Join us for The Motherload Live: Getting Your Spark Back

Join us for our next Motherload event, where we will speak to health and fitness coach Emma Dowling, content creator Siobhán McAuley and sex educator Jenny Keane. These women will share their own stories and specialist knowledge of navigating motherhood.

Somewhere along the way – between broken sleep, packed lunches, work deadlines, and everything else – it’s easy to lose a little bit of yourself. This Motherload Live Event is about gently finding your way back. To confidence. To energy. To feeling more like you again, at any age or stage of motherhood. 

That’s why on May 7, to help us, we’ll be joined by three special guests – health and fitness coach Emma Dowling, content creator Siobhán McAuley and sex educator Jenny Keane – who will share their own stories and specialist knowledge of navigating motherhood, identity, body image, and what it really means to feel good in your skin again.

Expect a morning of real talk, shared experiences, and a reminder that you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not the only one trying to find your spark again.

Kids are absolutely welcome, because we know all too well that sometimes childcare just isn’t an option. That said, space is a little tight, so if you’re bringing a bigger buggy, just keep that in mind – we want everyone to be comfy!

Whether you’re surviving, thriving or just in need of a day out, do come along. We would love to see you. Let’s lighten the load, together.

Please be aware that this event will be filmed for promotional purposes. If you have any concerns about your image being captured, don’t hesitate to let our team know, and we will ensure that you are not included in the filming.

Emma Dowling, Health and Fitness Coach

Alongside being a successful health and fitness coach, Emma Dowling is a mum to three-year-old twin girls, Lucy and Willow, and a seven-year-old little boy, Jacob. She believes in feeling strong, not looking perfect, and is all about realistic routines and being kind to yourself in the process.

Siobhán McAuley, Content Creator

Known online as @they.wanderlust, Siobhán is a content creator and proud mum to two vibrant boys, Mason and Micaiah. After navigating a period of burnout, health scares and ongoing health issues, she began a deeply personal journey back to balance, joy, and self-connection. She speaks openly about parenting, teaching her two young sons about their heritage, and how motherhood changes how we see ourselves.

Jenny Keane, Sex Educator

As a sex educator and new mum, Jenny Keane is passionate about pleasure, self-connection and changing the conversation around what’s possible for women, especially after having kids. With over 200,000 people attending her workshops and in-person sold-out events, Jenny has sparked a movement that’s changing the way we talk about sex.
