WOLF is a 5 track EP, a deep dive into the uncomfortable subject of post natal depression. The Wolf plays the role of the PND and I am akin to Little Red Riding Hood. I am taken over by the Wolf, consumed and destroyed.

 

After the birth of my 1st child in 2015 I knew I was experiencing PND but never acknowledged it and never sought help. I was diagnosed after the fact. Fast forward 7 years later when I had my 2nd child, I experienced an incredibly traumatic birth, culminating in an emergency C section, which amost claimed my child's life and left me with PTSD. The Wolf really came to get me, and I suffered severe PND. This time I sought help and with that help from many health professionals, medication and family support. was able to recover over time.

​

Each track covers a different element or experience in my journey of my PND. The tracks run cronologically, so listening to the EP from start to finish will tell the entire story.

​

Wolf is being recorded in Spain and Argentina, and production team of Hernan Romero who I have worked with many times before as an accompanist and Leandro Zilberberg in Argentina. The songs are in the style of a dark pop, full of melodromatic sounds, using effects to create the scene and tell the story, and layered vocals and harmonies to add more drama.

 

I record my vocals in my home studio and send them off. All songs are written and the first 4 tracks are finished. We are hopeful that it will be ready to share with the world mid 2023.

I am a big believer in talking about mental health and breaking the stigma that goes along with it. That's why I recorded a podcast with local mental health help group Lifeboat SE, in April 2019 and you can listen to it here. I am also proud to be a community ambassador for the group.

I am so passionate about sharing stories of creative mothers and the intersection of creativity and the mothering role. I do so through my podcast The Art of Being a Mum, which has been released weekly since June 2021. Click here to find out more.
