This week on the Barely Balanced Podcast, we sit down with the beautiful Kayla Gane — mum to little Vera and currently expecting baby number two!
Together, we dive into the real and raw sides of motherhood: how parenting styles can evolve, what it means to truly collaborate with your partner (even on the messy days), and the unexpected ways body image shifts as your family grows.
Kayla opens up about her journey, shares heartfelt insights, and reminds us all that there’s no one ‘right’ way to do this parenting thing — just the way that feels most authentic for your family.
It’s honest, funny, and deeply relatable — whether you’re a new mum, soon-to-be mum, or just love peeking behind the curtain of someone else’s motherhood story.
Tune in for a chat that feels like a warm cup of tea with friends.
