This week, we’re joined by Lisa Fairbairn, who shares her personal story of raising her daughter with autism and global development delay and the realities that come with navigating life, education and support as a family.

Lisa opens up about the challenges parents face when the support their children need simply isn’t available or adequately funded, the constant advocacy that comes with parenting a neurodivergent child, and the emotional impact this can have on the whole family.

We also talk about why awareness matters, what needs to change, and how we can better support neurodivergent children and their families.

Lisa is turning her own experience into action through An Evening for Every Mind, a fundraising event raising money to provide much-needed educational and wellbeing support for neurodiverse children.

This is an honest, important and incredibly moving conversation about autism, motherhood, advocacy and fighting for the support our kids deserve. ❤️

Everyone talks about the pregnancy, the birth and the excitement of bringing your baby home… but what about what happens to Mum afterwards?

In this episode of Can We Just Get a Minute, we’re having a raw and honest conversation about the fourth trimester and the parts of motherhood that don’t always get talked about.

We chat about postpartum anxiety, depression, the pressure to feel happy, identity changes, overwhelm, the reality of struggling when everyone expects you to be “fine.”

We share our own experiences, the moments that caught us off guard, and the things we wish someone had told us before becoming mums.

In this episode, Amy spills the tea on three unforgettable first-date stories — from the good, the bad, the awkward and the moments that had us asking… WHAT?! 😂

Because sometimes you get a second date… and sometimes you get a story to tell the girls instead! 🍷😂

We talk about:

• How pregnancy changed our relationship with our bodies.
• The pressure to "bounce back" after having children.
• Comparing ourselves to others and learning to let go of unrealistic expectations.

• Amy's personal divorce journey
• The emotional impact of ending a marriage
• Co-parenting and putting the kids first
• Rebuilding confidence and finding yourself again

What started as a girls' trip to Bali became so much more.

In this episode, we share the story behind the trip that inspired Mums on Tour and why stepping away from the daily demands of motherhood can be life-changing.

We chat about the laughs, the unexpected moments, the conversations that stayed with us, and why every mum deserves the chance to reconnect with herself—not because she's trying to escape her family, but because looking after yourself matters too.
