The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer

From the covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Elle, to founding one of the world’s leading maternity and postpartum brands, Nicole Trunfio has redefined what it looks like to show up for women through motherhood with her groundbreaking company Bumpsuit.

This week on the pod, we talk with Nic about her beautifully colourful, whirlwind life raising three kids, and the heart behind building a company that quite literally and emotionally wraps women during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. We dive into Bumpsuit’s mission to support women in all seasons through Nic’s products, her podcast, community gatherings, and the powerful resources she’s helping make accessible for mums and women everywhere. 

We also get real about dropping balls, releasing perfection, and learning to forgive ourselves as mothers.

We’re talking big life shifts! Tez’s big move (“It’s gonna be a bit chilly, eh?”), her God of War news, and the auditioning experience, including those moments where the universe shows up right when you’re on the brink.

We dive into audition horror stories, nerves, rejection, and the emotional whiplash of putting yourself out there… weeeeee (followed by nervous).

We also catch the Dazeys up on our recent EPIC beyond EPIC Olsen/Palmer hang (swooooon!!) and unpack easy friends vs tricky friends.

There’s a recap of our recent women’s circle, some rage cleaning, and we get fully emo about our kids growing up, because time flies, ya know?

Plus, we chat night-time rituals- those quiet moments of connection with the kids, and the way the littlest ones still long to feel like our little babies, even as they grow.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Melanie Jackson, PhD researcher and host of The Great Birth Rebellion, to explore evidence-based maternity care and how birth systems can better support women and babies across all birth settings.

We discuss the medicalisation of birth, how fear and risk are often overstated in modern maternity care, and the need to shift social messaging that frames birth as inherently risky and dangerous. Mel explains why continuity of care is so important for positive birth outcomes, whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth centre birth, home birth, vaginal birth, or caesarean birth.

The conversation also explores the importance of acknowledging and working through fears around pregnancy and birth, rather than suppressing them. Mel shares three practical questions to ask when an intervention is suggested during pregnancy or labour:

Is it medically necessary?

Is it standard policy or usual practice?

Or is it the doctor’s personal preference?

A grounded, inclusive conversation about informed consent, maternal choice, and maternity care that prioritises the birthing mother and baby (duh!!) 

An essential listen for women thinking about having a baby, currently pregnant, or preparing for birth- in other words…share this with your preggy and preggy-to-be friends Dazeys!!

In this solo episode, we get into the manifesting practices we actually use, what’s brewing with our next women’s circle, and why one-on-one time with kids in big families really hits different. We talk about the mindset reset that comes with realising we’re living inside the dreams we once cooked up as kids, share a few stories from on-set visits with Sarah, and take a very necessary detour into Pokémon. We also tell the story of Lotus and Ocean meeting for the first time (aka Lotion), or if you’re as woo as us, the girls reuniting earth side.

This week we sit down with Jes Saddington! Mama of two, Byron Bay local, and founder of cult-favourite linen label Dazed but Amazed. One of Tez’s Byron homies and a BFF for life, Jes and Tez dive into the community they’ve built in the Bay; sun-soaked surf and skate evenings, never-ending sleepovers, and Prairie’s very serious crush on Jes’s husband (aka “my marriage”).

We talk business evolution too, including the new directions Dazed is exploring, like introducing a cotton blend alongside the iconic tonal linen sets the brand is known for. Jes opens up about off-grid jungle-esque living, raising two nature-loving boys, and why she takes intentional hibernation breaks from work to recalibrate her life and creativity.

Plus, Jes shares candidly about her postpartum recovery trauma, undergoing two reconstructive surgeries and the long healing road that followed.
