In todays episode we discuss why with modern comforts, modern technology, modern facilities does parenting these days feel so bloody HARD? There’s so many factors contributing to it that we talk through in todays episode. Isolation, the career juggle, finding a village, comparison, access to too much information, breaking down the patriarchy.

Ever wondered about the appropriate way to approach gender identity, use language in a way to make people feel comfortable and even more so - how to explain and guide your kids in all of this?? We certainly have! So today we have the best person to guide us through gender identity, inclusivity and ultimately how we can raise our children to be their authentic selves in a gendered world. Our guest Adrienne Harper-Pike shares her lived experience with feeling 'othered' and as a bit of outsider in the way she was raised in a conservative bible belt, mid-west American community. She's now a mother of 5-year-old twins living in Victoria, Australia, in a queer relationship with a non-binary partner. She practices an 'aware parenting’ style to raise her children and works as an ‘aware parenting’ educator. In this episode she shares her wonderful and inclusive insight to language, labelling, gender identity and raising children. A fascinating and informative chat. We hope you enjoy.

Ever feel overwhelmed, underachieved and frazzled by the daily grind? We get it, we do too sometimes. In today’s episode we go over some of the challenges we’ve faced in staying on top of things with work, household chores and well...kids. But, we come with the solutions we've found that help support these challenges as well! We talk getting prepared, being a step ahead, reevaluating what works for changing situations and environments and the tools we use to do so! Communication tactics, shared calendars, meal planning, avoiding niggling conversations like money, kids routines and so much more! Hope this helps you with one or two struggles you share.

We're so happy to be sharing Kate's birth story with you guys today! We chat through all the details of her 3rd (and as she keeps trying to convince us....FINAL!!) birth. Kate talks through how it all went down, the top things that helped her get through and all the ups and downs. We answer your listener questions and also get a taste of what early postpartum is looking like for Kate and her family. All the good stuff! It's so nice to share birth stories, we have learned so much from listening to others and find comfort in commonalities with others experiences, so we hope you do too.

We've got a sexy episode for you today everybody and we're here for it! We noticed that you were all rather interested last time we spoke with a sexologist so here we are again to unpack some more on the sex front. Let's be honest, once we go through pregnancies, having babies and raising children there's a lot to unpack. Today we talk to psychologist and sex therapist Emma St John. We chatted about sexual desire and the meaning around it, the seasons in our relationships that change the landscape of sex. Emma shares her approach to sexual well-being and how she merges psychology and sexuality to foster a holistic approach and we mostly talk about our relationships and how we navigate not just sex but connection, intimacy, communication and so much more.  Thanks to our episode sponsor.

You’ve heard us talk about them, they’ve heard us talk about them… it’s time to introduce them. Our other halves and Dad’s of our children, Soph’s partner Ayden and Kate's Husband Mackie join us for one big chit chat on parenting, fatherhood and everything in between.  We feel pretty lucky to have open, honest and not afraid to say what they think partners who generously shared some of their most touching experiences as well as all the day to day crap that gets in the way. This one’s to celebrate the Dad’s, they don’t always get a lot of space in the parenting world like mothers do so we hope that you and / or your partner finds something in this episode to relate to, agree with and even be comforted by commonalities. Share this one with your other half! We’ve also got Bianca Burge from Plan B sleep consulting giving us all the goods on baby sleep, routines, developments and tips!
