    64| Katie CEO Sabbia Co, Building a clean skincare brand from the ground up, motherhood, manifesting and universal downloads.

    What does it take to leave the security of a stable career and bet everything on a dream? From $2,000 to a Thriving Skincare Empire with Katie, CEO of Sabbia Co In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Katie, CEO and co-founder of Sabbia Co, the clean skincare brand helping thousands of people feel confident in their skin again. In her mid-twenties, Katie took a huge leap of faith, leaving her marketing career and convincing her tradie partner, Dave, to back her vision. With just $2,000 each and plenty of determination, they launched SabbiCo from the ground up. Seven years later, Sabbia Co has grown into a thriving business with a dedicated team, thousands of five-star reviews, and a loyal community that continues to support its mission. Katie opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship and motherhood, including the pressure of having no paid maternity leave and returning to work just two weeks after the birth of her son, fearing the business wouldn't survive without her. Instead, the community she had built rallied around her, helping fuel some of the company's biggest growth to date. She also shares the lessons learned between the births of her two children, how she built systems that allowed the business to operate independently, and the unexpected challenges that came when she felt disconnected from a company that no longer relied on her every day. At four months postpartum with her daughter, Katie found herself struggling with loneliness and a loss of purpose before rediscovering her spark through part-time work, strong co-parenting with Dave, and the support of a nanny. We also dive into the fascinating science behind clean skincare, common causes of problem skin, and Katie's practical advice for anyone looking to improve their skin health. This conversation is an honest and refreshing look at ambition, motherhood, identity, business growth, and what it really means to build a life and career on your own terms.

    63|Sam- Fertility rollercoaster IVF Identical twins, IUI, Ectopic, missed miscarriage and welcoming baby number 3.

    In this episode, Sam opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of her journey to motherhood, from heartbreak and loss to the chaos and beauty of raising three little ones. She shares her experience with infertility, a missed miscarriage, failed IUI cycles, and the decision to move forward with IVF, which led to the birth of her identical twin boys. Sam also speaks honestly about her C-section birth and recovery, the realities of postpartum life, and how essential having her mum as her village and support system truly is. We also dive into the devastating experience of an ectopic pregnancy and salpingectomy, before Sam’s journey led her back to IVF once again to welcome her baby girl. From surviving the 4-month sleep regression to co-sleeping, musical beds, and navigating life with babies who don’t sleep, this conversation is a raw and relatable look at modern motherhood. Sam also shares the emotional process of deciding their family was complete, from her partner getting a vasectomy to making the incredibly difficult decision of when they will take their remaining embryos off snow sleep. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and filled with the kind of conversations so many parents quietly carry behind closed doors. We love sharing these stories, please spread love and send to a friend. Love Patty xoxo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LovePattyPodcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/lovepattypodcast/

    62|Dr Tina Fleming, Endometriosis, Pelvic Pain , ovulation pain, diagnosis and treatments, fertility, women being heard, women’s health, future treatments

    In this empowering episode, we sit down with the incredible Dr Tina Fleming, OBGYN based on the Gold Coast specialising in pelvic pain, endometriosis, fertility care, and fertility treatments. This conversation is deeply personal for Chloe, as Dr Tina performed one of her miscarriage surgeries and later supported her through and performed  her successful IVF transfer with baby Jack. Chloe shares how Dr Tina and the entire team at Grace Private became a compassionate and supportive presence throughout her infertility journey. Together, we dive into many important and often misunderstood topics surrounding women’s health, including pelvic pain, endometriosis and adenomyosis, medical gaslighting, ovulation pain, perimenopause, hysterectomies, fertility knowledge and treatment options, IVF journeys, as well as diagnosis pathways and future treatment possibilities. Dr Tina is also a strong advocate for women’s symptoms and medical history being taken seriously when assessing suspected endometriosis, without women needing an ultrasound or laparoscopy to feel believed or validated by their healthcare practitioner. Most importantly, we discuss the importance of women being heard, validated, and genuinely supported by their healthcare providers. This episode is packed with knowledge and reassurance for any woman experiencing pelvic pain or fertility struggles, and we learnt so much from this incredible conversation with Dr Tina. Listen now for an open and informative discussion on women’s health, pain management, fertility, and advocacy.  Love,Chloe & Clare xx

Whether you’re planning your next weekend adventure, searching for a kid-friendly café, or just need inspiration to get out of the house, this episode is packed with ideas and reassurance that you’re not doing this motherhood thing alone. We chat solo parenting, fussy eating and scare Chloe about the chaos of venturing out whilst toilet training... Lara's instagram @mrslardeedah is a must follow for all SEQ families.

    Episode 60 kicks off Season 7 with just us — Clare and Chloe — sitting down for a long overdue life catch-up. We’re sharing the raw, beautiful chaos of this season of life — from life with baby Jack (nearly 8 months and the sweetest, smiley age) to navigating toddler mess (hello tin on milo poured into the new carpet), the whirlwind of moving house. We open up Clare's disappointing experience with trying the OCP for ovulation pain, discuss childcare options, and what returning to work really feels like when your heart is split in two places. There’s also a deeply honest chat about second baby fertility. This episode also marks a milestone: Chloe’s first birthday as a mum — a moment to reflect on how much life, identity, and love can change in a single year. We also share the joy of hosting our very first Love Patty event (still pinching ourselves!) and dive into a fun, real conversation about the hilarious “yin and yang” dynamics with our husbands (some great giglges here) — plus… should we finally get them on the podcast? And of course, we’re giving you a little sneak peek into what’s coming in Season 7 — some exciting chats ahead! Love Patty xx

    59| Tara CMV pregnancy, From Survival to Soul Rising: Tara's Story of Motherhood, Healing and Purpose.

