I Don't Know How She Does It

From an idea hatched on the kitchen table in the suburbs of Melbourne, to an empire of 350 stores, Janine Allis brought Boost Juice to the world. Now, the mother-of-four shares what it took to build her success. From ditching friendship and mother guilt, to attitudes towards long hours at work, it's a lesson in what makes high-performers succeed. This candid conversation looks at the sacrifices she made to make her business a success, the regular sanity checks that keep her feet firmly on the ground, and how family is at the heart of it all.

Canna Campbell is good at money. Real good. And she wants other women to get good at it too. The financial planner and single mum behind the website sugarmama.tv talks starting her own business, nailing mornings, and how she saved $32,000 in a year by making tiny, tiny changes to her life. Canna proves that financial advice doesn't have to be all unsexy scrimping and fusty frugality; you just have to take control of your pay wave and get smart about savings. 

This episode will have you jumping out of bed at 5am, paying for things with cash, and looking at money very differently.

Sallyanne Atkinson never set out to be a feminist trailblazer, she just refused to let conventions and expectations stop her from doing what she wanted to do. When things got tough, the mother of five just got on with it. Caught in a council meeting? Tell them you're leaving at five to put dinner on. Need to get the kids vaccinated? Do it at night. Brisbane's first female Lord Mayor talks juggling her political career with three children under two and a quarter, getting sacked for being pregnant, and being called Tinkerbell by her political opponent. Sallyanne has three quarters of a century of wisdom and countless years of experience in the business, politics and journalism spheres. And now, she's sharing the things she thinks all young women should know.

How does the RedBalloon founder do it all? By being a shark - at the top of Australia's business food chain. She's a entrepreneur, author, mentor, judge on Channel 10's Shark Tank, blogger, speaker an influencer with more than 1.5 million Linked In followers and a mother. Notoriously private about her home life, the Red Shark provides a glimpse into the early days of RedBalloon when she had 9 employees sandwiched in her front room and the kids at work blowing up balloons. She shares why she doesn't get mum guilt and why she doesn't care if her children are happy. It sounds harsh, but it makes perfect sense.

This episode was our most popular of 2016 so we're bringing it back for a summer revival.

It's been a big year for I Don't Know How She Does It. The show was named one of iTunes' classic podcasts of 2016. But it's also been a big year for Bec Judd, who recently gave birth to twin boys. She's a woman who wears a heck of a lot of hats. From mother, to business owner, to weather presenter to model, Rebecca Judd has a lot going on. She's also one of the most down-to-earth people there is.

In this frank and interesting interview, Rebecca Judd talks to Holly Wainwright about how she gets everything done, and still has time for family time in the Judd spa after a days work.

Activated bee pollen in the morning, a coffee or two, family time, then back to bed for ten hours sleep. It's hard to believe we have the same number of hours in the day as model, author, brand ambassador and certified health coach Rachael Finch. Now eight months pregnant, the glowing new mum to be shares why her three year old daughter doesn’t go to daycare and debunks those rumours that she’s a part-time parent.

What does Christmas look like when you're living in a tent with three hungry little mouths and no money for presents? For Nikki McWatters it was an adventure and shopping at the Salvos was a treasure hunt. The author shares what it's like to go days on end with only Weet-Bix and 2 Minute Noodles for sustenance. But today, the mother of five can budget better than the treasurer. From working in billionaire's houses to homelessness, and from her former days as a groupie to studying law, Nikki is a woman with one incredible story.

He's been bum to bum with Beyonce. He's sung for Oprah, and performed for the Queen. But offstage, Guy Sebastian is most happy when he's at home singing to his kids. Along with his stylist wife Jules, he founded the Sebastian Foundation to create safe spaces for vulnerable women. He shares what it’s like to take toddlers on tour, to juggle two careers with family life, how parenthood changed his priorities, and facing the fear that it could all be over tomorrow.

Her smiling face has been on our screens from the days of Saturday Disney to her current stint on The Block, but television’s most sunshiney host doesn’t care about her career. It’s all about family for Shelley Craft. She’s moved five times in the past year and now she’s sipping green smoothies in Byron Bay, where she's the only person who doesn’t own a yoga mat. Because this mother of two beautiful girls is just too darn busy. The bubbly presenter shares how she teaches her kids gratitude, interior design tips, and how she found her parenting zen through a Disney movie.
