world breastfeeding week

In this episode, Amanda shares how she was organically led into starting a business creating jewelry out of breast milk. She shares how starting a business was never her intention. After a struggle with breastfeeding, she happened to stumble across breastmilk jewelry and instantly knew she wanted a piece for herself, but quickly discovered all of the pieces she liked were completely out of her price range. So, she decided she would do it herself. It took her a long time to perfect the process, but she refused to quit; she was determined to prove to herself that she could figure it out and make a completed piece. Once she did, her friends started asking her to make them their own unique pieces. She has recently celebrated her first year in business and has been nominated for two business awards. She started with her friends and through word of mouth, then spread locally and is now making pieces for clients as far away as Australia .

Amanda is the founder, owner and jewelry maker at The Milky Fern.

In this episode, I speak with mother of one, Lee-Anne Murray about her first year of motherhood with her son, Hugo. At 31 weeks pregnant with her rainbow baby, after multiple miscarriages, Lee-Anne was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Today, she bravely shares what impact this had on her ability to breastfeed, how she navigated treatment while adjusting to becoming a mum, how cancer has given her perspective as a parent, and what the future looks like for her health and her family.
