Parenthood

This week’s solo episode is all about how I (try to) discipline my kids.

I reflect on whether yelling is worth my energy or time and does it have the impact I was hoping for.

Whether reward systems actually work and how I’m using them to instil positive habits.

Why mapping out the day and key activities ahead of time has been a game-changer.

Whether bribery is a necessary evil, why empty threats are so easy to give and so much more.

If you’re keen to get your kids to do what you want them to do – or try to – this  one is for you.

This week I’m chatting to Tiff Hall & Ed Kavalee about how they juggle it all, including:

🎙 The pressure of the ‘bounce back’ culture - and why Tiff is all about ‘bouncing forward'

🎙 Realisations around career ambition vs reality, when you’re a new parent

🎙 Why telling your kids to ‘ask you anything’ and you’ll find the answer, isn’t always a clever move

🎙 The Amazing Race recap

and so much more…

This week’s solo episode is all about my anxiety around meal time. Specifically my kid’s meal time.

One kid is a bottomless pit and the other has a beige diet preference.

Meaning one eats us out of the house and we’re lucky if we get 2 spoons of rice into our other kid.

In this episode I talk about how I’m trying to get my kid to finish a meal and have a well-balanced diet.

Whilst not comparing my kids to every other kid who’s eating raw capsicums.

If your life also feels a lil stress around the kid food front,

this one is for you.

In this week’s Real Talk episode we’re chatting all things starting prep.

Separation anxiety, school parent judgment, schedules and more .

We go deep on Liv’s first day experience and why it was not Insta worthy.

If you’re experiencing new chapters with your kid, are feeling

all the feels about the year ahead, this one is for you.

This week’s solo episode is all about how I’m (trying to) juggle it all.

You name it; 2 schools, 2 jobs, separation anxiety, mental overload, my own anxiety and more.

I spill tea on how I’m surviving and what is a life-saver for me in managing the chaos.

If your life also feels a lil organised-chaotic, this one is for you.

This week I’m joined by Jacquie Ward, a psychologist who works with children, adolescents & their families. Jacquie answers your questions including:

🎙 When a child’s reluctance is more than ‘just nerves’ and could be social anxiety, neuro-divergence etc.
