September 12, 2021 MUMNESIA
Have you ever have those moments where your brain fog is so bad? You were positive you didn't have those socks on before you got in the shower? Or perhaps you've driven 6 blocks only to realise your 5 year old is sitting next to you in the passenger seat. Eeep…Yep!!
This episode we hear from you - our sublime MABN listeners who have shared their Mumnesia mis-haps with us. A hilarious montage of moments from mothers who've experienced/are still in the throws of, pregnancy or post-baby mum brain. Trust us on this one - we're still laughing.

September 05, 2021 SO YOU'RE A SPORTS MUM
We solemnly swear we'll never be that parent, but if you aren't already, it's coming baby. Perhaps it's something in our DNA, a genetic throwback from our caveman ancestors that instills a scary kinda competitiveness that sees us hurling meat pies at the floor and obscenities at poor Timmy who didn't quite make that goal.
Whether you're a passionate parent of a budding dancer or a future Olympic discus thrower, supporting our children to win win win is clearly in our blood. But should we apologise for it? Discuss.

August 29, 2021 HOME SCHOOLING
Lockdowns have given us a lot of things; a chance to be with the loved ones we previously never had time for, the beauty of reflection in a world ravaged by a seemingly never ending pandemic, and a chance to tackle those stubborn in-grown hairs we've been eyeing off for the last 6 months. But home schooling our kids is definitely one of those beasts we can add to the bad list along with masks, loss of individual liberties and Zoom meetings. This episode we celebrate all teachers far and wide for doing a job we clearly have no training for. From pre-school to high school and everything in between, we endeavour to guide our children through their yearly curriculum with or without our heads screwed on.

August 22, 2021 WHO'S YOUR DADDY
We know our partners, but do we really know what they are thinking?!!? This is a chance to jump inside their heads and get the low down on Dad guilt..is it a thing? What about self-care? How many times a week is a good amount of sex, and what do they imagine child birth is really like? Do they just have that caveman mentality with a side of Netflix and golf! It's time to open that dad book once and for all. All cards are on the table...

August 15, 2021 DIRTY RHYMES
Just for fun this episode Shanelle and Tamara uncover the sometimes shocking, sometimes debauched history behind the rhymes you've grown up on and have now passed on to your children. Each has a lesson to be learned or a warning to be heeded; who really was Mother Hubbard? What's with Peter and his pumpkins? And why are silverbells and cockleshells something to be feared? Motherhood a Beautiful Nightmare shed light on them all. Watch out, it's a shocker!

August 08, 2021 LET'S TALK SEX
In this episode we chat about the limits our bodies afford us after having kids and how this impacts sexy times for you and your partner. We're talking feeling sexy when you're breast feeding, applauding your wobbly bits, and how the hell you get your vagina back into gear when all it wants to do is shut up shop. Let's get freaky ladies!

August 01, 2021 SH!T MUM
Shanelle and Tamara share their 'Sh!t Mum' moments in the hope that you can feel a little better about your own. Why do we love them soooo much yet want to return them from whence they came, all at the same time? Yes it's confusing, and no amount of 'child rearing' non-fiction will give you a definitive answer. It's survival of the fittest, and no one is winning.

July 25, 2021 SCHOOL RUN
If you have this one under control you're onto something mum, but for most of us we're multi-tasking like an octopus whilst suppressing our anxiety for the most part. Cornflakes or toast? Make up your bloody mind! If packing a lunch, finding a missing left shoe or avoiding death-by-school crossing gets your knickers in a twist (or did you forget to put those on??), then we're hearing you loud and clear.
Let's get this one off our chest.

June 20, 2021 GREAT EXPECTATIONS
That emergency biscuit or lolly in your bag is your secret bribery weapon to ensure your kids are on their best behaviour. Where would we all be without the helpful tool that is ‘bribery’. We constantly battle with the fine line between supporting your child to excel and the continual push for extra curricular activities because they asked for it (let's face it, you paid for the term and now they hate ballet/tennis/karate/gymnastics...)
Strap yourselves in, this episode covers all of the above and more!

June 13, 2021 THE BIRTH
So you've given birth, but it's all good, you've just put Xena the Warrior Princess to shame with your heroic efforts. We chat everything from hot doctors, drugs and nose beads, to baby blues and post-baby bloating. A Queen is giving birth, so give her anything she wants! No one story is the same.
