Parenthood

This week I’m joined by one Anika Parr and as mums of 2, we are discussing the ins and outs of back to school transitions, including:

🎙 How we can best handle over stimulated children as they transition to school

🎙 Why it’s never too early to reach out to the new year’s teacher and build a relationship

🎙 How much can we expect from our school systems, when we have children with different needs

🎙 Shoes being thrown out of car windows, managing tantrums, navigating friendships

And so much more …

Tis the season to ... bite your tongue

We're talking keeping the peace at Christmas - aka surviving the annual festival of unsolicited parenting advice.

Topics include:

🎙 The uncle who buys your children inappropriate gifts

🎙 The pressure to be the 'chill parent'

🎙 Why your kid having iPad time is really nobody's business

🎙 How to politely ignore everyone while protecting your sanity

A festival blend of real talk, humour and parenting solidarity.

And so much more…

This week’s solo episode is basically a debrief of the year where I thought I could “have it all”… and instead had goals bigger than my patience, sacrifices bigger than my sleep, and anxiety bigger than my to-do list.

I’m spilling the truth about what I aimed for, what I learned the hard way, and why next year I will not be signing up for the Olympic sport of Overcommitting.

2026 motto? Balance, baby.

More calm, less chaos. More joy, fewer mental spirals.

If your year was also “a little bit wow but also… why?”, this one’s for you.

Welcome to another episode of “I’m Doing My Best, Please Clap.”

Today we’re talking chaotic mornings, missing school activities, and the emotional gut-punch of parent guilt.

If you’ve ever sent your kid to school in the wrong uniform, forgotten a permission slip, or arrived at an event halfway through because… life — pull up a chair.

You’re in good company and we’re unpacking it all.
