This week we talk to Toni Street. Toni is a mum of three, and a certified ray of sunshine! She’s one of New Zealand's most popular television and radio personalities — a journalist, broadcaster, former co-host of top-rating TVNZ current affairs show Seven Sharp, and current breakfast radio host on Coast. Given her sunny disposition and bubbly personality, it would be easy to assume that Toni hasn’t had to deal with a lot of adversity, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. We talk to Toni about what it was like to go through the grief of losing three siblings, and her battle with a little known autoimmune disease that reared its head after the birth of her second child. We also delve into the world of surrogacy, as Toni explains what it was like to have her best friend carry her baby.

Check out Toni’s book, ‘Lost and Found’ here and follow her on Instagram @tonimstreet.

This week, we chat to devoted mum, Kate Twigg, about her journey with breast cancer (that would be Gary), and more recently, Leukaemia (Gary’s uninvited mate, Larry). Through breathwork, meditation, yoga, and a richly stocked dress-up box, Kate’s found her own way to cope through diagnosis, treatment and the repercussions that a cancer journey brings. 

The unexpected by-product of Kate’s cancer diagnosis was the confronting realisation she was using alcohol as a coping mechanism. We discuss our drinking culture, habits (eek), and the importance of setting boundaries. 

You can follow Kate’s journey on Instagram: @tn_beatingcanceragain. She’s open, honest, and bloody funny.

This week we ask Somatic Sexologist, Morgan Penn, if putting 'tab A' into 'slot B' is the only way to have sex. (Spoiler — it's not). Morgan tells us how to redefine intimacy in our relationships with our partners and ourselves. We talk about reclaiming your post-partum body, navigating post-partum sex, and how to have those conversations that feel all kinds of awkward.

In this first episode of Untidy, hosts, Matilda Green and Hannah Davison answer the question, "What the hell are we doing here?" It's a love story that embraces leaky boobs, crying in the laundry and the admission that neither has it all together.

They compare notes on the messiest birth stories and confess parental insecurities as they try to figure out directions to this 'village' that's supposed to help them raise their kids. 

Untidy podcast is about honouring the person within the parent, and it's time to bring some gritty conversations out from behind closed doors.
