The Identity Shift | Juggling Family & Ambition (with Lou Wilson)

Returning to work after having a baby is one of the most emotionally complex things a mother will ever do. And yet somehow, we’re expected to just get on with it. 🤍 This week we sit down with Lou Wilson from The Village for a conversation that is long overdue. We talk about what it really feels like to walk back into the workplace as a mum. The guilt, the identity shift, the juggle that never quite feels balanced. We get into what career ambition looks like when you’re also someone’s everything at home. And we discuss what really needs to change with parental leave for there to be a noticeable shift. This is the conversation working mums and dads deserve to have.

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.
