Surpriiiiiiise! We thought we wouldn't make it today however the plans changed, so here we are. A bit of a sh*tty weekend for the Fongs, full of stress and worry, and Leece was meant to be in Brisbane today. But, a little last minute things changed course, which meant we were able to get here when a few hours prior we thought we couldn't! Celebrating that. So, as a result of the events that have unfolded in the past week, we're not full beans today with a huge amount to offer but 'it is what it is', as they say. Lots of the chat centred around Dan and what's been happening, the current situation and everything that's going down. With a little bit of constipation chat in the mix the word 'ass' seems to occur A LOT so, take this as your warning.

Kia ora pals, another week and here we are. We start today's episode talking about Leece's mindset this morning and current struggles - of which, as you can appreciate, there are many and so it's a bit of a sombre start. In amongst this though we discuss the power of Move it Mama and community - and how blessed are we (that includes you, our listeners). Over the weekend we put out a Q&A to our social media and so in the rest of the episode we answer a series of random questions. Including but not limited to (!) - protein powder chat, an update on Leece's knee, parenting four year old boys and subsequent tips, fav foods/cuisines/snacks, motivation when life's tough, the notion of 'when I feel crap, I look crap, what can I do', and how to survive the silly season. On reflection the silly season answer is perhaps quite a stoic stance but we hope and trust you'll hear what we're saying. Love you guys, thankful every day. Connection - this is it.

Hello pals, how are you? Time for the weekend debrief, as per. It's been an eventful week and a hard one at that. We talk in quite a bit of detail with a life update from the Sunshine Coast. Things are really very hard and at this point we want to thank Leece for being so open in her experience. We know many of you are interested and care, and also really appreciate her vulnerability and honesty through the situation they find themselves in. A few little tangents about much less important matters like the rules of the sissy chat, f**king Fortnite and kids birthday parties. Once again, we are so grateful to you.

Hello hello, welcome to the weekend debrief. Leece wasn't feeling super up to the chat today and so decided instead to quiz me about the half marathon and a weekend in Auckland. Some days are just harder than others so with Leece taking somewhat of a backward step from the mic I hope you're not feeling a total snooze fest. In the episode we go over the weekend which included the Auckland half marathon, my visiting friends, the current struggles of life on the Sunshine Coast, some book chat and some other little bits in between. As I ran around the Auckland half track I had some beaut smiles off in the distance and one or two 'go Move it Mama' chants from the little pockets of crowd. It was just another reminder of the power of this community and how fortunate we are to have you. To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz

Welcome back to the weekend synopsis with Leece and Jess. Leece is sipping her cacao as we record today, so you're blessed with a slurpy start. In today's episode we talk the tradition of ceremonial cacao (and coffee lol), finding and taking the time to stop for a second, musings about life just being all round hard (sorry if this is downer), today's LIVE workout and boobs, and the anxious ins and outs of Dan. Halfway through we take a trip down memory lane and somehow end up discussing one night stands and so thank goodness for that, with its ability to lighten the mood. Listeners of a younger age should probably not be around. We also cannot stop swearing - we'll do better! Love and thanks <3 To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz

Today's episode of the sparkle pod is the usual Monday debrief you've come to expect. From the time of the month and what it might do to ones bowel, the weekend synopsis - including the journey of Dan - longing for a bender (jokes), lessons in the loss of Liam Payne and among other bits, continuing to clutch at straws for a sparkle spreader. Although the sparkle spreader does come easily to Leece thanks to the wonderful community that is you. Your messages, thoughts, dreams and love are just so wholeheartedly, gratefully received. An early HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the sunshine girl, Lisa Fong. We f**king LOVE and adore you. To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz

How obvious is it that we're constantly looking up alternatives to 'chew the fat' as a podcast title? Don't answer that. Here we are on your Monday morning just running off at the mouth on all things weekend. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to find our feet each week, particularly with the current themes of life, but we somehow find our groove today and end up yabbering for 110 minutes. Over achievers aren't we!? Thanks again for being here. Week on week we're messaged in reference to the podcast, about some topic of chat you relate to, and it makes us smile every time. In today's episode we're talking super important hair decisions, theatre performances and the associated envy, kids and phones and of course the situation with Dan and all that comes with that. And of course, sprinkled throughout the episode are the lols and mispronunciations you've come to expect. Love you. To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz

Hello hello, another Mondae another chew the fat episode between Leece and Jess (the 'dae' will make sense soon). In today's episode we're fresh off the weekend, with Dan currently home at the Sunny Coast Fong household (unfortunately just for a few more days now), and Jess in the middle of her first school holidays. Somehow we find a lot to talk about today, as you can see from the length of this episode lol - of course a fair bit about Dan; how he's doing at the moment and what's been going on there in general, the school holiday juggle and associated musings, life just being hard, the power of human connection and bunch of other semi-rubbish chatter (but obviously super important at the time hehe). Special mention to the extra 20 minutes post sparkle spreader because sometimes that's just what we do. Also special mention to sis Leece (or Leaky Titties) who shows up on here like it ain't no thing and talks so openly about such a sh*tshow of a time, and we are so grateful to her for so many things. Thanks to you, too - our listeners - for being here. To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz

Hey pals, back with the Monday debrief again but at a time that throws us. Some DAYS YA KNOW (welcome to school hols). Leece is home with Dan - it's a nice patch in that respect but of course not without its challenges. Naturally we cover that, a trip to Bunnings, boil up, school holiday routines and our seemingly regular rigmaroles. Leece throws a spanner at the end and gives away the orange cardigan - if at all familiar to you, be in to win lol. Thanks for listening to our sisterly catch ups, for all of your messages of kindness and love, your ongoing support and so on. To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz

Our typical Monday morning debrief recorded early afternoon Wednesday and straight into your ear holes for Wednesday night. Going into this chat we really felt we had nothing to give, but between Tresemme haircare and Leece's mispronunciation we had quite a lot of fun. We were also a bit anxious today, for reasons we explain, and to mention now that the news has been received and it was positive news at that so, WOW, just wow. We chat lots of bits, visitors in and out, what's been going on, hair care lol, Ritual42. school holidays and so on. Thanks for being here.
