  1. Mom Fog, Mum Guilt & the Overload Season

    2d ago

    Mom Fog, Mum Guilt & the Overload Season

    This week, Sarah’s book is officially OUT and she’s hitting the press tour!  Weeeee! Tez talks licking back up on God of War and the separation anxiety that comes with the idea of saying goodbye to her older kids even just for a week. Sarah shares a scary mom-fog moment that sent her into a shame spiral, and Tez shares her own similar story. We unpack the Motherload, how a simple break in routine can trip up an overloaded brain, and importantly, the preventative methods and systems we can all put in place to help keep our kids safe in cars, especially on hot days. Plus, moving house, shooting movies, the craziness of this mothering season, travelling, book-launch madness and giving our friendships a whole lot of grace when life gets wildly busy. Because the best friendships are often the ones where nobody keeps score and everyone just gets it when we are in the trenches.

  2. Raising Teens!! Connection over Correction with Daniel Ahearn

    Raising Teens!! Connection over Correction with Daniel Ahearn

    This week on The Mother Daze, we’re joined by a repeat guest, our friend, Daniel Ahearn! Dan is the author of The Way Back Home, a father of two and an attachment-focused family therapist. Daniel’s work is all about helping parents and teens stay connected through the beautiful, messy and sometimes completely bewildering years of adolescence. And you better believe we came armed with ALL our burning questions about raising teenagers!!!  At the heart of Daniel’s book is an attachment-based approach to parenting and one beautifully simple idea we LOVE: connection over correction. Sounds dreamy yasss… but HOW do we actually do that in the thick of teen life?! We talk repairing after conflict, holding boundaries without blowing up the connection, natural consequences, and why sometimes we need to stop correcting for a hot sec and connect with what’s actually underneath the behaviour. Then we get into alllll the things. How much is too much to share about our own (sometimes rather colourful ) pasts? How do we talk about drugs and alcohol without making it weird or terrifying? Mental health days, losing them to their peer group, loosening the reins (gulp!) and building the kind of relationship where, when the messy stuff happens, they actually WANT to come to us.  Resource Links: The Way Back Home Daniel J.

  3. Parallel Lives, Unhinged Algorithms & Christian Bale

    Sep 17

    Parallel Lives, Unhinged Algorithms & Christian Bale

    This week it’s just the gals and we’re realizing that despite living on opposite sides of the world, we are somehow living PARALLEL LIVES. Oldest kids starting high school? Check. Dreaming up new homes? Check. Small beach-town days where you can’t leave the house without bumping into someone you know? Check. Youngest babies taking their first steps at exactly the same time? CHECK. Both families are deep in one of those wildly busy seasons where everything seems to be happening at once, so we’re celebrating the little wins too, including WYATT MAKING THE SURF TEAM!!  Then we compare algorithms, which turns out to be a fairly confronting window into who the internet thinks we are. Teresa’s is an unhinged cocktail of true crime, dream houses, babies in utero, Cruel Intentions nostalgia and gloriously expressive un-Botoxed women on screen, while Sarah’s is relentlessly serving her outdoor wear and diastasis recti tips. Which naturally leads us to AI and the fact that we are apparently the EXACT demographic these fake videos were made for. Did we believe the sloth in the floodwaters holding a kitten? Absolutely. But now we’re so suspicious we’re questioning the REAL stuff too. Do we need a “100% HUMAN” certification for content the way we have “organic” for food?! PLUS, Teresa discovers you can apparently tell Chatty G to stop blowing smoke up your ass and give it to you straight weeeeee!  Follo​w Sarah Wright Olsen: IG: @swrightolsen Follow Teresa Palmer: IG: @teresapalmer  FB: https://www.facebook.com/teresamarypalmer/ DISCOUNT CODES: • Go to www.baeo.com and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20 • Go to www.lovewell.earth and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20 More about the show! • Watch this episode on YouTube here • Co-founders of @yourzenmama yourzenmama.com • Read and buy our book!

  4. Dropping balls, brain farts & are these our last babies!?

    Sep 3

    Dropping balls, brain farts & are these our last babies!?

