Perinatal Anxiety, lying about Botox and wow you're so massive
Cost Of Living is at an all time high in Australia, and also it seems, Perinatal Anxiety. Or is that just the Blue Super Full Moon??? We discuss. Joy was asked if she had Gestational Diabetes, and lots of mums to be told how large (and small and everything in-between) they are, so everyone is having a fabulous time.

Imposter Syndrome, influencer kids and date night pressure
Do you compare yourself to other mums on social media?? Should child influencers be able to sue their parents for money?? Do we need Date Nights for a successful relationship? And did you know that mothers work for an average of 97 hours per week and should earn $184 820 per year???
We discuss all of this and more, in today's episode. Joy and Caitlin have both had better weeks, and looking forward to manifesting something new this Leo New Moon.

Sexy fantasies, friendship fallouts and male infertility
Is parenthood an excuse for friend breakups? Do women bear the mental load of male infertility? How would you deal with negative feedback from a complete stranger? What is your experience with breastfeeding and return to work?? And why is Caitlin only having sexy dreams about people she has seen in documentaries??!!! We answer these questions, and more, in today's episode.
There are a few technical issues this week, so we apologise in advance if the sound quality is not as good as usual, and we are as well trying to remember that done is better than perfect (pls don't give us any one star reviews!!! Or maybe do?! We can handle it)

Perfect mothers, sexist comments* and parental burnout
We are all Burnt Out, can anyone truly be a Perfect Mother, and is it ever OK to comment on a mother's ambition after she has had a child??? (Article Two is from The Guardian* - apologies for forgetting to announce that, a sign of our burn out perhaps!!)
We discuss all of this, and more in today's episode. Joy has had a better week, and Caitlin hasn't thrown any watermelons so everyone is winning. It is also Leo Season so time to put your best foot forward.
We hope you have had a good week, what has gone well?? What hasn't??? Come and find us on instagram and join the conversation xx
