Parenthood

This week I'm bringing you my real-time thoughts on my realities when it relatees to the global climate. I want to acknowledge anyone directly impacted by the war and my thoughts go out to you. On the home front, I'm bringing you some intel on my anxiety peaking, navigating rising prices, the impact on the construction industry, Qatar airlines cancelling flights, the mental load of school holidays and how I try to stay above water when our external environment can feel a little heavy.

This week I chat to Tully Smyth, all about being pregnant at 38.

We talk all things, being a single female in your 30s, the society pressure and mixed emotions that can bring. The day Tully found out she was pregnant and her announcement to her partner. Waves of grief returning once pregnant after the loss of Tully’s mum, parenting expectations, how we can keep our memories of loved ones alive and so much more.

A big thank you to our episode sponsors Lacevo and Baby Sensory and Toddler Sense.

This week’s solo ep is about arguing with your parter when you feel unseen.

You know that feeling when your partner walks back in from a work trip and says:

“Missed you guys! So nice to be home.”

And you’re thinking…

Must be nice.

Because while they were:
• At dinners
• In meetings
• Sleeping uninterrupted

You were:
• Managing bedtime solo
• Packing school bags
• Working
• Breaking up sibling wars
• And answering 74 “Muuuuum” calls before 8am

And you feel resentful.

Let’s talk about that.

Are you feeling nervy about social media impacts on your children?

In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re reflecting on the social media ban, now that it’s been in play for a few months.

We discuss what the ban is, is it actually working, stories from tweens, what more needs to be done and your thoughts on the ban from Insta polls we put up. We also delve into our own experiences with managing technology with our kids; screen time boundaries, space watches, Road Blocks, parental controls and more.

If you’re keen to hear all about how we as a society are navigating the beast that is technology for our kids, this one is for you.

Do you ever feel like you’re giving 70% everywhere… and 100% nowhere?

When I’m at work, I’m thinking about the kids.
When I’m with the kids, I’m thinking about work.
When I finally sit down at night, I’m thinking about what I didn’t do.

It’s this constant, quiet guilt of:
“I could have done more.”

This week’s solo episode is about the myth of giving everything 100%.

Because maybe the goal isn’t perfection.

Maybe it’s being intentional in the season you’re in.

If you’ve ever felt split in a thousand directions… you’re not alone.
