SEASON FINALE with Nadia Essex
Welcome to Friday’s Child the podcast, formally known as Life School ME.
When I started Life School back in June 2019 my vision for where I wanted to take the podcast and how it would grow was not 100% clear. I knew I wanted to interview inspiring women and share their stories, but there was no grand plan. And that’s ok. I’m a firm believer in starting before you’re ready!
But after falling pregnant with my beautiful daughter Mavia, and deciding to focus on the world of #BumpsandBabies for Series 2, I discovered a new passion for all things related to pregnancy and birth. The things I learnt about the female body and birth during my pregnancy journey have changed me forever and ignited a new found passion and love for this subject matter.
So Life School has now been reborn as FRIDAY’S CHILD and during this Series I will be talking to First Time Mums, Childbirth Educators and Industry Experts on all things Motherhood. Whether you’re newly pregnant, a first time Mum or may…

When I started Life School back in June 2019 my vision for where I wanted to take the podcast and how it would grow was not 100% clear. I knew I wanted to interview inspiring women and share their stories, but there was no grand plan. And that’s ok. I’m a firm believer in starting before you’re ready!
But after falling pregnant with my beautiful daughter Mavia, and deciding to focus on the world of #BumpsandBabies for Series 2, I discovered a new passion for all things related to pregnancy and birth. The things I learnt about the female body and birth during my pregnancy journey have changed me forever and ignited a new found passion and love for this subject matter.

Welcome to Life School Series 2, #BumpsandBabies!
I’m still in the process of recording this series, and my plan was to start releasing episodes once I’d finished recording with all my wonderful guests. However, in light of the current global situation with Coronavirus, recording for now is on hold.
So, I’ve decided to share with you the episodes I’ve recorded so far over the past couple of months. I know many of us are currently self-isolating at home with lots of time on our hands, so what better time to listen to your favourite podcasts, or perhaps discover some new ones!
As a first time Mum, pregnancy, birth and babies is a whole new world for me, and I personally want to educate myself as much as I can before my little one arrives. From positive birth stories, information on hypnobirthing, water births, c-sections, baby massage and more, I hope throughout this Series I can shed some light on just some of the areas you may be worried about, or even just intrigued about.…

Earlier this month I had the privilege of being invited to Kaynouna’s latest event titled ‘I, Woman’ at The Secret Garden Jumeirah Creekside Hotel to interview some of their inspiring exhibitors.
Kaynouna in Arabic philosophy translates to existence, and this electronic music event dedicated to art, culture & storytelling has quickly become one of the best festivals in Dubai.
If you would like to find out more about Kaynouna and they’re up and coming events, just follow them on Instagram or Facebook at @kaynounaofficial or visit their website www.kaynouna.ae.
For the second installment of our #LifeSchoolLive Kaynouna mini-series, here’s my conversation with Maryam Al Zaabi, or as she’s known on Instagram @fixthesky, an incredible artist who’s part of the Tawahadna community.
