In today’s episode, we chat with the beautiful Sarah Davidson, who many of you might know as Spoonful of Sarah. 

Sarah opens up about everything from her experiences of being adopted from South Korea yet growing up in a very typical Caucasian Aussie household, to having a miscarriage, and how both of those experiences have shaped the way she approaches life, work, family and now motherhood. Plus she explores why there is so much more to family than biology, and how statistics of loss actually helped her through grief. 

You can find more about Sarah HERE.

This is a chat with the legend Craig Anderson. Craig is a passionate mental health advocate, Gidget Angel and father of three.

Craig spent the early months of fatherhood caring for his wife Rebecca, who experienced significant post-natal depression. Little did he know in the coming months it would be him that would require assistance dealing with a post-natal anxiety disorder.

Craig walks us through the ups and downs of his experience as well as breaking down in simplicity what it felt like for him. His experience is one many dad’s will go through and we thank him for his time and vulnerability.

From a failed click and collect that left us snackless, to a broken fridge that had us questioning every life choice, this week had it's fair share of domestic disasters!

Plus we went down the rabbit hole of grocery chat again, because comparing trolleys and hunting deals is basically our new sport.

And we couldn't finish the episode without a good baby name dilemma that has us seriously divided. How close is too close, when you name your baby something similar to a friend? 

As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛

This week we’re chatting all things burnout. That feeling when your brain’s running on 1% battery, your to-do list is still screaming at you and everything is overwhelming. 

We’re joined by the wonderful Dr Mel Taitimu, a psychologist who’s here to help us unpack what burnout really is (spoiler: it’s not just being tired), and why it’s so common for women and parents. Plus, most importantly she shares the tools get back to feeling like yourself.
