The Beautiful Nightmare episodes
- YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ON TV
From Disney to British TV, the Eighties and Nineties brought us some of the best children's television we'll never forget. It's the kind of nostalgia we love to look back on, and hope our kids do the same thing. Or do we? MABN give you some gob smacking examples of moments in kids television- Rugrats, The Jetsons, Pepper Pig- where sexual innuendo, racism and misogyny are too hard to ignore.
It's the end of Season 5, but hang around and the ladies will be back with a roaring Season 6 very soon...

45 min - AGE IS JUST A NUMBERThis episode the ladies weigh up the pros and cons on the age scale, beginning with what it means to have babies in your late teens, twenties, thirties, forties and beyond. We're all affected differently depending on circumstance and situation, and here we have a chance to hear from the MABN listeners about their experience on the psychological and emotional load, physical changes and societal pressures. Whether we like it or not, the biological clock doth tick.

52 min - BIRTHDAY BONANZALove them or hate them, kids parties provide us with stress on multiple levels. From the anxiety of parents staying for a dose of cream brie, Prosecco and awkward chats, to the sheer horror of present assembly with our without batteries, it's surprising we put ourselves through the party wringer each and every year. But at the end of the day the kids are happy, and isn't that what it's all about? ...and to gift or re-gift- that, is the question.

49 min - AUNTY FLOWThis week MABN listeners share their period horror stories as the ladies discuss the joys of tampons and menstrual cups. Shanelle and Tamara may even give you a rendition of the ‘Rag Time Blues‘, surely it’s a song we should all be singing. Let’s start sharing and talking about our periods and we’ll be one step closer to removing the shame that we all unnecessarily carry.

54 min - THE CHRISTIAN HULL SPECIAL
These three spill the tea on their parents, from the lies they told us as kids to catching them in the act, and of course their ageing idiosyncrasies-they cover it all. Strap in for this one, it’s a hoot!

1 hr 11 min - FESTIVAL OF MUM
It might be a day you love, dislike, find stressful; one that makes you teary, anxious or just damned right entitled. However you might perceive the day, it means something different to each one of us. MABN talk shitty gifts, shitty kids and receive a visit from the infamous pair Rhonda and Raylene. Bless!

46 min - MUM INTERRUPTED
So here’s the thing about being a mum, you’re constantly- 'MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!!'- being interrupted. Whether it's your kids, partner or your phone, it's an uphill battle you'll never win (until the kids are at least, well, let's say, 21?)
This episodes looks at all the moments we're trying to preserve without being hijacked. As women our DNA provides the court on which we find ourselves pivoting in order to keep on top of all the things in our lives.
Now grab a wine, run that bath and put on those headphones- you might just get a good 5 minutes in...

51 min - THE EASTER MASH UPFamily gatherings, Rhonda and Raylene, hyperactive kids, hire car antics and lesbian wannabes, Shanelle and Tamara are popping the cork on Season 5.

42 min - THE CONSTANCE HALL SPECIAL
In the last episode of season 4, Shanelle and Tamara sit down with Con and chat all things motherhood, how it changes us and what excites us now, whilst highlighting some of the things we all face together.
It's raw, honest, hilarious and an episode where no Queen is left out- because we are more like our non-biological sisters than we may think!

1 hr 4 min - THE DEAL WITH MEALS
Just imagine- you're at your favourite eating spot, the sun's shining, you're with your family (bless 'em) and the world is good, until...yep, little Suzie has spilled the first drink of the evening, the twins have knocked over the menu board and the youngest is about to launch themselves off the table like a sugar induced superman. Ah, the serenity.
We need to feed our children (there's your first hot tip), but when it comes to meal time we just can't win. Shanelle and Tamara wax lyrical about these moments with our families that are an inevitable hot mess.

You’re perfectly…
imperfect, overworked and seriously misunderstood.

Shanelle and Tamara navigate the steep learning curve of life’s shit storm, giving you permission to stop, feel heard, and pour your beverage of choice.
Spoken with humour, heart and truth, it’s survival of the fittest and nobody’s winning. If laughter is your tonic and some A-Grade BS is your thing- this podcast is for you.
