  • NTM 515: Raising Kids Without Losing Yourself
    2025/05/05

    When we first began parenting, there was limited social media and no algorithm flooding us with answers — only books, workshops, blogs, and the occasional playgroup. In many ways, we were completely fringe — walking a path that asked us to discover ourselves through motherhood, not lose ourselves to it.

    In this episode, we honour the beauty of seeing your child as an extension of yourself — the profound joy and deep nourishment that brings — and we also hold the truth that it’s easy to get lost. That tending to your child’s needs can so easily eclipse your own. We’re offering three essential “bumper bars” — like rails on a bowling lane — to help you navigate the dance between mothering your children and mothering yourself.

    In this episode we discuss:
    •Why loving your child as an extension of you can be beautiful — and why it’s not the whole story
    •The hidden cost of always putting your child’s needs above your own
    •Bumper Bar #1: Don’t ignore your creative impulses — why your creative fire is life-giving and how to honour it, even when it feels inconvenient
    •Bumper Bar #2: Your child is not an extension of you — how over-identification leads to burnout, control battles, and loss of self
    •Learning to let go of constant “better-best” parenting and allowing your child’s autonomy to flourish
    •Noticing where your child’s choices reflect them — not your success or failure
    •Bumper Bar #3: Tending to your identity as a woman — why caring for your body, heart, sexuality, and self-expression is non-negotiable for a whole and fulfilled life
    •How neglecting the woman within leads to feeling unseen, undesirable, and disconnected — and how to gently find your way back

  • NTM 514: When Motherhood Strains Your Marriage - What Nobody Talks About
    2025/04/28

    Motherhood cracks open a whole new world — and with it, a thousand unseen fractures in our relationships. In this episode, we sit tenderly and truthfully with the discomfort of disconnection, resentment, and the quiet heartbreak so many couples experience as they build their families. This is the conversation that rarely gets spoken, but so desperately needs to be heard.

    In this episode we discuss:
    •The hidden grief and resentment of feeling disconnected from your partner in early motherhood
    •How chasing the “perfect mother” archetype can consume all your emotional energy — and leave your relationship starving
    •The way babies meet your oxytocin needs — and how this can unconsciously push your partner further away
    •The growing conflict as children’s needs, demands, and family dynamics evolve
    •The chasm created by inequity in the mental load and emotional labour of parenting
    •How different parenting styles can ignite deeper wounds and escalate conflict
    •The myth of “children are the ultimate gift” — and the struggle it hides underneath
    •Why parenting doesn’t trigger your attachment wounds in the same way partnership does — and why relationship becomes the real crucible for growth
    •Moving beyond the narrative of being “touched out” to understanding deeper emotional abandonment wounds
    •Why daily self-care is essential for sustaining connection and vitality (not a luxury or a reward)
    •How prioritising women’s bodies beyond function is crucial for better sex, intimacy, and relationship health
    •The cost of invisibilising women’s lived experiences of motherhood — and how we begin to heal

  • NTM 513: From Full-Time Mothering to Full-Time Work
    2025/04/21

    What happens when the parts of you that once felt so whole now feel split between boardrooms and bedtime stories?

    In this episode, we walk alongside Bridget’s raw and revealing journey — from leaving corporate to raise her children, to now returning to full-time work… and all the identity unraveling that’s come with it. The ache of being enamoured with your child, while also craving the fulfilment of purposeful work. The disorientation of feeling siloed — one version of yourself at work, another at home — never fully authentic in either space. The grief of realising you’ve outgrown one version of yourself, without yet knowing how to fully step into the next.

    Together, we explore what it takes to reconcile the woman, the mother, the leader — and the longing to find a way of living where those identities merge, not compete.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    – The grief of identity shifts and the whiplash of watching others shift online
    – The slow, steady coming into consciousness around inner conflict and desire
    – The Care-Career Conundrum by Dr Sophie Brock
    – Can you scaffold your children without being fully immersed in them?
    – Creating capacity in your life by auditing time, delegating, and setting limits
    – How your lack of flexibility can push your partner into responsibility
    – Financial visioning for your family’s future
    – Quality time vs. quantity time and releasing the guilt of not being “always on”
    – Holding grace for when it all falls apart

  • NTM 512: The Growth You’re Stopping: Are You Your Own Roadblock?
    2025/04/14

    This one’s a little edgy. You might feel the sting at first. Maybe even a full-body ‘nope!’. But if you’re growth-oriented, it’ll plant a seed you can’t ignore.

    Because what if you are the biggest thing standing in the way of the life you say you want?

