She is also the founder of *Brother & Sisters PERTH*, an initiative designed to bring together people from diverse backgrounds, fostering a strong sense of belonging and empowerment.

Through this platform, Siham has been able to create a community-driven space focused on inclusivity, support, and dialogue.In addition to her community work, Siham hosts the thought-provoking talk show *The Naked Word*, which is known for its candid and unfiltered discussions on social issues, relationships, and personal growth. Her ability to engage in meaningful conversations with guests has made the show a favourite for listeners who crave authenticity and depth.

Ela and I knew each other from highschool days so a bit of a full circle moment as we sit to have this conversation both being Mum's in business.

Once becoming a mum I feel my creativity comes and goes in waves and seasons. Theres needs to be space and capacity in order for me to find the flow.

Join us in the conversation today as Ela shares her wisdom about creating strategy and keeping up in biz yet also shares the duality of how challenging that can be not fully pregnant but also with a toddler running around.

Are you a stickler for the rules? Have or do you have a little bit of a good girl complex?

As the decades have evolved for sit down and be quiet like a good girl, we are ow reversing this as adults and HOPING not to inflict the same on our kids...

Today I talk to Samantha about parenting and how we ourselves have trauma to heal in order to parent from a neutral space.

Sam is a mum to two beautiful children running South West Parenting, a business really supporting parents as we navigate this world.

Samantha’s path to becoming a parenting consultant is rooted in both professional experience and personal insight. Her journey began in 2008 when she completed her Bachelor of Nursing, followed by a post-graduate certificate in clinical nursing. Working in emergency nursing, Samantha honed her skills in supporting families through challenging situations.

It was in the high-pressure environment of emergency care where Samantha comforted parents, which in turn helped children navigate frightening and overwhelming experiences. Creating a sense of safety became the cornerstone of her approach to parenting support.

Samantha’s professional background in nursing provided a unique perspective when she became a parent herself. Her ability to navigate the challenges of parenthood with resilience and positivity caught the attention of her community. As more parents sought her guidance, Samantha recognised a widespread need for accessible, practical parenting support.

Responding to this need, she expanded her knowledge by immersing herself in parenting literature and pursuing advanced training programs. Samantha began synthesising this wealth of information into relevant, actionable strategies for families. What began as informal community support gradually evolved into the establishment of Southwest Parenting, a dedicated resource for families across the region.
