Ever wondered about the appropriate way to approach gender identity, use language in a way to make people feel comfortable and even more so - how to explain and guide your kids in all of this?? We certainly have! So today we have the best person to guide us through gender identity, inclusivity and ultimately how we can raise our children to be their authentic selves in a gendered world. Our guest Adrienne Harper-Pike shares her lived experience with feeling 'othered' and as a bit of outsider in the way she was raised in a conservative bible belt, mid-west American community. She's now a mother of 5-year-old twins living in Victoria, Australia, in a queer relationship with a non-binary partner. She practices an 'aware parenting’ style to raise her children and works as an ‘aware parenting’ educator. In this episode she shares her wonderful and inclusive insight to language, labelling, gender identity and raising children. A fascinating and informative chat. We hope you enjoy.

Ever feel overwhelmed, underachieved and frazzled by the daily grind? We get it, we do too sometimes. In today’s episode we go over some of the challenges we’ve faced in staying on top of things with work, household chores and well...kids. But, we come with the solutions we've found that help support these challenges as well! We talk getting prepared, being a step ahead, reevaluating what works for changing situations and environments and the tools we use to do so! Communication tactics, shared calendars, meal planning, avoiding niggling conversations like money, kids routines and so much more! Hope this helps you with one or two struggles you share.

We're so happy to be sharing Kate's birth story with you guys today! We chat through all the details of her 3rd (and as she keeps trying to convince us....FINAL!!) birth. Kate talks through how it all went down, the top things that helped her get through and all the ups and downs. We answer your listener questions and also get a taste of what early postpartum is looking like for Kate and her family. All the good stuff! It's so nice to share birth stories, we have learned so much from listening to others and find comfort in commonalities with others experiences, so we hope you do too. Another little human safely in the world. A true miracle ❤️

We've got a sexy episode for you today everybody and we're here for it! We noticed that you were all rather interested last time we spoke with a sexologist so here we are again to unpack some more on the sex front. Let's be honest, once we go through pregnancies, having babies and raising children there's a lot to unpack. Today we talk to psychologist and sex therapist Emma St John. We chatted about sexual desire and the meaning around it, the seasons in our relationships that change the landscape of sex. Emma shares her approach to sexual well-being and how she merges psychology and sexuality to foster a holistic approach and we mostly talk about our relationships and how we navigate not just sex but connection, intimacy, communication and so much more. 

It feels like it's been forever since we had a good old chat and catch-up on life's challenges and triumphs (let's celebrate the wins, hey!) So, here we are with our current sitch on kids, family life, pregnancies, babies and everything in between. The in between being mum rage, sassy kids, pizza for dinner... You know, the important stuff. We also reflect on our recent mini-series 'Being' and what well-being means to us and why we even went down the path to explore it. It's so nice to back with a Kate and Soph ep. We hope you guys enjoy it :)

Today is the 3rd and final guest of our 'being' series and it's with the wonderful Yahna Fookes! Yahna is the founder of birth education workshop Radiant Birth, she’s a trained dancer, qualified Vinyasa, Yin and Prenatal Yoga Teacher and Mother to her daughter Sunday. Yahna's vision is to demystify the journey through motherhood and create a strong community of like-minded women and she is certainly on a path of doing so. We loved hearing her personal stories, her passionate opinions and her take on community and inclusivity. A great chat! Enjoy :)

Josh is a fascinating person with so much drive and dedication to social responsibility and helping people. We can all take out a leaf out of his book! Founder of the 'Just be nice' project Josh aims to change the way that people help people; until they are housed, employed and have positive mental health outcomes. In this episode he shares some of his personal experiences that led him to where he is, what others have gained and also what he has gained from spreading his word and passion. Along with some great ideas on how we can all gain better mental health outcomes by helping others! We loved this one. Enjoy!

Sometimes in life you meet some truely inspiring and just simply great people. Katie Thompson is one of those people. We talk to her about her life and love for the outdoors, physical education and the joy of movement. She sheds some light on the needs of our young first nations women and the incredible 'girls on country' program that she facilitates in Mparntwe, Alice Springs. We talk about the link between movement and mind and the positive outcomes just moving more can have on our overall well-being. This was a great chat, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! 

We recently chatted to Melbourne Mum & entrepreneur Adele Barbaro. Adele delivers an honest and raw insight into her beautifully busy life as a wife, mother of 2 and business owner. But let's not forget to mention her huge and highly engaged online following that she shares the ins and outs and ups and downs of life in a totally honest, authentic and effortless way. How refreshing! We chatted about meeting her man, her fertility journey, her unexpected career pivot, what she gets from her online community and where she's at now. A great story, a great listen. We're sure you'll enjoy this one :)

In today's episode we are joined by the  amazing Lael Stone. We spoke to Lael all about the concept of ‘aware parenting’ and what this means. Young kids with big feelings and how we as parents navigate this, finding balance and boundaries, helping and nurturing our children to self regulate themselves and so much more. Lael shares with us some seriously great tips, we know you’re going to love this chat… Enjoy friends!

You’ve heard us talk about them, they’ve heard us talk about them… it’s time to introduce them. Our other halves and Dad’s of our children, Soph’s partner Ayden and Kate's Husband Mackie join us for one big chit chat on parenting, fatherhood and everything in between. 

We feel pretty lucky to have open, honest and not afraid to say what they think partners who generously shared some of their most touching experiences as well as all the day to day crap that gets in the way. This one’s to celebrate the Dad’s, they don’t always get a lot of space in the parenting world like mothers do so we hope that you and / or your partner finds something in this episode to relate to, agree with and even be comforted by commonalities. Share this one with your other half! We’ve also got Bianca Burge from Plan B sleep consulting giving us all the goods on baby sleep, routines, developments and tips! We hope you enjoy :) 

Well we asked and you answered…! We clearly all have questions around sex and the impacts kids have on our sexual relationships so we spoke to an expert to get the low down on how we’re all feeling and why. Aleeya Hachem, sexologist and fertility counsellor answers all our questions around sex postpartum, re-connecting with our partners, libido, sexual desires, exploring your sexuality and so much more juicy goodness ;)

We’re back baby! Today we chat through some of our experiences and thoughts on going from none to one child and one to two children and how we’re apparently more productive with more kids in tow... Are we actually being more productive though, just because we're doing way more? Or are we all just multitasking to get through the days and is multitasking even good for us? Well we unpack it. We’ve also got a great ‘Sharing is Caring’ guest in today’s episode. We’re joined by the founder of new fertility unfiltered and women's health brand Moode, Jess Rosenberg. We hope you all enjoy!
