As a woman, you’re perfectly imperfect, overworked and seriously misunderstood.

Oh don’t forget self-care – add it to the bloody list. But let's face it, we’re the smarter species and live longer. Shanelle and Tamara navigate the steep learning curve of life’s shit storm, giving you permission to stop, feel heard, and pour your beverage of choice. Spoken with humour, heart and truth, it’s survival of the fittest and nobody’s winning. If laughter is your tonic and you’re flying by the seat of your pants, this podcast is for you. (And also for those brave blokes who dare to listen). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

OK, THAT'S WEIRD- FROM THE ARCHIVES

3/31/2024
Today we bring you an episode from our archives! In parenthood there is certainly no ‘one size fits all’ however, some things are so left of centre that they cause an adverse reaction and our immediate response is - ‘There is no way I’d do that!!'. On the flip side, when we share some idiosyncrasies with others (like swaying an invisible baby in the supermarket line when you hear another child cry), it's funny to admit, we're all weirdos in our own unique and wonderful ways. Shan and Tam take a deep dive into some of the whacky things our mothers were told when they were pregnant and also how parenting differs in other countries. No judgements here, but it’s always fun to show some comparisons and maybe even some relatability! Like this episode? Then check out earlier episode The Lies We Tell on Spotify or Apple Podcasts This episode was first published on November 2021 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
