January 06, 2026 The first glimmers of “it gets easier”
I went into the Christmas break braced for impact, convinced that weeks without daycare were going to send me over the edge but instead, something shifted.
Olivia’s almost three now and for the first time I could see what people mean when they say “it gets easier”.
Slower days. Side-by-side play. Less fear of large blocks of unfilled time.
A feeling that we might be climbing out of the most intense bits of this together.
In this episode I also talk about money, the mental load of running everything solo and why anticipation as a parent is often harder than the thing itself.
If you’re in the thick of it, I hope this gives you a bit of hope that it won’t always feel like this.

December 23, 2025Christmas hits different when your kid finally gets it
Last Christmas, Olivia was only one and she genuinely couldn't have cared less about it.
This year? Entirely different story.
In this episode, I’m reflecting on how quickly things change, what Christmas looks like with a two-year-old who suddenly finds everything magical and why I’ve gone from being pretty indifferent about Christmas to leaning into it.
I talk about:
Why Christmas with a one-year-old can feel… underwhelming
The moment I realised this is what Christmas with kids is meant to feel like
A very risky trip to Christmas Crazy (that somehow worked out)
The joy of lights, baubles, and a kid who wants to turn them on and off every day
Why being a solo mum means I get to choose exactly what Christmas looks like
Friends’ Christmases, chosen family, and zero obligation energy

If you’re solo parenting, or navigating Christmas in a way that doesn’t look “traditional”, this one’s a gentle reminder that it doesn’t have to look any particular way to be really good.

December 16, 2025Toilet training: Can somebody else do it for me, please?
Toilet training. The one parenting milestone I’ve been aggressively avoiding like it’s a Centrelink queue.
Tess asked if I had any tips and look, the only “tip” I have is that I am also terrified and not the guru you’re looking for.
In this episode I chat about:
Why toilet training feels like the Olympics of solo parenting
The three-day method everyone keeps recommending (no thanks, I choose life)
My fear of rogue poos taking out every soft furnishing in my home
Why I keep hoping someone will just whisk her away for three days and return her fully trained

If you’re also scared, overwhelmed, or googling “Can toddlers toilet train themselves,” please enjoy this journey into my panic.

December 09, 2025 The utter punish of "I can do it"
Ahhhh, the independence era. Otherwise known as: “No, you can’t… but I’ll pretend you can while I slowly die inside.”
This week I’m venting about the "I can do it myself" phase...the shoes, the clothes, the stairs, the moments where you’re simultaneously proud of their independence but also desperate to scream into a pillow.
If you’ve ever stood at the bottom of a staircase for 45 minutes saying “Good job, Bubby” with no conviction because your soul has left your body, I feel you.

December 02, 2025 When "goodnight" takes two hours
We are deep in toddler bedtime stalling territory and if you’ve been here before, you know the pain.
Every night is a masterclass in negotiation.
And by “negotiation,” I mean manipulation, emotional warfare and being asked to read the same book 47 times while a tiny human practices their latest excuse for staying awake.
In this episode, I talk about the emotional toll of these bedtime marathons and why solo parenting makes it feel even heavier.

November 25, 2025 The weight of being someone's only person
This week’s question from Anthony goes straight for the jugular: “Do you ever think about your own mortality?”
Um… yes. Constantly.
In this episode, I talk about the creeping fear that comes with being a solo mum, knowing your kid only has you and wanting to be here long enough to see it all.
From my parents’ dementia battles to the late‑night “Am I doing too much?” spiral, I unpack what it’s like to balance survival, stress and the need to slow down.

November 18, 2025I love my kid... but I love daycare
This week’s question comes from Fran: “Do you feel bad about sending your kid to daycare?”
Short answer? Nope.
In this episode, I share the emotional rollercoaster of daycare drop-offs, how long it took my daughter to settle in and why even if I won the lottery, I still wouldn’t do seven days a week solo. We also dip into…
The solo parent juggle
The mental load of endless daycare dress-ups
The chaos of events scheduled during work hours
And why I think daycare has helped shape my daughter into the social little legend she is.

It’s part rant, part reflection and big love for the amazing humans who take care of our tiny humans while we try to keep the lights on.

November 11, 2025 TV is great...until you have to turn it off
This week’s question comes from Cassie: “Do you use screens more as a solo mum because you don’t have help?”
The answer?...No. But it's not for the reason you'd think.
Screen time is a topic that gets people fired up and it feels like everyone is judging your decisions. But in this episode I explain why I don't use it (at the moment, but that's not to say I won't in the future), how it breaks my child’s brain (and mine) and why 30 minutes of peace isn't worth a week of Wiggles withdrawal.
If you're a parent who loves the TV, you'll find no judgement here! We're all just doing what we need to do to get through the day!

November 04, 2025 Yelling doesn't make you a bad mum
Ever feel like you’re going to turn inside out trying not to yell at your kid? Me too!
This week’s listener question comes from Annalise, a solo mum trying her best not to lose it on the daily but also wondering if she’s the only one struggling to keep it under wraps in the no escape / no tap out reality of parenting alone.
I talk about my experience of trying (and failing) to be a zero yelling mum and why the fantasy of stepping out of the room to scream into a pillow is completely unrealistic when you’re on your own and your kid is mid-meltdown.
I also chat about bedtime stall tactics, boundary-holding exhaustion and the weird comfort of hearing your toddler parrot your worst moments back to you. Parenting’s fun, hey?
