Teresa Palmer is the ultimate working mum. From boldly walking into a talent agent’s office and declaring she’d be a mother first and an actor second, to negotiating flights and breastfeeding breaks into every project—she does it all on her terms.

Now pregnant with her sixth child, Teresa Palmer lives life with her heart on her sleeve—dreamer, doer, and total open book.

You might know her from The Mother Daze podcast, her acting roles, or her bestselling book The Zen Mama Guide to Finding Your Rhythm in Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond, but in this chat, she’s all heart, humour, and raw honesty.

What you'll hear in this conversation:

- The ten-page letter she wrote to manifest her husband
- Her new role in The Last Anniversary
- The wild ride of raising five kids across two countries
- The village of women who keep her sane
- What motherhood has taught her about identity, creativity, and connection

Teresa is as real as they come. This one’s for anyone trying to do it all—and keep their heart intact while they’re at it.
