  1. Toddler Mayhem, Close Calls & Holy Sh*t!

    2d ago

    Toddler Mayhem, Close Calls & Holy Sh*t!

    This week on The Mother Daze, we’re chatting all things toddler WILDNESS! Running away for solo adventures in the wilderness, diving off patios, chucking rocks in mouths, falling, tripping, slipping, sliding, donking and generally causing absolute MAYHEM! Just the basic insanity of having a one-year-old in an already chaotic household full of kids. Funnnn guys funnnn, insanely cute but send help!  Things take a rather serious left turn as one of the girls shares a recent, terrifying brush with death. A confronting experience that brought with it a massive shake up and a powerful reminder of just how fragile and precious life really is. How one split second distraction in this case actually saved her. Tez fills us in on the new dreamy home, the excitement, the overwhelm and the seemingly IMPOSSIBLE task of moving house while juggling five kids, work and the million other things that keep life spinning! Meanwhile, Sarah shares the absolute madness that unfolded when the boys were out of town recently and it’s was just her, their nanny Sonya and the three little girls. Let’s just say the shit REALLY hits the fan (or the face, in Sarah’s case!). From near-death experiences to poo-covered disasters, we’re giggling our way through the glorious mess of motherhood. Because sometimes, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry!

    Oct 15

    New Roots, Movie Sets and Cosmic Shifts!

    This week on The Mother Daze, Tez talks shooting a movie alongside her boys! Whaaa?! The girls chat the magic of sharing the set together, watching our kids follow their passions and the incredible joy of seeing them step into who they’re becoming. Plus, the girls get into some WILD stage parent stories, competitive Pokémon folks, sideline sporting fanatics and the hilarious (and sometimes downright bonkers!) lengths some people go to in perhaps trying to live out their own dreams through their kids! Weeee And in some very exciting news, Tez and her family have landed their dream Byron pad, complete with a wraparound porch, cows and climbing ivy! She chats about the dreaminess of finding a home in a place they love so much, the magic of planting roots and creating a space for their fam to thrive.  The girls also reflect on the collective upheaval of 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse. From the shit hitting the fan and friendship turmoil to unexpected life shake-ups and everything in between, it seems like the collective has been put through the wringer this year! And ya know what? Horses represent strength, resilience and courage and after all the twists and turns of this year, we’re FINALLY feeling the energy shift! Yahooo.

  3. Bare Faces, Beauty Finds & Big Shifts!

    Oct 8

    Bare Faces, Beauty Finds & Big Shifts!

    This week on The Mother Daze, Teresa is getting ready to return to God of War with a freshly dyed head of hair and a heaping dose of self-care! The girls chat new beauty finds, Teresa’s new at-home facial friend from Shark Beauty, and Sarah shares some of the trusty everyday serums she keeps coming back to. We chat about how too much makeup can make us feel less like ourselves, and those glossy, retouched magazine shoots that look beautiful… but also have us wondering, “Wait, is that actually me?” It’s also Sarah’s birthday!! 43 woop woop! She’s another year older and feeling pretty content with exactly where she is, craving more simple days with the people she loves. Her book tour is also wrapping up, which gets us talking about how weirdly uncomfortable it can feel to actually be proud of ourselves and give ourselves a little pat on the back. We’ve also got some long-overdue Dazey member shout-outs (WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!), plus we unpack some of the shifts we’ve both been feeling lately. Is there something in the air?! Because it certainly feels like the universe is moving things around.

  4. Mom Fog, Mum Guilt & the Overload Season

    Oct 1

    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.

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

    Sep 24

    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.

  6. 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!

  7. 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!!

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

    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.

    Birthing Lotus Bloom: Teresa’s 5th birth story

    Lotus Bloom’s Birth Story In this very special episode, Teresa recounts the homebirth of her 5th baby, Lotus Bloom. From the wild chaos in the days leading up to labour to a last-minute pivot (and then a re-pivot!) in her birth plans and then getting sick right before the big day (it was a faaar from smooth lead up!) She also recounts the long stretches of prodromal labour, the rituals and tools that carried her through contractions and the funny and unexpected moments along the way.  Tez also talks about getting into a super psychedelic state she as labour deepened, the profound joy of having all of her children present to witness their sister’s arrival and the magical moment she discovered her baby was a she!! This is Teresa’s full, minute-by-minute retelling of Lotus’s birth, truly the birth of her dreams. This episode is proudly sponsored by Hungryroot, Osea, Acorns Early and Boll & Branch!

  10. 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!

    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!

  13. 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.

    This week we are interviewing the divine Carson Meyer, who has been making waves in the birthing and child development world. She has just launched her book baby “Growing Together,” which is a holistic guide to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum (OUT NOW!!) Carson, a doula, mother, and advocate for mindful parenting, brings a wealth of knowledge on how to nurture both baby and mother through this transformative journey. In our conversation, we chat about everything from changing nipples and deflated boobs to unexpected births. We also tackle hotly debated subjects such as circumcision, co-sleeping, and the detrimental effect of hardcore cry-it-out methods. We also dive into topics like intuitive birth choices, the importance of bonding, establishing breastfeeding (and getting through that initial pinch!), and how to cultivate a nourishing postpartum experience. Get ready for a beautiful and enlightening chat with one of our favorite women!! This episode is proudly sponsored by Rula and Fast Growing Trees!

    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.

  18. Healthy with a Side of Happy! With Sabrina Rudin

    Healthy with a Side of Happy! With Sabrina Rudin

    This week on The Mother Daze, we have a brilliant guest: Sabrina Rudin. Mama, restaurateur, cookbook author and multi-hyphenate do-er of very cool things. She’s chatting with us about the winding road that led her to a healthier, happier relationship with food, and the path she’s taken to share her recipes with the world through her book, “Healthy with a Side of Happy: 100 Plant Based Recipes To Feed Your Family”  Sabrina shares how learning to listen to her body transformed the way she eats, cooks and lives. We chat about questioning the messages we’ve absorbed from the meat and dairy industries, dive into Eat Right for Your Blood Type, and explore why one size definitely doesn’t fit all when it comes to wellness. Tez, our A+ blood-type girly and our “natural-born vegetarian”, shares the highs, lows and mercury poisoning of her “Seagan” chapter. And we, as per the uje, take a sharp left turn down Shit Alley. Luckily for Sabrina, we don’t spend too long down the toilet-talk rabbit hole before getting right back to the important chat: her brilliant book and the life-uplevelling food philosophies she shares, like Making Every Snack a Meal. Think simple, nourishing light bites that take the overwhelm out of healthy eating and bring a little creativity and joy back into the kitchen. Intuition, wellness, motherhood, food freedom and poo stories! All the things we like around here.

    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. Finally, Teresa shares all the spooky details about her brand new true crime and mystery podcast, They Run The Night. Resource Links: They Run The Night Podcast The Village By F.J.
