Meet

This year's Australian Survivor cohort is one of the most accomplished yet, but at KIDDO HQ we've been particularly taken with Wai Chim, who happens to be an acclaimed award-winning author of six children's and young adult books! We chat with Wai about how being an author has played into her game strategies on Australian Survivor and how her experience on the show may end up on the pages of a new children's book. 

Owner of mental health space, The Red Tent, Mikki Fisher wants to change the game of mental health. The business owner, mother of three and strong advocate for mental health found herself inundated on her social media platform with women who wanted to open their hearts to her. On a mission to create a safe space where women could openly discuss mental health struggles, Mikki launched The Red Tent, a mental health space for women. We chat with Mikki about The Red Tent, how it evolved and how women can get involved. 

In the paediatric sector alone, the breadth of support provided by Speech Language Pathologists is extensive. Some children may require help in a single area, while others need assistance more globally. Lauren from SPOT Paediatrics gives us the rundown on the ways SLP's can support children.

We caught up with eco-warriors Jessi and Millie Poutama (also known as the ‘Wild Wives’) to discuss all things IVF and pregnancy and how pleasure plays a role amongst all of it. The power couple hope to open up the conversation about pleasure during IVF and pregnancy to encourage more parents to embrace and care for their bodies from all aspects of health and wellness.

The Golden Month offers an in-home, postpartum service based on traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic practices, tapping into nature, using all things natural to support new mums.

Adelaide model, primary school teacher, influencer, and former House Rules contestant, Jess Dover, is relishing a new role - she’s now also a Mum, after welcoming her gorgeous son, Seb (9 months), into the world! We wanted to get to know more about Jess, how her different roles have shaped her over the years and how she’s enjoying the rollercoaster ride of life as a new mum.  

REBECCA MORSE: "I was 25 when I fell pregnant. I had just started a new job with the ABC in Brisbane and was ambitious. Parenthood was not on the horizon for my twenties. In hindsight I should have been as focussed on taking the pill at the same time every day as I was on my career progression, but then we wouldn’t have our Grace!"

The ingenious and innovative team behind the creative studio and bespoke event space are Rachel Evans and Lucy Temme. We sat down with them to talk about all things HYGGE, from its very beginnings, to managing a business through a global pandemic and what’s on the cards for 2021… plus all important questions like ‘what makes a good party?’ - because they would know!    

As a mum of two (plus one in the oven!), as well as a Pilates teacher, PT and yoga instructor, Bridie Walker is in the perfect position to guide mamas and mamas to be in the right direction when they’re looking for ways to move their bodies with a growing bump, because she’s experiencing it all right along with you! Bridie has given us some tips for exercising when pregnant that she feels are most important for women and their ever changing, beautiful bods!

We were lucky enough to sit down with Kimberley Cantor, South Australia's only certified KonMari consultant, and chat about her top tips towards having an organised home!

We sat down with four Adelaide creatives, who also happen to be mums, to talk about discovering their talent, what they’re inspired by, and how they get their kiddos involved in art!

Local Adelaide women, Louise Agnew and Re Wetherall are passionate about making a change in how women see themselves and each other and came together to create the EveryBODY is Beautiful self love campaign; an incredible celebration of women and people in all their spectacular shapes and sizes.

REBECCA MORSE: We get a sneak peek into Rebecca Morse's 2020 Christmas list and there are a few things on here that we think we all might just need too!
