Parenthood

Have you ever had a parenting moment that completely shook you?

On our recent family holiday to Greece, we had one that I'll never forget. It reminded me just how quickly things can change around water—and why *"almost ready"* isn't the same as *"ready."*

In this week's solo episode, I'm sharing what happened, the lessons we learnt, and the water safety reminders every parent needs to hear.

In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re talking all marriage.

We asked you our community your thoughts on sustaining a forever marriage. We delve into whether you compare your relationship to others, where we have been tripped up in our marriages, tools that can help us strengthen our relationships and everything in between.

What happens when the strong mum finally admits she’s not coping?

This week, I sit down with Sigourney Cantelo for one of the rawest conversations we’ve had on the podcast — burnout, anxiety, motherhood, childhood trauma and the pressure women feel to hold everything together while quietly falling apart.

We unpack rehab, guilt, shame, repair with our children and the ways our own upbringing can shape how we parent today.

In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re sharing our hot tips and stresses about choosing an education setting – school and daycare.

We delve into everything we asked during daycare enrolments. How we researched and choose our current primary schools. What is in the works for high school and why Melbourne is so school obsessed.
