Insane amount of adverts
1 minute of content for 3 minutes of adverts. Totally interrupting the flow of the conversation. Find it really hard to listen to.

Very interesting podcast. So relevant. Motherhood is a difficult job. Would like to see podcasts reflect the issue of estrangement and adult children.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Surprising Skill Every Child Needs to thrive in an Uncertain Future

Q: Why should someone stay with this episode if they're curious about using drama to help their kids build confidence?

The guest explains that stage-based learning gives children tangible tools to handle nerves, read body language, and communicate in person, which translates into stronger confidence and resilience as they grow. Real-life examples show improvements in school presentations, interviews, and social interactions.

Lou Beckett: Why Mothers Carry So Much of the Mental Load and How to Change It

Q: What practical steps would you recommend to a listener who feels stuck in default-parent roles?

Start conversations early, establish a parenting plan, use I-statements, and protect your own time for self-care to avoid burnout and maintain your identity outside parenting.

Lou Beckett: Why Mothers Carry So Much of the Mental Load and How to Change It

Q: How did your own partnership dynamic change after the book came out?

Rob read the book and engaged with the concept, leading to more concrete shifts like how sun cream duties were shared and a broader re-evaluation of time and diary management.

Why You Feel Guilty Resting in Motherhood (And Why You Don't Have to Earn It)

Q: Can you explain how important it is for us to regulate our nervous systems when we think about becoming more of a relaxed woman?

Regulating our nervous systems is foundational because it creates a safer internal state that makes rest achievable and sustains calm in daytime challenges, modeling healthy stress management for children.

Dr Mindy Pelz: The Surprising Cause of Brain Fog Every Mother Needs to Know

Q: How should someone start a fasting routine as a beginner?

Begin with a target of around 13 hours fasting per day, gradually extend the window, and push breakfast later in the morning while using coffee without sugar (and minimal cream) to manage hunger.
