  1. Rethinking Risk, Informed Choice & Continuity of Care with Dr Melanie Jackson

    1D AGO

    Rethinking Risk, Informed Choice & Continuity of Care with Dr Melanie Jackson

    In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Melanie Jackson, PhD researcher and host of The Great Birth Rebellion, to explore evidence-based maternity care and how birth systems can better support women and babies across all birth settings. We discuss the medicalisation of birth, how fear and risk are often overstated in modern maternity care, and the need to shift social messaging that frames birth as inherently risky and dangerous. Mel explains why continuity of care is so important for positive birth outcomes, whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth centre birth, home birth, vaginal birth, or caesarean birth. The conversation also explores the importance of acknowledging and working through fears around pregnancy and birth, rather than suppressing them. Mel shares three practical questions to ask when an intervention is suggested during pregnancy or labour: Is it medically necessary? Is it standard policy or usual practice? Or is it the doctor’s personal preference? A grounded, inclusive conversation about informed consent, maternal choice, and maternity care that prioritises the birthing mother and baby (duh!!)  An essential listen for women thinking about having a baby, currently pregnant, or preparing for birth- in other words…share this with your preggy and preggy-to-be friends Dazeys!!

    JAN 22

    Manifesting, Mindset Shifts & One-on-One Kid Time

    In this solo episode, we get into the manifesting practices we actually use, what’s brewing with our next women’s circle, and why one-on-one time with kids in big families really hits different. We talk about the mindset reset that comes with realising we’re living inside the dreams we once cooked up as kids, share a few stories from on-set visits with Sarah, and take a very necessary detour into Pokémon. We also tell the story of Lotus and Ocean meeting for the first time (aka Lotion), or if you’re as woo as us, the girls reuniting earth side.

    The Birth of Babies, Businesses & The Byron Bay Bubble with Jes Saddington of Dazed but Amazed

    This week we sit down with Jes Saddington! Mama of two, Byron Bay local, and founder of cult-favourite linen label Dazed but Amazed. One of Tez’s Byron homies and a BFF for life, Jes and Tez dive into the community they’ve built in the Bay; sun-soaked surf and skate evenings, never-ending sleepovers, and Prairie’s very serious crush on Jes’s husband (aka “my marriage”). We talk business evolution too, including the new directions Dazed is exploring, like introducing a cotton blend alongside the iconic tonal linen sets the brand is known for. Jes opens up about off-grid jungle-esque living, raising two nature-loving boys, and why she takes intentional hibernation breaks from work to recalibrate her life and creativity. Plus, Jes shares candidly about her postpartum recovery trauma, undergoing two reconstructive surgeries and the long healing road that followed.

    IVF, Surrogacy and the Journey to Motherhood at 47

    On this week’s episode, we’re joined by mama and singer Julie Mintz, whose path to her daughter Ophelia is nothing short of extraordinary. Decade-old frozen eggs, shocking lab errors, surrogacy setbacks, countless retrievals, and the discovery that she and her husband were both genetic carriers for the same disease. Then came HOPE in the form of one healthy embryo. One tiny maybe. At 47, she welcomed her baby Ophelia and turned her own miracle into a mission, offering financial support to help other families grow. It’s a story that is at times harrowing and frustrating, and one that captures the real-world courage behind so many fertility journeys.

    This week on The Mother Daze, we dive headfirst into the wild (and occasionally sticky) world of keeping a household semi-functional, with boobies out, chores flying, and dogs eating things they definitely shouldn’t. From getting kids to clean up without it turning into a hostage situation to our genius 30-minute chore rule that actually works, we’re unpacking what it takes to raise capable, grounded kids and still keep your sanity. We chat birth order and personalities (why your firstborn is a mini-CEO while your youngest is living their best feral life), plus how to build a functional rhythm between family members so the whole house runs more on teamwork and less on tears!!

    Today’s episode is a total pinch-me moment as we sit down with our OG Dazey and ultimate Mother Daze superfan, the incredible Emmy-nominated Riley Keough! It’s a full-circle love fest as we gush over Riley’s phenomenal career and dive into shiz like the A-holes who hate kids on planes, Meisner-fueled Mad Max madness, character acting, singing and swinging at Chanel, and the raw duality of birth and death. Riley opens up about the isolation of grief and how co-authoring From Here to the Great Unknown with her mom, Lisa Marie Presley, became a deeply cathartic journey after her passing. We also fangirl over Riley’s brilliant balancing act as a mom, producer, and globally celebrated actor—covering everything from Zola to Sarah’s fav- Daisy Jones & the Six. Plus, Tez and Riley take a hilarious stroll down Mad Max audition memory lane! This episode is proudly sponsored by Hungryroot and Boll & Branch!

Laura shares how she worked with the universe to call in the divine timing of her daughter’s conception, what her first pregnancy was like, and the wild ride that was her maiden birth.

We dive into the few day marathon, the mystical moments, the messy bits, and the transformation that unfolds when a woman meets her edge.

    Magic, Tarot & WTF moments with Polly Staniford

    This week on The Mother Daze we sit down with our friend Polly Staniford, a powerhouse Aussie film and TV producer who also happens to be an intuitive healer, tarot reader, psychic, reiki practitioner and mama of two. Tez and Polly have worked together plenty of times but only recently discovered their shared love of all things woo woo, whimsical and witchy. Polly chats about how she’s brought her magical side forward while still running her producing career, why more people are tuning into their intuition, and how storytelling through film connects with storytelling through the cards. She even does a live tarot reading for us that delivered some huge “OMG did that seriously just happen?!” moments. From new beginnings and rewriting old narratives to big expansion energy, this episode is a full-on portal of magic.

    Pandemonium, Playlists & Postpartum

    It’s a Tez & Sarah solo this week! We’re diving into the beautiful chaos of right now: what’s on our birth playlists, the kiddo schedules that make our heads spin, and the pandemonium in the Palmer house while Mark’s away. We chat about Ocean’s tongue tie, how parenting a newborn feels now vs. when we were first-time mamas (we do things very differently!!), nursing “schedules,” dreamy but hazy postpartum days, burping tricks, Tez’s current ice obsession, and her homebirth prep. And we need your help, Dazeys! We’re gathering natural pain relief ideas for labour to add to Tez’s smorgasbord of tools, so send us your best tried-and-true tips.
