Untidy

This week on Untidy, there are still plenty of laughs, but this one's a rollercoaster, and we've got some big topics to cover.
Bean shares the heartbreaking loss of her beloved dog Duchess, who stood beside her through some of life’s hardest seasons, and reflects on the grief and gratitude that come with saying goodbye to a member of the family.
Matty has a wholesome family holiday to the Gold Coast, complete with some literal rollercoaster revelations. Then, all of us at Untidy have some big news to share.
After five years of living and breathing Untidy, more than 200 episodes, countless laughs, tears, overshares, awards, live events, weird tangents, and one incredible community, it's time to bring Untidy to a close.
There's no drama. No scandal. No secret feud. No tea at all (sorry to disappoint). Just Matty and Bean recognising that this beautiful thing has reached its natural conclusion.
In this episode, we reflect on what Untidy has meant to us and the whānau that has formed around it.
We're not quite finished yet. This isn't the final word. We want that to come from all of you, to be part of the final recordings. Send us your voice notes, favourite moments, memories, or messages so we can celebrate this perfectly untidy journey together.
Thank you for being here.
Aroha nui,
Bean and Matty xxx

This week on Untidy, Hannah and Matty are joined by sisters Rosa Power and Margo Flanagan, the duo behind Two Raw Sisters, known and loved for their cookbooks and recipes, workshops, podcast and their Two Raw Sisters app. They're all about helping people bring 'confidence to their kitchens through time-saving recipes and food that fits their lives.'
They chat about food, health, burnout, body image, motherhood, chronic fatigue, and why so many people feel overwhelmed by modern wellness culture.
Rosa shares her experience as a high-performance athlete whose pursuit of success led to an eating disorder and RED-S, while Margo opens up about spending years bedridden with chronic fatigue and the path that helped her recover. Together, they explain how those experiences shaped the philosophy behind Two Raw Sisters and their systems that are helping to change lives.
The conversation also explores feeding picky children, managing decision fatigue, nourishing yourself while caring for everyone else, and the genius concept of being "intelligently lazy".
For anyone who has ever felt exhausted by wellness advice, struggled to prioritise their own nutrition, or wondered how healthy eating can fit into a busy life, this episode offers practical, realistic insights.

This week on Untidy, Matty and Bean discuss the emotional rollercoaster of ageing pets, how Matty’s renovations have pushed her to the brink, and the social politics of baby music class when harmonies are on the line. Bean’s dog-sitting side hustle keeps threatening to become a main-hustle, Matty faces public scrutiny on her design choices, and makes the grave mistake of sending the family CFO in to purchase her skincare.

In this episode of Untidy, Matty reports in live and literally on the ground as she hits the renovation pinch-point, Hannah’s under the weather and leaning heavily on the remedial qualities of Robitussin, insufficient sympathy, and homemade soup.
The girls share a listener’s horrifying wine story, and a workaround for avoiding auto-playing your questionable audio choices in the car. Hannah shares a wholesome interaction and faces the dawning of a monosyllabic adolescent.

In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matty sit down with Kyle Layland, the donor dad at the heart of Jo Mackie’s story, after listeners flooded the inbox wanting to meet the man behind “Donor 2349”. What follows is a thoughtful, funny and emotional conversation with Kyle – a rare and selfless human who hopes to inspire other men to become sperm donors and make baby dreams a reality for women facing conception struggles.

Kyle talks about making the decision to donate sperm as a 20-year-old, the surprising donor process, and the moment he realised just how life-changing this gift could be for others. He opens up about growing up gay, why he cared so deeply about the kind of families his donation would go into, and how his own experiences shaped the key question he asked potential recipients.
The conversation explores the emotional reality of being a known donor, meeting his donor son, Ashton, for the first time, staying connected with Jo, and the children born from his donations. This is a story about generosity, humanity, and one young man making a decision that changed multiple lives for the better. This episode will make your heart smile.
Please share it with your mates – especially those that are potential sperm donors!
