Can We Fkn Talk?
Podcast Description
Have you ever had that moment in Motherhood where you’ve wondered, “Why did no one tell me this BEFORE I had a baby?” Well I’m here to change all that by having the conversations you wish you had before becoming a parent. I’m Ashleigh Scrivener, a Connective Parenting and Mindset Coach passionate about supporting Mums to put themselves first so that you have the capacity to respond to your child’s needs and connect not only to yourself but your kids as well. With over 10 years in the early childhood education and care industry, I know a thing or two about early childhood development, children’s behaviour and supporting families through the early years, but when I became a parent myself, I felt like a fish out of water. I love supporting Mums find more ease in their parenting, personal and professional lives while saying goodbye to Mum guilt for good. This show will feature conversations, stories, helpful tips and parenting support from guest experts and parents with the goal of sharing publicly the conversations every Mum needs to hear.Ash | Personal Development for Ambitious Working Mums 🧠🌶️💻 (@_ashscrivener)

In this episode of Can We Fkn Talk?, I welcome back the incredible Lurinda for part two of her story – a no-filter, deeply vulnerable journey through separation, solo parenting, personal growth, and ultimately rekindling her relationship.
We unpack the raw truth of what it really looks like to choose yourself in the messiest seasons – navigating solo Motherhood, facing the possibility of never having your own biological children, confronting past traumas, and slowly rebuilding a new kind of love after heartbreak.
Lurinda shares how shadow work became a pivotal part of her healing and how understanding her own nervous system and identity helped her re-enter her relationship from a grounded and self-aware place.
We also touch on:
- The hard decision to stay when core values start to mis-align.
- Doing the work for yourself, not your partner.
- The messy beauty of rebuilding trust after breakdown.
- Navigating Motherhood, ADHD, PMDD, and intimacy with compassion.
- What healthy co-parenting can really look like – even through a pandemic.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself in love or wondered if there’s a way back after it all falls apart – this episode is for you.
