  • SECRET WOMEN'S BUSINESS

    Have you stabbed yourself in the eye with the mascara wand by accident on a number of occasions? Jumped into a drop squat like a baseball catcher to stretch either new or freshly washed jeans? Do you wear the same bra for longer than the suggested time because it looks clean and smells fine? And lastly, what about holding your boobs when you run down the stairs?

    Shanelle and Tamara discuss the above and plenty more in the hope you’ll jump on the band wagon and admit some of the things that you do too! Let’s face it, men probably have no idea about some of the idiosyncrasies women have.  

    No matter where you are in the world, you'll find you are more like some of your fellow non-biological sisters than you may think!

  • CLOSE CALLS

    Have you lost your child in a public place? Found them walking around the house with sharp scissors waving hello at you? Or your innocent little one drinking the whole bottle of bubble blowing solution, whilst you took a shower. The list is never ending what these heart stoppers will get themselves into!

    Shanelle and Tamara share their own moments and those of other mums too, when things could have been an utter disaster, but the calm was restored, and our loveable rogues are all ok. It’s like walking the tight rope of life, whilst balancing your children on your head!!

    This episode Shanelle and Tamara may not have the definitive answers to why all your family’s ears are filled with wax (save for yours), but they’ll certainly debunk ‘expert’ advice on the subject!

  • THE RESOLUTION

    Every year we wonder why we bother setting goals, making plans, breaking habits, when it inevitably turns to sh%$ after January 14th. With the  global pandemic chomping at our heels it's especially hard; how do we plan for world domination when we don't even know if our kids will be going to school next week? 

    Shanelle and Tamara discuss the 'Top 20 resolutions for Tired Mum's' thanks to our most helpful advice columnist- Google.

  • THE MABN CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

    It's the most wonderful time of year! (Or so they say). Between juggling family festivities, delegating food prep or avoiding the dodgy Uncle it's the kind of mayhem we secretly love. And why? Because of the children. If the Elf on the Shelf hasn't got you by the balls yet, then wait a few years and join the throng of parents that are hastily spinning their endless web of lies to create the perfect Christmas magic for their beloved families. Go mums, you've got this!

    Enjoy the last episode of MABN's latest season- whatever gets you through the holidays.

  • REALITY BITES

    So often our diligence to provide for our family, work and home life isn't rewarded how we'd like. Escaping our reality for 8 minutes when you’ve got no s##ts left to give, is not only grossly underrated but a damn requirement! This episode discusses those moments in which we find ourselves, but are quickly reminded by those around us i.e. kids, family, (rearview mirrors) of the hamster wheel on which we're spinning. 

    Shanelle waxes lyrical about the struggles of having a bath, and Tamara  brags about that one time she upstaged Michael Buble.

    WARNING: we over share about periods a little bit...

  • PSYCHIC KIDS

    Shan and Tam, interview spiritual energy healer Maria Clarke about how to work out if you’re little one has the sixth sense, and the best way to nurture and help them understand it. A common belief the world over is that children are naturally more connected to the spirit realm. We need to discuss things that are essential to keeping these children happy and healthy, and how to avoid pitfalls that could spoil their special gifts.

    A child's world is filled with extraordinary things and Psychic gifts are present at an incredibly tender age. Does any of the following sound like your little one? Having an overwhelming fear of the dark, sensitive, night terrors and vivid dreams, being affected by emotional energies around them, reports of imaginary friends or maybe even a brief conversation with a loved one who is no longer here?

    Discussed is also how we can soul search to find our purpose outside of motherhood; “who am I and what do I want to do with my life?”  Travel the spiritual super highway and find out!

  • OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES
    It’s always great fun when kids speak their truth loudly out it public for the masses to hear. How they piece it all together in their little minds and then blurt it out, often leaves us with raised eyebrows and great content for that next coffee catch up. Shanelle and Tamara interview a bunch of pint sized cuties (including their own!) to find out exactly what they are thinking!
