In this mini-episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah talk about what’s really on their minds — Turning into “feral dragons” with their kids, the art of repair after rupture, and why it’s not always on your preferred time schedule. There’s chat about the pressures we put on ourselves of parenting perfectly and why it’s crucial to learn how to give yourself grace and stay connected to the authenticity of your feelings.

Grab your ice cream and listen in for a good, slightly unhinged kōrero about life’s less-than-reel-worthy moments.

In this episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah welcome back one of their most-loved guests, Georgia Vavasour, to take us deep into the cosmic world of Vedic astrology — or Jyotish, the ‘science of light’.

If you’ve ever wondered what the exact time of your birth might reveal about your life’s blueprint — your strengths, your ‘stuckness’, your timing, your relationships, and even your parenting, this one’s here to enlighten. Georgia, one of the world’s most experienced Vedic meditation teachers, has added Jyotish to her toolkit, and the way she deciphers charts is a lot less woo-woo and a lot more practical wisdom.

They explore what your birth chart can reveal about your soul’s journey, why some life phases feel like a slog and others feel effortless, and how we can align ourselves with planetary energy instead of constantly swimming against the tide. She also shows us how our children’s charts can reveal exactly what they need from us, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually, and why this knowledge can be an absolute game-changer in how we show up as parents.

They obviously talk dating and if it’s okay to finagle someone’s birth time out of them ... And, Matty has her chart read live on air (for the very first time), and we find out why she and Hannah are so freakishly well matched as ‘podcast partners’.

In this mini-episode of Untidy, Steph Campbell shares her extraordinary journey to heal her daughter’s extreme food intolerances. Steph found herself facing a stark reality: she would have to live indefinitely on only three foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner — lamb, leeks and green beans. Even the smallest mistake, as she breastfed her baby daughter, sent them to hospital. Desperate for a solution when no one else could help, Steph discovered the power of a supportive community of mums, and gut healing through anaerobic fermentation — and within just weeks, everything changed.

Off the back of Steph’s life-changing discovery, she founded Clover Ferments, a company born from a mother’s love, sheer grit and determination! Steph’s story is filled with hope for anyone struggling with allergies, gut issues, or feeling let down by the traditional system.

In this episode of Untidy, Alice Soper is back behind the mic with Hannah, stepping in as co-host once more while Matilda continues to handle the jandal.

Alice and Hannah get into Alice’s journey toward motherhood in a queer partnership. From wanting to be a mum, tweaking her fiancee’s algorithm, finding sperm donors, considering whakapapa, and choosing to step outside the medical system; Alice takes us on her queer journey towards motherhood.

Alice opens up about the big conversations with her partner, the moment she knew she wanted to carry, and how they’re hoping to build their whanau with love, intention, and community.

The girls take a detour into Alice’s elaborate proposal, a history lesson on the rebellion of women’s rugby, and a solid rant about gender politics in sport.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah are joined by internationally renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr Stacy Sims — a trailblazer on a mission to revolutionise how women train, eat, and perform.

Known for her viral TED Talk “Women Are Not Small Men”, bestselling book Roar, and over 100 peer-reviewed papers, Stacy has dedicated her career to closing the gender gap in sports science. In this conversation, she dives into the often-overlooked physiological and emotional challenges girls face during puberty — challenges that are too often misunderstood or ignored, causing many to lose confidence and drop out of sport.

With her new course NEXT GEN, Stacy is focused on educating coaches and parents to better support developing girls. She explores how puberty impacts performance, confidence, and injury risk, and why it’s crucial to rethink how we train and talk to our daughters. From the damaging effects of language like “girl pushups” and “sissy squats,” to the ripple effects of diet culture and uniform design, Stacy highlights the changes we need to make — and how to do it.

This episode is a rallying cry to shift the culture around girls’ health, sport, and self-image — and to give them the tools, language, and support they deserve.
