We’ve reached 200 episodes (I can’t believe it!) and we’re reflecting in this solo ep, where I delve into:

🎙 Starting the podcast with 0 audience or followers and building it to what it is today

🎙 What drives me after 200 episodes

🎙 Why celebrating the small moments is critical to our motivation – shout out to my coach Kris (@insideoutwithkris) for her insights here

🎙 My greatest insecurities to date and the re-frame

And so much more …

Shout-out to everyone who has tuned in to episodes, followed us on Instagram, watched us on Youtube. To every guest, sponsor and contributor. Parenthood would not be where it is today without every single one of you.

🎙 Why my relationship is put under the test during school holidays

Solo episodes are back by hot demand and this week you get an insight into our latest tiff.

All about - being bloody home for dinner.

Who else struggles to wait for their partner to get home, because you’re starving?

Who else counts down the minutes before your partner walks through the door?

Who else snacks on crackers and vegemite as you wait?

If this is you, you’re not alone!

To be let in to the organised chaos that is my life behind closed doors, tune in now.
