I Don't Know How She Does It episodes

  • The fearless female footballer who took three days off after birth.

    Kate Sheahan was back at work just three days after giving birth, newborn baby in her arms. The Collingwood AFL player, tennis coach and mother of six-year-old Will lives and breathes sport, but as a 12-year-old, her dream to play football was smashed when she was told, like every other girl, that she could no longer play with the boys. Now, Kate finally has the opportunity to play professionally as one of the only mums to hit the field in the upcoming AFL Women's League. And she has some lessons for us all about how to handle the juggle of competition and parenthood.

  • Mother of four Randa Abdel-Fattah sometimes cries at night.

    She wrote her 10th novel while completing her PhD, is the mother of four children, and wants to stop Islamophobia in Australia. Lawyer, columnist and human rights advocate Randa Abdel-Fattah is the busy mum who manages it all. But as she tells Holly Wainwright, she won't apologise for that. So how does she manage it all? She surrounds herself with family, she doesn't sleep much, and she accepts that sometimes things will fall apart.  Because changing the world isn't easy.

  • Tara Moss on Setting Goals and Working Smarter.

    Tara Moss is a towering, lipsticked powerhouse of a woman. An extensively-travelled journalist, TV presenter, Unicef ambassador, she's also the author of 11 bestselling books, a mum to a 5-year-old daughter, and she's currently completing her PhD.

    So how does she do it all? 

    The key, she says, is being adaptable. Working smarter. Not sticking to traditional gender roles. Setting goals, and working towards them slowly. And never trying to do it all at once: just doing tiny bits at a time that slowly add up.

  • Even Michelle Bridges Makes Excuses.

    The fitness guru has made a career out of seemingly doing it all. She's a personal trainer, the author of 13 books, a star of Channel Ten's The Biggest Loser and mum to baby Axel. So it's no surprises that Holly Wainwright grabbed her to ask: HOW DO YOU DO IT? While she claims it's all smoke and mirrors, we don't really believe it. Michelle talks life with Steve, the myth of having it all, how she drags herself up off the couch when her whole body is telling her not to, and whether or not she will let Axel eat paddle pops.
