    Pack Your Hospital Bag, Everyone's Angry About Something - Episode 11

    This week we’re back in classic form, bouncing between real-life parenting prep, questionable advice, and the kind of conversations that somehow go off the rails but still feel weirdly helpful. We check in on where things are at, what’s coming next, and the growing realisation that things are about to change… again. There’s plenty of overthinking, a few moments of clarity, and the usual mix of confidence. As always, we cover the stuff no one really prepares you for, the conversations, the decisions, and the random thoughts that hit you at the worst possible time.------------------------------------- Alex has two kids.

    Sam Jacobs: AFL Star and Dad Of Three - Episode 10

    This week we’re joined by former AFL ruckman Sam Jacobs to talk about life as a professional athlete and what happens when you add kids into the mix. We chat about balancing a professional sporting career with family life, the realities of being away from home, and what it’s like moving interstate with your partner and kids when footy calls (and add a little Covid 19 pandemic into the mix). Sam shares what those transitions look like behind the scenes, and how family becomes your anchor when everything else is changing. We also get into the crossover between elite sport and parenting: discipline, routine, resilience and how those skills translate (or sometimes don’t) when you’re dealing with kids instead of teammates. Now coaching at Woodville West Torrens, Sam talks about passing on his experience to the next generation, helping young players coming through not just with footy, but with life off the field as well. And for anyone not quite there yet, Sam offers some surprisingly practical advice: get a dog first. Turns out it’s a pretty solid training ground for the chaos that comes with raising kids. ------------------------------------- Alex has two kids. Scott would like some.

    Scott's Hawaiian Babymoon - Episode 8

    Scott’s coming to you live(ish) from Hawaii, where he’s on a babymoon with his wife — because nothing says “relaxing holiday” like being heavily pregnant in a different time zone. We check in on where both pregnancies are at, including the joys of the blood glucose test (spoiler: no one does that for fun), how things are progressing, and the strange mix of excitement and low-level anxiety that seems to follow you everywhere. There’s also: 🌺 Luau chat and cultural immersion ✈️ The mental gymnastics of travelling while pregnant 🏠 That weird feeling of being far from home “just in case” 📖 A Word of the Week that absolutely does not go to plan Whether you’re planning a babymoon, navigating mid-pregnancy milestones, or just wondering how much anxiety you can pack into a carry-on, this one’s for you. ------------------------------------- Alex has two kids.