    Welcome back to Love Patty This week we’re joined by the incredible Tara; mum of three, co-founder of Soul Rising Collective women’s retreats, and the woman behind the Gold Coast’s only clothes library. Tara bravely shares the story of her first pregnancy, where she was diagnosed with CMV and faced the unimaginable — being advised to terminate. She takes us through the emotional rollercoaster of seeking a second opinion, finding hope with a compassionate MFM specialist, and enduring weekly testing, MRIs, and blood work. From being told she wouldn’t be able to breastfeed to planning a C-section, Tara opens up about the fear, uncertainty, and strength it took to keep going. She also shares how she turned to vlogging as a form of therapy, creating her YouTube channel “CMV Stops With Me,” and the moment everything shifted, when her daughter Frankie was born healthy, with no signs of complications. Beyond her birth story, Tara speaks candidly about losing herself in motherhood with three little ones close in age, and how slowly reconnecting with joy and fun for herself sparked something bigger. That spark became Soul Rising Collective women's retreats designed for mums to simply arrive, be held, and reconnect with themselves. With Tara’s background in breath work and women’s circles, these retreats are all about rediscovering you. Clare first met Tara through her clothes library, a beautiful, practical solution to the fast fashion cycle so many of us are stuck in. What started as a simple idea while working in a pool shop has grown into a powerful community resource, helping women borrow outfits, save money, and reduce waste. There’s even a toy library, so your little ones can enjoy something new without the cost or environmental impact. This is a heartfelt and hope-filled conversation, for anyone navigating a CMV diagnosis, considering VBAC, or simply needing a reminder that you’re allowed to find yourself again in motherhood. Trigger warning: pregnancy loss and stillbirth are discussed in this episode. Thank you for being here and for your ongoing support.

    58 | Elizabeth rodeo videographer, working single mum, finding yourself after divorce, following your intuition, creativity, filling your cup, western world, online community, supporting women, cowboy thirst traps

    In this episode we chat with Elizabeth — a rodeo videographer, full-time manager, single mum of two, and the creative force behind three thriving Instagram accounts with nearly 90K followers on her rodeo contest page. Just a few years ago, none of this existed. After navigating the heartbreak of divorce, Elizabeth felt a quiet but persistent intuitive pull to try something completely new. With zero experience in photography and no connections to the rodeo or western world, she bought a camera, booked a flight to a rodeo, and started filming — despite many people close to her advising against it. What began as a leap of faith quickly turned into a creative passion and an entirely new chapter. Through capturing the raw, gritty world of bull riding and rodeo culture, Elizabeth found not only her artistic voice but also a supportive community and a growing online audience captivated by her authentic storytelling — and yes, occasionally her viral “thirst trap” videos featuring some very photogenic bull riders (hello that heated rivalry soundtrack reel!). In this honest, funny and deeply inspiring conversation, we talk about rebuilding your identity after divorce, the realities of solo parenting, following intuitive nudges even when they don’t make sense, and how she entered the western and rodeo world with no prior connections. Elizabeth shares what it’s really like filming bull riders behind the scenes, the moments that unexpectedly went viral online, navigating anxiety and mum guilt, and the double standards working mums often face. We also chat about financial independence, single life and dating advice for the ladies, western fashion and etiquette, and the exciting plans she has in the works for a huge new project aligned with her Single Cowboy brand. We recorded this conversation over Zoom before 7am Australian time (because mums), while Elizabeth joined us from Virginia. Naturally, our kids chose that night to not sleep — so this episode was powered by coffee, concealer, and plenty of laughs. The conversation felt less like an interview and more like three friends catching up over coffee… or maybe a cocktail. Elizabeth’s story is proof that rejection really can be redirection, and that it’s never too late to start again, follow your creativity, and build something meaningful — especially when you’re doing it to show your children what resilience looks like.We absolutely loved this chat and know you will too. Love,Patty xx

    57| Solo Clare & Chloe. Feeding Battles, mum guilt & saying goodbye to Digger Pa.

    Patty's this one is a big one. We start with baby Jack, who is now six months old, and the feeding challenges that have completely rocked the boat. From CMPI allergy and bottle aversion to navigating a full multidisciplinary team, we talk about what it’s really like when feeding isn’t “just feeding.” The appointments, the conflicting advice, the mental load… and the mum guilt that creeps in anyway. Chloe shares about advocating for herself after experiencing her first panic attack in seven years. What followed was pathology, answers, and a diagnosis of postpartum thyroiditis. A reminder that sometimes anxiety isn’t “just in your head,” and that mums deserve thorough care too. Clare opens up about seeing the incredible Tina, our trusted gynaecologist, and starting the OCP in hopes of finally getting relief from debilitating ovulation pain. Clare also unpack the chaos of moving house with toddlers, the stress that simmers underneath it all, and her controversial thought… bringing TV back for the kids!? And then, in the final 30 minutes, everything shifts. Clare and Chloe open up about the sudden passing of Clare’s beautiful Dad, Tony. It’s unfiltered. It’s raw. There is ugly crying. There are lifelong memories that will make you laugh through tears. We talk about what it means to navigate grief while still having to show up every single day as a mother. If you are holding loss in one hand and motherhood in the other, we see you. We hold space for you. This episode is dedicated to our beloved “Digger Pa.” We love you. We miss you. Always. Love, George & Emma 🤍