    Are these babies our last?! This week we’re sitting in that very weird space between babies growing up and big kids flying the nest, with Isaac heading off to college, Wyatt officially becoming a teenager and Esme hitting double digits. Meanwhile, the toddlers are TODDLERING, and somehow no matter how many children you’ve had, a full-blown tantrum can still make you feel like a first-time parent. We chat about communicating with little ones before they have the words for their giant feelings, some of our tried-and-true resources like RIE parenting and Dr. Siggie, and the impossible juggle of emotionally regulating one child while four others need you RIGHT NOW. Then there’s the mother load. Too many tabs open, unanswered emails, dropped balls, four different schools for Teresa, two for Sarah, attempting to delegate while also feeling like you’re letting everyone down, and discovering that your only available “work hours” are 9–11pm… when you can barely keep your eyes open. Plus, meet the newest member of the Palmer family: Velvet the miniature horse, Prairie’s very magical and surprising last minute 5th birthday present. And somehow we end up maybe with the greatest podcast moment of all time when Sarah has an absolutely spectacular Sigourney Weaver/Carrie Fisher brain fart that sends us down a wildly inaccurate pop-culture rabbit hole and has us crying laughing.

  5. Losing Our Marbles, The Mother Load & Meltdowns!

    Aug 13

    Losing Our Marbles, The Mother Load & Meltdowns!

    This week on The Mother Daze we’re solo-ing it and Tez is too… solo parenting coming up on WEEK FIVE! Wahooooo!  The Palmer kids are back in school, there’s explosive baby diarrhea, sore booties, diaper-free disasters and multiple kid meltdowns happening AT THE SAME TIME. Just another relaxing week in motherhood! We chat the absolute beast that is the mental load, the 900 tabs permanently open in a mother’s brain, and how sometimes even delegating feels like another bloody thing to do. Tez shares her pal’s brilliant marble jar analogy: every snack, lift, lost shoe, school form, sibling squabble and “Muuuuum!” costs us a marble, while those little moments of being seen, thanked, appreciated or helped can put a marble back in the jar. Which begs the question… how do we make sure we actually have enough marbles to give away?! Sarah shares why multitasking has never been her superpower, and we chat about the value of focusing on one thing at a time instead of trying to juggle ALL THE THINGS, ALL THE TIME. We’re losing our marbles, finding a few again and attempting to keep the 900 tabs open without completely crashing the system!!

  6. Own or Be Owned: Motherhood, Money & Making Yourself Less Needed with Codie Sanchez

    Aug 20

    Own or Be Owned: Motherhood, Money & Making Yourself Less Needed with Codie Sanchez

    This week on The Mother Daze, we’re joined by powerhouse entrepreneur, contrarian thinker and author Codie Sanchez for a conversation about ambition, motherhood, money and the sneaky ways we can become the biggest obstacle to our own freedom. Ahead of the release of her new book, Own or Be Owned, Codie shares what it really means to build a business so good it doesn’t need you. We also talk Codie’s incredibly exciting news, she’s pregnant with her first child! She opens up about sharing her five-year journey to conceive publicly, what it means to be honest about something so deeply personal as a public figure, and why she wanted other women walking that road to know they’re not alone. We talk about taking fertility for granted and what it looks like to integrate building a family with building a business, chasing a dream and still having a life. We dive into Codie’s world of contrarian thinking, boring businesses and ownership, why women so often downplay what they’re building as a “side hustle” or “little project,” and what it takes to build something that actually gives you more freedom. Plus, the Hero Complex, martyrdom, delegating, getting unstuck when your ideas feel stagnant, and two-way-door decisions. It’s a big juicy one about owning your ambition, your choices, your time and the life you actually want to build.

  7. Toddlers, Teens and a Damn Stingray!!!

    Aug 27

    Toddlers, Teens and a Damn Stingray!!!

    This week on The Mother Daze, the fires in Canada bring up some big feelings for Sarah’s kids, stirring memories of losing their home, smoke-filled skies, masks and even Covid. Then it’s straight into the chaos: Esme gets stung by a stingray, Sarah mistakes Eric’s sunscreen-covered face for a jellyfish attack, Esme turns 10 and Sarah is about to be mothering a teen… watch this space!! Meanwhile, Lotus and Ocean have suddenly turned into toddlers, eating sand, shoving everything into their mouths, unleashing pterodactyl screams and developing some VERY strong opinions about food. Plus, we talk about the not-so-fun art of actually following through on boundaries, embracing our changing faces, hereditary dark circles and why seeing real women age in a sea of smoothed, tweaked and perfected faces matters more than ever.

  8. Un-Botoxed, TikTok & Screen Time!

    Jul 30

    Un-Botoxed, TikTok & Screen Time!

