In this deeply personal and inspiring interview, Vickie from Pigtown speaks with Emma, founder of Squidgers and Squats, about her journey through postnatal mental health challenges and how exercise became her lifeline.

After a difficult birth and dark days that followed, Emma created Squidgers and Squats—a judgement-free space where pregnant and postnatal women can care for their physical and mental wellbeing, with their babies by their side. Through movement, connection, and compassion, she’s building a community that lifts each other up.
