Parenthood

Nearly a decade after Yummy Mummies first hit our screens, I’m joined by Lorinska, Jane and Rachel for the reunion we’ve all been waiting for.

We chat motherhood, marriage, mental load, raising older kids and how life has changed since the show — plus the parenting hacks getting them through it all.

Funny, nostalgic and refreshingly honest — the Yummy Mummies are back!

My husband and I both had lunch plans on the same day… but someone had to pick up the kids.

Mine had been in the diary first, so naturally I thought I was off the hook. He disagreed.

So who should compromise? And when you’re parents, does it even matter who made plans first?

In this solo episode, I unpack the argument, the mental load and the constant juggle between having your own life and, well… being a parent.

Have you ever made a parenting decision based less on what your child needed and more on what you worried other parents might think?

From Book Week costumes to screen time, homework and the state of our homes, we’re unpacking the pressure to look like we’ve got parenting “together”.

We share our own ridiculous moments, your responses and why we’re so wired to fear judgement — plus how to stop parenting for everyone else and start trusting yourself.

Because chances are, everyone else is too busy worrying about being judged themselves.

What happens when a parent has to choose between buying nappies and putting food on the table?

In this episode, I speak with Sandra founder of The Nappy Collective about the confronting reality of nappy poverty in Australia — affecting tens of thousands of families every month.

We talk about parents going without meals to afford nappies, the desperate measures some families are forced to take, and the heartbreaking reality that The Nappy Collective is currently only able to reach a fraction of those who need support.

We also discuss the incredible work being done to get nappies into the hands of families who need them and the simple ways we can all help.

Because no parent should have to choose between food, medicine and a clean nappy for their child.

The Nappy Collective is the proud charity partner of Parenthood Podcast.

This week I’m chatting to Jess & Liam about all things; the realities of newborn life.

We delve into the things no one tells you about sex postpartum, relationship challenges, what success now looks like, asking for help, post-natal depression, ‘daddy milk’ and so much more.