    This week on The Mother Daze, it’s smart phone fears, dumb phone cheers… ? but when do we finally bite the bullet? We dive into screen time, devices, kids growing older, the fear surrounding social media, and raising tweens in an increasingly online world. Is an Apple Watch the perfect first step? Or do you hold off altogether? We pick each other’s brains on our plans, fears, all the research we’ve done, and where we’ve landed so far. We also get into fits of giggles over inappropriate humour (Summer Heights High… IYKYK), frolic through Little House on the Prairie, and chat about Kate Box’s brilliantly funny Aussie comedy, Deadloch. Sarah’s TikTok emergence also brings out that one A-HOLIO who reckons she should “Botox up.” Well, looky here, you sad anti-ager… these mamas to NINE have earned every one of these laugh lines, crow’s feet, forehead creases, smile wrinkles, and motherhood badges of honour. They’re proof of a life well lived, deeply loved, and very well laughed AND we won’t be injecting them away.  So, as Mr G would say… “SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS, MARGARET.” (For the purposes of this episode, “Margaret” is our affectionate name for anyone policing women’s faces. ) Resource Links: Deadloch (2023) Summer Heights High (2007) Little House On The Prairie (2026) Follow Sarah on TikTok: @swrightolsen   Follo​w Sarah Wright Olsen: IG: @swrightolsen Follow Teresa Palmer: IG: @teresapalmer  FB: https://www.facebook.com/teresamarypalmer/ DISCOUNT CODES: • Go to www.baeo.com and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20 • Go to www.lovewell.earth and get 20% when using the code MOTHERDAZE20 More about the show! • Watch this episode on YouTube here • Co-founders of @yourzenmama yourzenmama.com • Read and buy our book!

    Aug 6

    Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Us This?! Perimenopause with Dr. Sarah Oreck

    This week we’re joined by Dr. Sarah Oreck, a Columbia University-trained reproductive psychiatrist and co-founder of Mavida Health, to unpack one of the most misunderstood stages of a woman’s life: perimenopause When does it actually start? Can you be postpartum and in perimenopause at the same time? (Yep.) Why does it feel like nobody prepared us for this?! We’re talking brain fog, anxiety, rage, sleep, heart palpitations, yes… even itchy ears, why estrogen impacts almost every system in the body, and how perimenopause can last 7 to 10 years. Dr. Oreck also walks us through the full spectrum of treatment options, from lifestyle changes and therapy to hormone treatment, busts a few myths, and answers the questions so many women are too afraid, too busy, or too confused to ask. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “What on earth is happening to me?” this episode is for you… and every woman you know.

  11. Spiritual Hygiene, Spell Work & Soul Magic! With Devyn Goss

    Spiritual Hygiene, Spell Work & Soul Magic! With Devyn Goss

    This week we’re joined by our resident witch and long-time Dazey, Devyn Goss, for a conversation that wanders through magic, motherhood and everything in between. We chat about her journey into pagan witchcraft, practicing in a coven, studying under baby medium Emily, and why she believes we’re all spiritual beings having a very human experience. As a special education teacher and mama who had her first (of six!) babies at just 20, Devyn shares how raising her autistic children transformed the way she sees intuition, connection and communication. We explore her belief that many neurodivergent children are deeply intuitive, what she calls “Prism Parenting”, and how staying open to our children’s unique ways of communicating can completely shift the way we parent. From tarot, astrology, deities and moon cycles to womb work, spiritual hygiene, manifestation scripting, energetic protection and even the surprisingly magical art of selling a house, no crystal is left unturned!! Whether you’re witch-curious, craving a Diana Bishop-style coven, or just here for a little peek behind the veil, this deep dive is for you.

    Book Tours, Baby Steps & Big Kids

    Sarah has a BOOK coming out!!! We’re officially two weeks out from the release of When I’m Not With You, and Sarah has been BUSY. Between the promotional tour, book signings and launching a book while also, you know… mothering, we’re catching up on all things BOOK BABY. Speaking of babies… BOTH of ours started walking in the exact same week. Just a couple of babies coordinating milestones from opposite sides of the world. Meanwhile, Wyatt has started HIGH SCHOOL (!!), sending us down a rabbit hole about big kids, independence and the slightly rude realization that they do, in fact, keep growing up. We also get into the wild world of Down Under school fundraisers and our latest obsession: what kind of childhood do we actually want to create for our kids? More space to run wild… or living in town where they can jump on their bikes and have friends, the beach, the skate park and a little community at their fingertips? PLUS, we’re chatting about what’s next for The Mother Daze, memberships, more solo eps and how much we LOVE bumping into Dazeys in the wild. Books are being birthed, babies are walking, teenagers are teenager-ing and apparently nobody got the memo to slowwww down!

