Wowsers this is an episode where we cover at lot!

- we begin by talking again about suffering because we wanted to continue some thoughts we'd both been having about it.

- we talk about and define what the emotional load is for us.

- how we are leaders

- what we want that to look like.

- chiara's meltdown last weekend

- rational and irrational behaviours and thoughts from our kids

- being regulators...

Sooooooo much more.

This felt like a super useful, profound and uplifting conversation in the end.

Enjoy our friend therapy session!

So...part 1 of our illness chat is an honest and pretty wholesome conversation about handling our kids being sick, when we're sick, how to cope with attendance at school, the system and more...

How do Lorna and Chiara feel about money, how it keeps us in a box. The money responsibility split in a marriage, having THOSE conversations and debt and money shame. As well as a chat about Christmas, how Chiara does it with lowered expectations and why they don't do father Christmas

In this episode we talk about being in survival mode as a mother, both in the fourth trimester and now too. How survival mode is a real thing and sometimes how that's all we've got. As well as talking about wanting to thrive. We discuss our the dark places we went to especially after our first girls were born...and some tools we have...

Not another mummy podcast 😂 Lorna and Chiara, both mother's of 4 are creating a new type of podcast. An honest, taboo topics, let's talk about the real shit, kind of pocast. Where we go DEEP into the detail of life with many children...this episode is an introduction to who we are, and what are plans and intentions for this podcast are. We hope you love it.
