Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2025 with a laugh-out-loud look at our goals - what we achieved last year (not much) and what completely flopped (most of it). No shame, just lessons learned!
This year, we’re dreaming big, setting goals that matter, and keeping it real. Will we crush them? Who knows - but we’ll take you along for the ride. Let’s make 2025 the year of trying!

Talking to kids about disability can feel tricky, but it's a conversation that helps build empathy, understanding, and inclusivity from a young age. This week, Kee and Kelly are joined by Peta Hooke, host of 'The I Can’t Stand Podcast' and self-described as "your friendly girl next door who has a disability." Peta shares her insights and practical advice for answering those big questions kids have and explains why normalising conversations around disability is key to raising kinder, more aware kids.

Diet culture sneaks into so many aspects of our lives, and it can be hard to spot just how toxic it is - especially when it’s been normalised for so long. In this episode, Kee and Kelly dive into their personal experiences with body image and diet culture, unpacking how it affected them and what they've learned along the way. From childhood memories to shifting their mindset as parents, it's a real and relatable chat about breaking free from harmful messages and embracing a healthier approach.
