The Wired Mama Diaries Podcast

This episode is a little scrapbook of core memories we’ll never forget. We’re sharing the videos behind some of our favourite moments, kids dancing to the artists we grew up loving, the absolute magic of toddlerhood in its sweetest era, best friends meeting our babies for the first time, and our favourite niece having her main character moment running a race.It’s nostalgic, wholesome, emotional, and full of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it seasons of family life. Just two mums soaking up the chaos, the joy, and the memories that end up meaning everything.If you’re in your soft family era, this one’s for you babe.

Izzy’s doing her makeup, rushing out the door for a job, and somehow we still end up deep in it… parenting without the gender rulebook.We’re talking about raising a boy who’s allowed to cry, feel, and be soft without shame. About reminding ourselves that strength isn’t just for girls who “break the mold” but for all kids learning who they are. About unlearning the quiet, sneaky messages we grew up with and choosing something better for our child.Because emotions aren’t “too much.”Boys aren’t “too sensitive.”Girls aren’t “too loud.”Kids are just… human. And they deserve to be raised that way.It’s chaotic, it’s real, and it’s all happening between mascara coats and life moving way too fast.

This week we’re talking about what it actually feels like living as neurodivergent people in a world that just… doesn’t get it. Izzy shares a really raw story about becoming selectively mute in a busy shopping centre and what that felt like in her body and mind.We also dive into everything currently going on in life… toilet training chaos, upcoming hysterectomy emotions, and all the little overwhelming moments stacking up behind the scenes.It’s honest, a bit all over the place, a little heavy, but also very us. If you’ve ever felt like the world is just too loud, too fast, or too much… you’re gonna feel seen in this one 💅

this week we’re literally recording from izzy’s car, dealing with camera glitches but pushing through anyway lol. we talk about the official date for bec’s hysterectomy and all the feelings that come with it, plus a really rough daycare drop off that just hit a bit too hard. we also get into izzy’s new little side hustle era and what that’s been like so far.it’s messy, emotional, a bit all over the place… but very us 💅

Welcome back to the pod 💗We FINALLY did it… the gentle parenting episode you’ve all been asking for 👀This week we’re getting into *gentle parenting*… but like, in real life. Not the aesthetic version. The actual, messy, figuring-it-out-as-we-go version.We talk about how Izzy was lowkey gentle parented before it even had a name, while Bec… very much was not 😅 and how that’s shaped the way we both show up as mums now.We also got ChatGPT to throw us some parenting scenarios based on the ages and genders of our three kids, and walked through how we’d respond using gentle parenting in each one. Some felt natural, some were a stretch, and all of it was very honest.If you’ve been waiting for this one, it’s here. And if you’ve ever wondered “am I doing this right?” or felt torn between how you were raised and how you want to parent… this one’s for you 💞

Motherhood is hard. Like… no matter what stage you’re in, someone somewhere has an opinion about how you’re doing it.This week we get real about parenting and why every phase comes with its own chaos. From toddler meltdowns to the mental load of constantly questioning your decisions, we talk about how exhausting it can be when everyone seems to have advice about how you should raise your kid.We dive into breaking cycles, unpacking the way we were parented, and what it looks like to actually try building gentle parenting structures in real life. Not the Pinterest version. The messy, figuring-it-out-as-you-go version.Also… Bec had *another* seizure?! We talk about the whole situation, what happened, and how scary this week has been.It’s a big one. Parenting chats, cycle breaking, unsolicited opinions, and a very chaotic week.

This week we unpack a pretty intense few days. Bec shares what happened during a scary medical situation that ended with an ambulance call and a seizure, and we talk about how she’s doing after a really confronting week.We also get into the cultural moment that is Bad Bunny and chat about the impact he’s had on the Latinx community here in Australia. If you’re part of the community, you know how big that energy is.To wrap it up, we reflect on the week that was and catch up on everything that’s been going on behind the scenes.Real life, big feelings, and a proper weekly debrief. 🎙️

When the house is still and nobody needs snacks, answers, or emotional regulation from us, who are we?In this early morning outdoor episode, we get up at the crack of dawn and record as the sun rises around us. No noise, no notifications, no tiny hands pulling at our shirts. Just us, our thoughts, and the quiet questions that only show up before the world wakes up.We talk about identity outside of motherhood, the dreams we whisper to ourselves, the fears that feel louder in the dark, and the kind of women we’re becoming when no one is watching. It’s soft. It’s honest. It’s a little existential in a gay way.If you’ve ever lain awake before your family gets up and felt that weird mix of peace and longing, this one’s for you.

In this ep, Izzy takes Bec out for her first real South American BBQ moment, and yes, it’s a full main character experience. Think smoky meats, chimichurri, chaos, and Izzy low-key emotional about it.

They chat about Izzy’s connection to her South American roots, what it actually felt like growing up between cultures, and how food is lowkey her love language. She opens up about why keeping culture alive matters so much to her now that she’s raising Austin, and the small intentional ways she brings it into their everyday life. Music, language, family rituals, the whole soft but powerful vibe.

It’s giving heritage. It’s giving motherhood. It’s giving “I’m building the childhood I needed.”

Come for the BBQ. Stay for the identity deep dive and the wholesome mum feels.

We sat down to record a vulnerable episode about being proud of our achievements. You know, the uncomfortable kind of proud. The kind that makes you want to shrink the second you say it out loud.But the energy in the room shifts.What starts as a deep conversation about self-worth slowly turns… strange. There’s a presence. A feeling. Something that seems to step in and guide the conversation somewhere we weren’t planning to go.Izzy gets scared. Like genuinely unsettled. The vibe feels intense. Heavy. Not normal.But Bec? Calm. Grounded. She feels like whatever is there isn’t dangerous. It feels safe to her. Protective, even.So now we’re trying to unpack pride, imposter syndrome, AND a possible entity that lowkey takes over the episode.Is it internalized shame? A metaphor? A ghost?Why does vulnerability feel like something is trying to silence us?And why did it feel safe to one of us and terrifying to the other?This episode is chaotic, tender, and a little haunted.Come sit with us. If you dare.
