The First Six Months

Helen Jukes - Mother Animal meets Improvisation

Pippa Evans

After reading Mother Animal by Helen Jukes I KNEW we would have such a fantastic conversation about all things pregnancy and matrescence. Helen was a wonderful guest and we get right into it about what the animal kingdom has to teach us about our still pretty victorian birth and parenting practises. We discuss everything from chaos and structure, baboons, the use of the phrase 'baby brain' and why we love bats. 


You can find Helen on Instagram @helen.jukes and her book, Mother Animal, is out now in the UK.
