Some Days Motherhood Feels Impossible. Others Feel Magic.
Apr 1600:39:57Tap to summarizeOne of us is drowning in toys, washing and the impossible dream of a clean house. The other is losing her phone, forgetting everything and wondering why her brain feels permanently foggy. So yes, spirits are high. But this episode also has the good stuff: the kind of day with your kids that makes you feel wildly capable, a best-friends sleepover that felt like grown-up magic, and a few very solid recommendations to take into the weekend.

Transcribe →I Froze My Eggs. Three Months Later, I Was Pregnant.
Apr 1400:56:39Tap to summarizeJess Clark has packed a lot of life into one lifetime, and this episode proves it. Now working as Mamamia’s food and travel editor, Jess takes us through the chapters that shaped her: a religious marriage in her early 20s, a full-blown identity reset, a cancer diagnosis, heartbreak, egg freezing, and a plot twist that changed everything.

Transcribe →What In The Fresh Daylight Savings Hell Is This?
Apr 900:17:01Tap to summarizeThe clocks changed… and suddenly mornings are starting at 5:30. Make it make sense. In this Peak & Pit, Kel and Kee get honest about the kind of weeks that feel a bit off - early wake-ups that hit hard, the quiet panic of feeling behind, and the mental load of trying to do everything well. But there’s also a win that’s been a long time coming (and yes, it involves a toilet).

Transcribe →My Birth, My Choice: Chelsea Williamson On Doing It Her Way
Apr 700:46:59Tap to summarizeChelsea Williamson’s first year of motherhood didn’t look the way a lot of people expect it to. From choosing an elective C-section to deciding to formula feed from birth, Chelsea opens up about making deeply personal choices in a world that always seems to have an opinion. This is a conversation about autonomy, confidence and trusting your gut when everyone seems to have something to say.

Transcribe →The Realisation That You’re In A One-Sided Friendship
Apr 200:33:07Tap to summarizeOne of the girls had a week from hell. The other has to admit something that feels deeply petty, wildly relatable, and just a little bit humiliating: she found out a friend had a birthday party… via Instagram. And somehow, there’s still a glam shoot, a fancy hotel stay, and a few very solid recommendations in the mix.

Transcribe →Why You Need Something To Look Forward To
Mar 2600:22:29Tap to summarizeIt’s Peak & Pit, and this week Kelly and Kee are all about the little things keeping them sane. A long-delayed change is finally paying off, and there’s also a strong case being made for dinner plans, netball, weekend treats and literally anything that breaks up the family-life rinse and repeat.

Transcribe →What If Breast Isn’t Best For You?
Mar 2400:31:51Tap to summarizeBreastfeeding is still treated like the gold standard, which means when it doesn’t work - or you don’t want it to - the guilt can be enormous. In this episode, Kelly and Kee unpack the shame around formula, the pressure to push through, and why what’s best for the baby has to include mum too.

Transcribe →No One Invited Aunt Flo Back, But Here She Is
Mar 1900:33:49Tap to summarizeThere’s nothing quite like the whiplash of going from holiday mode back to normal life. This week, Kelly unpacks the highs of Fiji, the grimness of re-entry, and why being back among the general public can undo a person very quickly. Plus: date night, small wins, and a deeper conversation about the online world boys are growing up in.

Transcribe →Can You Parent Other People's Kids?
Mar 1700:40:18Tap to summarizeIt starts with one kid pushing boundaries… and suddenly you’re in a full internal spiral: do I say something, stay quiet, or hope their parent steps in? This week, Kelly and Kee get into the very messy etiquette of parenting other people’s children - and why it can turn awkward fast. Because everyone loves the idea of a village… until it’s time to correct someone else’s kid.