    We explore the uncomfortable signs that you’re outgrowing who you’ve been — like the rising gnarkiness at the things you used to love, the quiet burnout from living a life that no longer fits, and the mind-looping that keeps you from acting on your instincts.

    This is an episode about identity, exhaustion, authenticity, and the bravery it takes to move forward when everyone around you would prefer you stay the same.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    – The signs you’re outgrowing your current identity
    – The gnawing annoyance at what once lit you up
    – Why ignoring your needs might be a holdover from childhood conditioning
    – How staying “heady” can keep you from your truth
    – The link between inauthenticity and depletion
    – The emotional fallout of watching someone you admire change — and what it triggers in you
    – Why being authentic might mean disappointing others — and why it’s worth it
    – How getting clear on your future vision is the antidote to Groundhog Day living

    If you’re tired of your own stories and ready to reclaim your energy, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.

  • NTM 511: Resentment Isn’t the Problem—It’s the Portal
    2025/04/07

    This one’s for the women who do it all... and are starting to feel the cost.

    In this episode, we’re unpacking the slow, quiet build of resentment—the kind that hides in the “I’ll just do this one thing” that becomes ten. The kind that spirals when you’ve picked up the towel, the shoes, the lunchbox (again), while giving your kids ten chances—and watching your partner silently fume that you keep doing it.

    We talk about:

    - How the mental load compounds as your children grow

    - Why your partner’s frustration might be pointing to your power leaks

    - The moment your people-pleasing starts looking like control

    - The deeply uncomfortable truth of emasculation and how we train him to defer

    - What it really means to let go of control (hint: it’s not about doing less—it’s about loving more of what you’re choosing)

    - And why resentment might be sacred—not shameful

    - You’ll hear how hiding your truth to avoid disappointment ends up costing more, and what reclaiming your purposeful power actually looks like.

    It’s raw, it’s real, and it might just give you the permission you didn’t know you needed.

  • NTM 510: Inside Our Bedroom & Beyond – Part Two: Desire, Disconnection & Finding the Spark Again
    2025/04/02

    We kick off this episode with an honest chat about parenting our autistic child — what it asks of us individually and as a couple. It was meant to be a quick segue into sex after long days… but became its own detour (because that’s real life). If you can hang in through the parenting feels, the juicy bits arrive soon after.

    We open up about desire, body changes, flirty connection, and how we keep choosing each other in the mundane, chaotic, and overwhelming days. From the gym-sex metaphor to stepping towards instead of away when one of us is shut down, this conversation is full of real, imperfect, heart-and-body truths.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    - Parenting our autistic child and the emotional toll it takes on intimacy

    - The evolving perception of each other as woman, man, mother, and father

    - How desire shifts through exhaustion, resentment, and seasons of distance

    - Nick’s reflections on my changing body, including prolapse, and how he holds that with love

    - The “gym mindset” — why sex is worth the effort even when you're not in the mood

    - The subtle but powerful ways we say “I desire you” through daily touch, playfulness, and presence

    - How the mental load and unspoken stories can quietly erode intimacy

    - What helps us rekindle sexual connection, even when we feel worlds apart

    - Conflict, shutdowns, and how we've learnt to reach for each other instead of turning away

    - Why connection — emotional, physical, and erotic — is the anchor for our relationship and our family

  • NTM 509: Inside Our Bedroom & Beyond: A Candid Conversation With My Husband – Part One
    2025/03/24

    What really holds a relationship together when the mental load is heavy, emotions are high, and life keeps pulling you in different directions? In this raw and intimate conversation, Julie and her husband, Nick, reflect on their journey as a couple — where they’ve struggled, where they’ve grown, and what’s helped them stay connected through it all.

    Julie wants you to know: We don’t have all the answers, but we’ve learnt some powerful lessons (often the hard way) about communication, conflict, and creating a partnership that holds space for evolution, difference, and deep love.

    Whether you’re in the thick of parenting, navigating mismatched expectations, or just wanting to feel more seen by your partner — this one is for you.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    - The moments that shaped our relationship and how we’ve grown together through them
    - Mental load and how we’ve come to understand and redistribute it in our home
    - How we support each other’s personal and professional goals while still showing up in partnership
    - What we’ve learnt about conflict — from defensiveness and anger to respectful repair
    - The power of taking space, staying curious, and not reacting from assumptions
    - How Nick has learnt to read my body language and step towards me — and how I’ve learnt to give him room to process
    - The importance of holding respect for the person you love — even when it’s hard
    - How the standards we hold for ourselves shape the way we show up for each other
