This Glorious Mess

It’s funny how we spend so much of life trying not to get pregnant, only to assume it will happen instantly when we’re ready—yet for many women, that’s not the case. Today’s Little Love Story is from Harrie Jack. She began her journey with optimism, but month after month brought disappointment. As friends started families, she wondered if they had quietly struggled too, feeling a pang of guilt for never asking. This love story explores the hurdles our bodies face, the courage to admit when things are hard, and the value of sharing those struggles while embracing joy in the present.

No you're not losing it, science says that having a child changes your brain forever. Dr Golly is here to break down the reason you may cry at the news. Or feel overcome by emotions at the smallest things. It turns out that your amygdala, your brain’s emotional HQ, opens up a whole new range of emotions designed to help you care for your child.

If you're an OG listener of This Glorious Mess, you’ll remember the original hosts, Holly Wainwright and Andrew Daddo. They launched this podcast back in 2015 when Holly’s kids were little and Andrew’s were teens, tackling all the chaotic, wonderful messes that come with young families. In this episode, Holly and Andrew are joined by radio host Jo Stanley to talk about encouraging kids in sports, especially girls in footy. PLUS, Holly has mysteriously similar handwriting to the Elf on the Shelf...and the Tooth Fairy. Funny, right? AND, would you pay $80,000 for a stranger to step into your home and tell you everything you're doing wrong? Tune in for a tough listener dilemma from the mom of a guilt-ridden vegan!

Becoming a parent is undoubtedly one of the most life-changing experiences in the world. It’s full of unexpected surprises—both positive and challenging. It can also shift your sense of self in ways you might not anticipate, not only during those early months of sleepless nights and new routines but even years down the line. In this week’s episode, Annaliese and Tegan talk about the times they felt they lost their identity and the moments that helped them rediscover it. Plus, we check in on how parents around Australia are wrangling dinnertime!

Before you become “Mum” or “Dad,” you're just you—with a first name, a spontaneous social life, and the freedom to pursue your career ambitions with no limits, even if that means sometimes working 20-hour days. That was the life of today's guest, Bec Bignell, before she became a parent. Bec pushed herself to give 100% to both her career and her role as a parent, but eventually, the strain took its toll. Forced to pause, she reflected on the moments that truly brought her happiness and began to seek fulfilment on her own terms.

Parenthood is life-changing, but for today’s guest, Anna Water-Massey, it came with both joy and deep loss. At 30, Anna became a mother to Cleo, and a year later, she lost her own mother to cancer. Despite the heartbreak, Anna shares the incredible bond she’s built with Cleo—a connection that continues to grow, especially now that Cleo has become a mother herself to baby Indigo. In this episode of Little Love Stories, Anna reflects on the powerful ties between mothers, daughters, and granddaughters, and how love can transcend even the hardest of times.

Life can get hectic—between chores, work, and managing the mental load, it's easy for connection with your partner to slip down the priority list. Before you know it, you might find yourselves in the "roommate phase." In this episode, we explore the telltale signs of this phase and share tips on how to reconnect. We're also joined by a dad, who brings his own perspective on navigating the roommate dynamic in relationships. And to wrap things up, we leave you with a song that might just hit you right in the feels. You can read Bek Day's Mamamia article 'I coach married parents through the "roommate phase".

Have you ever felt that instant spark of friendship with someone new? That’s exactly what happened when comedian Damian Callinan met Cal Wilson in the early 2000s. In this episode of Little Love Stories, we remember the vibrant Kiwi comedian, Cal Wilson, who passed away nearly a year ago. Damian reflects on their friendship, their collaborations on shows like Skit House, and the honour of being the MC at both her wedding and funeral— a role he describes as among the most important in his life. Despite the pain of losing her, Damian shares the joy of hearing other people's "Cal Wilson Moments" that help keep her memory alive.

A wise historian (Annaliese) once said that house guests are like fish—after two days, they’ve got to go. And in one confession, a parent is feeling especially anxious with both Christmas and their in-laws fast approaching.

Think back to your child's biggest meltdown – maybe it happened right in the middle of a supermarket, or on one of those days where your own emotions were just as high. The truth is, as parents, we’re not that different. We have our own breakdowns, struggling to regulate our emotions in this tough world. While kids can get away with a cuddle to calm them down, we’re expected to just keep going. Its rude.... and unfair!  In this week's episode, Annaliese and Tegan share their own child-like meltdowns and ask the question: Are adults really any better than kids at keeping their emotions in check?
