    27/04/2026 | 14 mins.
    In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re chatting all Melbourne crime and staying safe.

    It feels like most people in Melbourne have a story around someone being broken into. Liv and I share some of our stories from our network and what you’re all saying about feeling safe.

    We delve into how we’re communicating safety with our children and what more we’re doing to feel secure.

    If you’re feeling a little on edge when it comes to crime, you’re not alone.

    Solo ep - Are we doing to many extra-curricular activities?

    22/04/2026 | 11 mins.
    In today's solo episode I chat all about the extra curricular activity frenzy many of us can fall into.

    If you’re feeling like the juggle is real, unenjoyable and you’re struggling to keep up with the kid’s activities, here are some things to consider.

    Is my child still enjoying the activity? Does it light them up or drain them?

    Are we constantly rushing or do we feel reasonably calm?

    Is my kid getting enough sleep?

    Are we doing this for them or us?

    Tune in to find out more.
