As a FIFO Family we go a decent amount of time without seeing each other, so when we do get some quality time together we try to make the most of it! This episode is all about planning holidays and getaways while working FIFO. We chat about making the most of our time on our week off, working around taking leave when your partner works a weekday job at home, and dragging the kids along with you as well!

We’d love to hear about your holidays and how you manage to squeeze a bit of time off in your busy FIFO schedules! Send us a message or say hello @justafifofam on Instagram!

Pregnancy. It can be the most amazing thing; the excitement of growing this tiny human, thinking of names, setting up their room and picking out clothes. But it also comes with a lot of struggles, especially when your partner works away for multiple weeks at a time in remote areas with bugger all phone signal.

As per usual our inbox is always open so feel free to flick us a message with any questions or feedback on Instagram @justafifofam

In this episode, we discuss some of the dietary changes we're making and also some of the challenges we're going to face during the work weeks. We talk about how we're cutting out meat products, trying alternative milks and some of the supplements we use to support our lifestyle. As always we love hearing from you all so if you have any advice, feedback or suggestions, hit us up on Instagram @justafifofam

In this episode we pick up where we left up from Episode 22 and continue our story of our experience with miscarriage. We chat about jumping between living arrangements, the comedown afterwards, and trying to conceive again; all while working a mining roster. Again, we understand this can be an uncomfortable subject to discuss, but we have found talking about it a lot of other people have gone through similar situations and can be great support.

If anyone wants to get in touch for any questions, feeback, or just a chat, the best way to reach us is on Instagram @justafifofam 

In this episode we share our story with our experience with miscarriage, easily the lowest point we've fought through in our relationship. There's honestly not much more to write about here, there's a lot of people that have gone through similar situations but this is our story and we feel it is healthy to share and talk about something that has been commonly known as a taboo topic.

So have a listen to part 1 of our chat, and we will release part 2 next week! If anyone wants to get in contact, the best way to reach us is @justafifofam on Instagram

In this episode we tackle some of the questions that some of our Instagram followers have sent in, ranging from why we started the podcast through to making the most of our time off! We regularly put up opportunities for you to write in and ask questions but our inbox is always open @justafifofam if you want to hit us up! Hope you enjoy!

So, this episode was planned a bit differently but at the time of recording this is what we were going through. Losing someone close to you is hard enough, let alone trying to keep it together through a lockdown and being a FIFO family. We have a chat about how we're going at the moment managing the grieving process and the little things we're trying to do to keep moving along in our lives.

I've ditched Kayla for this episode and caught up with my good mate Patto. He is all-round one of the most selfless people I know, dedicating his time and effort to so many great causes.
I worked with Patto for many years and we formed a great friendship through red wine, good banter, and being there for each other through very unfortunate circumstances.
We talk about becoming a dad, the importance of mateship and putting your mental wellbeing first, and plenty of other things that can begin to help you bounce back from rock bottom.
No one should have to battle their demons alone and there is always someone that will listen and help you through the tough times. 
The best way to get in touch with us is @justafifofam on Instagram, and our inbox is always open so please if you need to chat about anything don't hesitate to send us a message.
We hope you enjoy this episode.

From postpartum bodies, dad bods, and trucky guts, we chat about our experiences with all of these and the importance of being in a healthy headspace no matter what you look like. 

We tend to drop the ball every now and then on our nutrition and exercise consistency but we're always aware when we're in a rut and are constantly trying to work on our own physical and mental well-being, along with eating nutritious foods. 

We hope you enjoy this episode and for any questions or feedback you can find us on Insta @justafifofam

Holy moly we're up to episode 17.
In this episode we are talking very simple and basic ways to be more eco-friendly in your life and home. We are far from eco warriors ourselves but are continually learning and trying to do better so tonight's episode is all about starting the conversation and gaining more knowledge for ourselves and others.
