This week my partner BJ is back in the hot seat to talk about all things travelling with babies. We are the furthest people from experts you will find but thought it could be fun to detail our experience and learnings on the matter. Also who was admitted to hospital on our holiday and who accidentally smuggled something back into NZ? Find out all the juicy goss from our fun little trip xoxo

Apologies in advance for my slightly echoey voice in this one - an unplugged mic will do that to ya, oops!

As a new mum I have not read a book in quite some time so this week Adam Ashton is doing the hard yards for me. Adam is one of the hosts of the podcast What You Will Learn which essentially brings to life the best bits from the best books so you don’t have to read them. In this episode Adam runs through 5 books you should read in 2023 and its important to note the ones we dive into have a real focus on personal development… my favourite!

I have included a list of the books below so if you feel compelled you can get stuck in at home xo

To celebrate International Women’s Day, this week I am going to share an episode of a podcast I featured in earlier this year. The podcast is Figuring Out 30 hosted by  former Triple J presenter Bridget Hustwaite. The podcast is a deep dive into navigating your 30s and all the wonderful slash terrifying things that present around this time of life. I’d had a work crush on Bridget since moving to Melbourne as she hosted the night show when we started breakfast on KIIS and would find myself thinking how can I become friends with this gal?! Think of this episode as a beginning to that friendship… we talk quitting a job that is a massive part of your identity, shifting priorities and a bunch of different kinds of grief.

This week I chat to one third of the brains behind SHIT YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT. If you don’t already follow them on Instagram, there’s a good chance you have seen their posts shared by friends. Today I am joined by Lucy who is from small town Blenheim of New Zealand and started the page a few years back. What started as a way of communicating the news in a more relatable fashion has eventuated into the account gaining massive engagement and follows from the likes of Ariana Grande to Dan Levy and Joe Rogan. In this ep we chat keeping anonymity online, the downside of being reactive to news and how have these small town besties done so well? Lucy felt like catching up with an old bestie, what a treat!

There is a word I have never really associated with that strongly and that word is ‘organised’. But as I have got older (and less wiser) I have found I have craved a greater sense of order in my life. Perhaps it’s the busy-ness that comes with constantly juggling keeping a little one alive, cleaning the house and finding enough creativity to help pay the mortgage and bills. My old ways of she’ll be right just don’t feel quite ‘enough’ anymore. I need more structure, discipline and hacks! So to deliver us hacks and advice when it comes to tidying up and organising our lives I am joined by Professional Home Organiser and Decluttering Coach Kirsty Farrugia. Clean me up Kirsty!!

I am talking all things postpartum recovery and exercise this week with Ren and Jen from She Moves. She Moves is an online workout programme here in New Zealand which has grown into a super supportive community for new mums trying to prioritise their mind and body. We talk hacks for new mums, achieving realistic goals and normalising thriving one day and surviving the next. We also talk the biggest myths re ‘bouncing back’ and I am given a stern lecture after revealing something I have not done since giving birth… hopefully I am not alone here… Check out the girls more HERE and listen to their brand new podcast HERE.
