Mama Matters
Welcome to the Mama Matters podcast. Whether you’re expecting, you’ve recently given birth or you’re just starting along your fertility journey, it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty and sort fact from fiction… Hosted by Rosie Dumbrell, 3x Mum, physiotherapist and pregnancy fitness and wellness expert. Mama Matters aims to provide an easily digestible, up to date and evidence based approach to pregnancy, birth and motherhood, with a side dose of humour along the way. With interviews from industry-leading experts and stories of my own adventures as a mother to three gorgeous boys under 4, I want to share the stuff that helps to grow confidence throughout motherhood.Mama Matters is a podcast by Lenny Rose Active.
