Parenthood

Builder. Podcaster. Mum. And constantly juggling all three.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing how I actually manage everything I have going on — work, the podcast, kids and life — without completely losing my mind.

The things that keep me organised, save me time and help me focus on what actually matters.

Because there are never enough hours in the day!

What happens when two creatives become parents and realise nothing quite goes to plan?

This week on Parenthood, comedian Simon Taylor and his wife Lucy join me for a hilarious and honest conversation about raising two young kids, navigating relationship changes and juggling careers with family life.

From toddler negotiations and sleep deprivation to managing the mental load, finding your village and keeping your own dreams alive, Simon and Lucy share why communication, planning and a good sense of humour are essential to surviving the parenting chaos.

A funny, relatable conversation about embracing the messiness of family life.

When was the last time you put your own health first?

This week on Parenthood, I am joined by Dr Michaela and Sarah, co-founders of Elme Health, for an honest conversation about preventative healthcare and why we shouldn't wait until something goes wrong.

From Michaela's cancer diagnosis as a mum of two young children to Sarah's experience watching her mother live with multiple sclerosis, they share the personal stories behind their mission to change how we approach our health.

We explore early detection, the importance of listening to your body and why prioritising your health isn't selfish, especially when you're a busy parent.

What happens when you adore your friend… but dread spending time with their partner?

We unpack personality clashes between couples, whether it’s okay to keep friendships to coffee dates and playdates, and how to set boundaries without hurting your friend or making them choose sides.

Because sometimes the best way to protect a friendship is accepting that not everyone needs to be friends.

AI has quickly become one of the tools I use most — both in business and everyday life.

In this solo episode, I share the practical ways I’m using AI to save hours each week, from business decisions and everyday problem-solving.

I also chat about why it’s largely replaced Google for me, how having ongoing context makes it so useful, and why I think every busy parent should be experimenting with it.

If you’re not using AI yet, this might just convince you to start.
