the birth of Family Unfiltered which was the catalyst to Hayley starting her business, that you might have heard her share a fair few times!

In this show, we discuss:

• Deciding we wanted to have children
• The journey of pregnancy (pee sticks, tiredness and braxton hix!)
• Working out how you actually raise a small human
• Swapping careers for nappies
• The loneliness Hayley felt in the first two years of being a mum
