The usual: coffee, kids, alcohol, discipline. The struggle is real.
Hello, Leece has her keep cup with her this morning, set up and rearing to go for coffee with her 'gal pal'. Are we divisive? Do any of you actually have any thoughts on coffee etiquette to the extent we do, or are we full of absolute shite and just ridiculous (like mum says after each pod episode)? Genuine question lol. So we start with coffee and alcohol, and quickly get into parenting where we pretty much stay for the duration of the pod. What can we say, it's the *era* we're in. From peer pressure when it comes to other kids - to "letting go", and discipline versus consistency. We're sent in a hefty question around how to handle a situation where the Fortnite rules at your house differ to the Fortnite rules at a friends house, and a bit about parenting and phones when maybe the views/thoughts on phones - between the parents - might differ. It. Is. So. Hard. Are we all finding it this hard? Do we need a mindset shift, do we need to chill out, or are we all in the same boat? Would really love to hear your thoughts on all of this! Love, xo

All sorts (possib a yawn in spots) - overwhelm, kids, being busy, Liver King, Dan and life conundrums
Every so often, we hit a few walls and can't find a funny bone in our body - not that we're here to be funny but we do always love to have a lol. This episode isn't at all full of them all, so consider yourself warned. We're here there and everywhere, which isn't unusual either, is it? From the never-ending state of overwhelm to the general state of the Fong garage, to the teen, his phone and lunch boxes, cooking chat, The Liver King, and the confusion and difficulty that we feel can come from the very *overwhelming* (there's that word again) amount of information out there today. When it comes to health and fitness we've always believed in keeping things simple. While sometimes it can take some trial, error and time to find what might work for you (adding on the fact we're constantly growing, ageing and evolving), we love to hear people talk of variety and doing these things not just for the physical benefits but the mental benefits, too. Next week we promise some lols or more banter, without even a sniff of dry humping xx

Our 200th episode! 200+ seconds from all of us + the usual Monday waff
Hey pals! A bit of a long one today but it isn't ENTIRELY our fault. Happy belated Mother's Day to those in our audience who celebrate and our thoughts are with those who find the whole day just one big triggering ordeal - to you we send our love. Last week we put it out to you, our community, for ideas on how we might be able to celebrate our 200th episode - a big thank you for your ideas! (Mum isn't here yet but, never say never). After some debrief waffle from the week that was - Samsungs and insecurities, poo, glasses and social media rigmaroles (again, AGAIN) - we then tend to the question, "What does being the face of Move it Mama do or mean to us in our own lives?", based on the fact that often our audience hear how amazing Move it Mama is for our members - but what's it like from our end? This question came in from a listener and we thought OK, we can manage this one and we like it. So, 200 seconds (a little more from some lol) from all of us, starting with Leece, the founder and creator of such an incredible community. After we hear from the team, we close off with our sparkle spreaders - or an attempt at one. Thank you to the beautiful team for contributing to this, and to you, our listeners and our community, who make it all what it is. We bloody love you.

Reflecting on the last year (heavy chat) & some lighter bits (naturally)
We've hopped into the 'robe a little late in the day today - weirdly it doesn't disrupt our flow too much. In today's episode we unintentionally find ourselves in a reflective mood. We're reflecting over the events of the past year as, with Mother's Day approaching, we're nearly one year since the unravelling of Dan's illness and the events that followed. To say this is triggering is an understatement. A lot of feelings that never really left still boil; festering away at the surface. The year to the day coming around seems to be amplifying this - obviously hugely so for Leece but also those around her. Other than that, we dissect a bit about the weekend, one pot pasta, adventurous family outings, keep cups and other average (at best) waffle. Don't forget to join us (if you're a member) for our next Zoom workout this Sunday night at 8pm (DM us for details if you're interested!). Thanks for being the best community out there.

Dogs, night routines, the itch (neck oil apology), compliments, kids, endless parental worry & keep cup chronicles
And we're back. An un expected, unplanned week off, but here we are back to it this week for a full hour of debriefing (cue waffle). Leece is currently a 'whether-she-likes-it-or-not' owner of a dog (/sole trader), and as a result we surprise even ourselves by how long we discuss the animal lol. From dog and kid toileting and bedtime routines, to kids saying the darnedest things, Leece's itch and the neck oil saga (an acknowledgement/nod here to our recent discussions - a good reminder to us), giving out compliments, the worry in being a mother (/parent) and more. It's good to be here. Thank you - as always - for your support to Move it Mama and the podcast.
