This Glorious Mess Mamamia

Money, money, money - we truly wish it was just an ABBA song, but in reality, talking about money can be very uncomfortable.
For primary carers, finances and superannuation can take a significant hit, especially when relying on a partner’s salary during maternity leave.
In this week's episode, Annaliese and Tegan tackle the question: when it comes to money, career, and family - can women really have it all, or have they been sold a lie?
Plus, Sarah Marie helps a mother who’s torn between having another child and returning to work.

Welcome to a brand new podcast from This Glorious Mess called Parents Anonymous.
Part Church Confessional, part Game Show, this is where you share your deepest, darkest parenting confessions to get that guilt off your chest. We'll score each confession, and here at parents anonymous, the worst parenting moment wins the most points.
To kick things off, we have three juicy secrets: a butt dial gone wrong, a dummy fairy incident, and a questionable donation.
If you have a confession to share, leave us a voice note or email us at tgm@mamamia.com.au.

We need to talk about sleep. Not your kids sleep - YOUR sleep.
This episode Tegan and Annaliese share how the mental load impacts their sleep, and discuss how a "sleep divorce" could be the key to a good nights rest.
Annaliese speaks to a sleep expert, leading to her full meltdown after learning about the mistakes she's been making and how we could all be doing better in the bedroom.
Plus, Sarah Marie hears from a mom craving alone time but feeling like she'll never get it. 
And, we hear from the regional mum who feeds her kids dinner at 3pm (yes you read that right) all in the name of calm afternoons and a better sleep routine.

Who do you turn to on the tough days of parenting? When you're stuck in the trenches a phone call, a play date, or a coffee catch-up can be like oxygen.
Today, in this brand new chapter of This Glorious Mess, hosts Annaliese Todd and Tegan Natoli kick things off with a shout-out to the village. The people in your community who lift you up, spark joy, and sit with you through the tough moments.
We also welcome a very special new friend, Sarah Marie Fahd. She's here to help, or at the very least, let you vent out your parenting problems.
Plus, we introduce a new kind of recommendation, the essential items you might need to add to your parenting toolkit to help fill your cup.

When was the last time you got the girls together for dinner? According to This Glorious Mess scientific data, it's likely been at least four months since your last social catch-up.
In this episode, Libby and Tegan encourage mums to move their catch-ups from the group chat back into real life.
And they discuss whether there's a specific age when you should stop being naked in front of your kids, questioning if it's necessary to set those boundaries just yet.
Plus, stay tuned for a surprise announcement at the end of the show.
