Move Over Mama

In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with mother and daughter duo Nadine and Taylah Steedman to uncover the real story behind one of Australia's most loved social media families.
If you're on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, there's a good chance you've seen the Steedman family lip-syncing, dressing up, pranking each other and convincing Mum and Dad to get involved in yet another video.
But behind the millions of views is a much deeper story about family, motherhood, breaking generational cycles and creating the kind of home your children never want to leave.
Nadine opens up about getting married at just 17 years old, starting life with almost nothing, and the powerful experiences that shaped the family she was determined to build.
Together, Nadine and Taylah share what life is really like behind the cameras, how their family handles fame and social media, and why being genuinely close to your family has become one of the biggest reasons people connect with them.
We dive into:
• Getting married at just 17 years old• Starting a life together with almost nothing• The story behind the famous Steedman family• How social media changed their lives• What happens behind the cameras• Breaking generational cycles• Raising children who actually want to be around their parents• The importance of being present as a mum• Why their family chooses to stay close together• The pressures and boundaries of sharing your life online• Why followers don't automatically have the right to know everything• How social media has shown them just how lucky they are to have each other
One of the most powerful moments of the episode comes when Nadine shares the message one of her children sent her:
“Thank you for giving us a life, Mum, that we've never had to heal ourselves from.”
This episode is funny, honest, emotional and a beautiful reminder that family doesn't have to be perfect to be special — and that sometimes the greatest thing you can do is break a cycle and create something better for the generations that come after you.
If you've ever wanted a closer relationship with your family, wondered what really happens behind the scenes of social media, or believed that your childhood doesn't have to define the family you create in the future… this one's for you.

Known for shoving cream buns into his face and making millions of people laugh, Happy Allan has turned a completely random talent into a career — but there's a lot more to his story than viral food videos.
From growing up as the "naughty" ADHD kid at school and being raised by a single mum, to discovering his ADHD as an adult, surviving testicular cancer, and eventually turning a three-minute cream bun video into one million views in just 10 hours, Happy opens up about the experiences that shaped who he is today.

Happy also opens up about the importance of living in the moment rather than constantly worrying about what comes next — something he wishes he could have told his teenage self.
This episode is hilarious, honest, emotional and a powerful reminder that sometimes the things that make you feel different can become the very things that make you successful.
If you've ever felt like the "naughty kid", struggled to understand yourself, worried too much about the future, or wondered whether being completely yourself could actually become your greatest strength… this one's for you.
