Hi there,
I wanted to tell this newsletter group first, because many of you have been here with us since the very beginning: we are officially planning our very first full season of the podcast, which will be released right after the summer holidays!
The big reveal is that Season 1 is going to be all about the first year with a baby.
We want to build this season entirely with you... Next week, we are heading into the studio to record our very first episode of the new season with NHS midwife and lactation consultant, Midwife Miranda.
We are going to be talking about those precious, overwhelming first weeks at home with a newborn. It’s an episode designed around the exact questions you find yourself wondering about during those final weeks of waiting, but also the things you don't even realize you need to ask until the moment you are actually home, sitting on the couch with your baby.
Because we want your voices in the studio with us, I would love your help:
- If you’ve already given birth, what do you wish you had heard or known before your first baby came home? What did you find incredibly useful during those early weeks?
- If you are currently expecting, what questions do you have in mind right now? What do you want to ask Miranda?
Please just hit reply directly to this email and share your thoughts, stories, or questions with me. I read every single message that comes through, and your replies will change what we ask Miranda next week.
On another note, it feels a bit surreal to say this, but the e-book is officially out in the world: The Tiny Big Joys, Pregnancy & Birth - Questions from new parents like you is live.
Putting this out as a first-time writer has been a completely nerve-wracking experience, but we also just got some fantastic news—the book is completely free to read for anyone who is an Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscriber. If you don't use Kindle Unlimited, it’s still available to order directly on the platform too, with the lowest available rate.
As a tiny, independent team, simply reading it or ordering a copy is one of the biggest ways you can support what we are doing. Every single copy helps us fund the work, research, and production for our future podcast episodes so we can keep creating this. And signals Amazon, they should show it more new parents.
If you want to check out the book, you can find it right here:
(And for those who prefer holding a physical book, the print version will be available on Amazon next week!)
Thank you so much for being with us from the beginning.
With warmth,
Paula & The Tiny Big Joys Team
