Full Time, Her Way: Zoe Tardif

The 4th trimester post-partum care, with Tamara Gerdis

Nobody tells you that postpartum recovery isn’t linear. That it isn’t quick. And that what you see online is almost never the full picture. We sat down with Tamara Gerdis from Physio Down Under and she is here to bust every myth you’ve ever been told about bouncing back after a baby. We talk about what’s actually happening in your body after birth, what recovery really looks like, what the red flags are that you shouldn’t ignore, and why the pressure to “get your body back” is one of the most damaging narratives in motherhood. Spoiler alert! You didn’t lose your body. You grew a human in it. This is a must listen.

How much do we really know about our pelvic floor - with special guest Tamara Gerdis

Leaking when you laugh? Pain you’ve just learned to live with? Feeling like your body hasn’t quite been yours since having a baby? You are not alone and more importantly, you don’t have to just accept it. We sat down with women’s health physio Tamara from Physio Down Under for an honest, no-filter conversation about pelvic floor health. From what’s actually normal postpartum, to the signs you should never ignore, to the support and treatment options available to you. Because you deserve to feel good in your body again. 💛 Tamara was a godsend for both us during our pregnancies and postpartum journey.

Slow motherhood - a good reminder or another thing to feel guilty about?

Pinterest says "Slow Motherhood" is trending up by 310%. Our first instinct? Ehhhhh, no thanks. We’re tired. 🙄 It’s easy to look at the aesthetic - the intentional walks, the linen pants, the sourdough - and feel like it’s just another stick to beat working mums with. But what if "Slow Motherhood" isn't about perfection? What if it's actually about the death of the overscheduled kid? So this week we're getting into it. What slow motherhood actually means beyond the Instagram version. Why a generation of parents is starting to question the over-scheduled, over-optimised childhood we've been sold. And whether any of this is remotely possible when you have a full time job, a mortgage, multiple kids, and a Saturday morning standing on a humid rugby field at 8am holding a 2L bottle of iced water wondering how your life came to this. Slow motherhood doesn't mean lazy. It might just mean sane.

The juggle: finding calm in the chaos

The juggle isn’t just logistics, it’s emotional. It’s carrying the mental load of work, motherhood, relationships and everyday life, while constantly feeling like you could be doing more. In this episode, we talk openly about what balance actually looks like for us in this season of life, the balls that inevitably drop, and the small things helping us survive the chaos a little better. Because maybe the goal isn’t doing it all perfectly. Maybe it’s giving ourselves a little more grace, and knowing that showing up and trying your best is already enough.

Full Time, Her Way: Zoe Tardif

This week, we sit down with Zoe, the co-founder of longevity nutrition company, For Youth. It’s a conversation filled with laughs and a few honest truth bombs. We talk about what it really means to love what you do, the spark (and chaos) of starting something from scratch, and why success doesn’t always look the way we’ve been taught. Zoe shares her journey of backing herself, building something she’s genuinely passionate about, and redefining what “enough” looks like. It’s not about chasing more. It’s about being deeply happy with what’s already around you. If you’ve ever questioned the hustle, felt the pull to do your own thing, or wondered if there’s another way to do work and life, this one’s for you. For Youth has very kindly offered our listeners up to 35% off (Code: FULLTIMERS35). T&Cs apply.
