Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Would you ever consider boarding school? - with rural mum Amanda Ferrari, founder of The Boarding School Collective
Q: Why do you think boarding schools are important for rural families?
They provide access to diverse subject choices, sports, and a pathway that small rural schools often can't offer, reducing the need to move far away and giving families options that fit their child's needs.
Is listening to our gut the key to decreasing burn out? - with With Stacie, mum of 3 and Emotional Intelligence Coach
Q: How did Stacie's journey into motherhood begin, and what were the early experiences like?
Stacie describes becoming a mother at a young age, the shift from planning to unplanned pregnancies, and the challenges of doing everything 'right' while navigating lack of feedback and the learning curve of motherhood.
Our kids’ personal safety, where do we even begin? Child sexual abuse prevention - with Alison Geale, CEO of Bravehearts
Q: How should parents respond if a child tells them something has happened?
Remain calm, avoid leading questions, convey belief and support, gather essential details without escalating emotion, and involve appropriate authorities or professionals as needed.
Our kids’ personal safety, where do we even begin? Child sexual abuse prevention - with Alison Geale, CEO of Bravehearts
Q: Are there guidelines around what to talk about at what age?
There are resources and age-appropriate scripts; parents should use curious, open-ended questions and frame conversations as ongoing learning rather than one big talk, with trusted sources like ChildSafety.gov.au and Bravehearts providing guidance.
You’re having twins… again?! - with Leila from Village For Mama, post partum doula and mum of 5 kids (2 sets of twins)
Q: What were the biggest challenges you anticipated when you found out you were having twins again, given you already had twins?
I knew I would be overwhelmed by the sheer logistics, so my focus shifted to securing a strong support network and planning for the outside-of-baby tasks—household management, school runs, and meals—so I could rest and bond with the babies.
