Parenthood

Nothing tests a marriage, a sibling relationship and your nervous system like homework.

One child finishes in 6 minutes.
The other is suddenly illiterate.

If you’ve ever said “just focus” while questioning your life choices… this episode is for you.

We’re unpacking:
✨ Why homework hits so hard
✨ Why snack + decompression matters
✨ When it’s okay to just… skip it

Because we’re not raising perfect students. We’re raising emotionally regulated humans.

In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re chatting all things working full time and parenting.

How do we (try to) juggle it all?

We have some hot tips including shared calendars, Sunday admin, getting into a routine, outsourcing, sharing the load, finding your village and more.

If you’re keen to improve the juggle (and your sanity), this one is for you.

and so much more…

This week’s solo episode is all about how I (try to) discipline my kids.

I reflect on whether yelling is worth my energy or time and does it have the impact I was hoping for.

Whether reward systems actually work and how I’m using them to instil positive habits.

Why mapping out the day and key activities ahead of time has been a game-changer.

Whether bribery is a necessary evil, why empty threats are so easy to give and so much more.

If you’re keen to get your kids to do what you want them to do – or try to – this one is for you.

This week I’m chatting to Tiff Hall & Ed Kavalee about how they juggle it all, including:

🎙 The pressure of the ‘bounce back’ culture - and why Tiff is all about ‘bouncing forward'

🎙 Realisations around career ambition vs reality, when you’re a new parent

🎙 Why telling your kids to ‘ask you anything’ and you’ll find the answer, isn’t always a clever move

🎙 The Amazing Race recap

and so much more…

This week’s solo episode is all about my anxiety around meal time. Specifically my kid’s meal time.

One kid is a bottomless pit and the other has a beige diet preference.

Meaning one eats us out of the house and we’re lucky if we get 2 spoons of rice into our other kid.

In this episode I talk about how I’m trying to get my kid to finish a meal and have a well-balanced diet.

Whilst not comparing my kids to every other kid who’s eating raw capsicums.

If your life also feels a lil stress around the kid food front,
this one is for you.