    Pivots, Perimenopause & Plot Twists!

    This week on The Mother Daze, Sarah and Teresa are talking all about change… because wow, life has been LIFE-ing lately. The Palmer household has had a few unexpected plot twists, and Teresa shares the silver linings that have come with them. She celebrates the beautiful togetherness Vancouver brought their family, chats about their time there wrapping up sooner than expected, and all the excitement of their giddy return to Byron for the time being. They also chat solo parenting, finding the world’s greatest au pair (seriously… where has she been all their lives?!) and all the little moments that made this chapter so memorable. Then we unpack the wild world of perimenopause. Is it postpartum? Is it perimenopause? Is it both?! We chat symptoms, hormones, brain fog, mood swings, and why this season of life can feel like one giant guessing game. It’s time we started talking about it more.

    Human Design for Relationships, Parenting & Self-Discovery with Erin Claire Jones

    Sarah and Tez are joined this week by Erin Claire Jones, one of the world’s leading experts on Human Design, and wow… this conversation gave us plenty of “that explains so much” moments.

    It’s another solo episode where we discover new wrinkles, gag over strange illusionists performing questionable tricks, accidentally flip a nip, get our sexy time on, talk about spinning babies and labor creeping closer, throw in some fresh celebrity rooting dreams and wrap it all up with the usual chaos… because it’s us!

  17. The Four Clairs: Which one are you? With Christina Prokos

    The Four Clairs: Which one are you? With Christina Prokos

    Christina Prokos is back on the podcast! Our go-to intuitive, spiritual teacher and medium returns for one of our favourite kinds of conversations. This week we’re diving headfirst into all the woo woo, wow wow, universe-y, matrix-y, magic-weeeee shiz that we can’t get enough of here at The Mother Daze. This episode is all about the four Clairs. If you’ve ever wondered why some people just know things, others feel them deeply, see vivid images or receive messages through sounds, this one’s for you. We unpack the different intuitive gifts: Clairaudience; hearing guidance, words or audio signs. Clairsentience; feeling or sensing energy. Clairvoyance; seeing images, symbols or visions. Claircognizance; simply knowing, without knowing how you know. We talk about tuning back into our intuition, our inner guidance system and the Source energy that’s constantly communicating with us through signs, synchronicities and nudges. Christina shares why she believes the first language we ever learn is energy, and that intuition isn’t something we have to earn or develop from scratch. It’s already programmed within us. The magic is simply remembering how to tune back into it and discovering which Clair is your strongest, most natural way of receiving guidance.

    Magic Manifesting Moments, SIGNS from the other side & helping kids through anxiety

    This is the kind of episode that gives us tingles.. we talk about the great expanse of the universe and all the many otherworldly things that just can’t be explained away by a textbook. From connections to the other side, to some (wild!!) manifesting successes, to helping lift the mental load for our kids and how being open & embodying a positive outlook in ourselves filters down to our children; setting them up to have the belief that their dreams, no matter how big, are achievable.  We get a little esoteric, a little woo woo and truly, madly, deeply inspired!

  20. The No-Botox Beauty Uplevel, Sleep Scores & Armpits Folds

    The No-Botox Beauty Uplevel, Sleep Scores & Armpits Folds

    This week on The Mother Daze we’re deep in the beautiful chaos of motherhood, with scooting babies keeping us on high alert and baby proofing becoming a full-time job. We chat the simple joys of a Costco run, what our sleep scores and aura rings are really telling us, and Sarah’s surprisingly impressive sleep score despite a baby on the boob all night. We get into the magic of those truly special teachers who shape our kids in ways we’ll never forget, a little St Patty’s Day energy, and the ever-evolving realities of our bodies… including those unexpected little “baby vagina” fat folds casually setting up camp under our armpits. Teresa’s kids have started a band (yes, fo realz because why not add more to the plate?!), we talk Lotus’ first foods, tooth fairy logistics, and navigating the Santa chat with our curious pre-teens. Tez shares her current skincare ritual that’s genuinely making her feel ten years younger. After considering a late night sprint to get a face full of Boey, she discovered the natural alternative she’s now shouting from the rooftops….face taping!!! #frowniesforever It’s motherhood, magic, shifting identities and small everyday wins, all wrapped into one very Mother Daze episode.
