概要

One thing about being a parent – there’s no shortage of personalities to be surrounded by. Our kids, our partners, our family, our friends. They keep us laughing, growing, loving, and crying. If only they understood us. Like the musician Van Morrison once sang “When people understand what I mean, mama said there will be days like this.” Adelaide Australia’s Kate Mason is an author, wife, and mother who has spent her career studying personality and relationships. In this podcast she looks at why relationships work, and why some don't. She also looks at how our personalities impact our relationships and examines what compels our children, husbands, wives and others to behave the way they do. This podcast is designed to help you understand those you love. A half hour listening on your own, will connect you with the ones you care about the most.

  • Solo Mum By Choice: Lorena Otes on Redefining Family
    2026/04/21

    What if the "right" path to parenthood looked nothing like the one you imagined and turned out to be exactly the one you were meant to take?

    Kate Mason sits down with Lorena Otes, author of Solo Mum By Choice, dance teacher, and mother who made one of the most courageous choices a woman can make: to become a parent entirely on her own terms.

    Lorena opens up about navigating 12 rounds of IVF, genetic discoveries she never expected, the emotional and financial reality of solo fertility treatment, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when life doesn't follow the script.

    Her story reframes what family can look like and will leave listeners understanding that love, consistency, and showing up are what truly define a parent.

    Listen For:

    2:52 Was becoming a parent always something Lorena had envisioned for herself?

    7:03 What did Lorena discover about her own genetics when she began the IVF process?

    13:46 What did 12 rounds of IVF really feel like emotionally and practically for Lorena?

    20:06 How does a fiercely independent personality shape the solo parenting experience?

    36:12 What advice does Lorena have for anyone considering the solo parenthood path?

  • When Shit Hits the Fan: A Guide to Surviving the Chaos
    2026/04/14

    What if the hard weeks…the ones where nothing is catastrophically wrong, but everything still feels completely overwhelming…are actually telling you something important about yourself?

    Kate Mason invites you into one of those weeks.

    A solo episode unlike any other, Kate shares the real, raw, and sometimes messy experience of a family illness unfolding over Easter. Sick grandchildren, worried parents, a husband mistaken for a heart attack, and Kate herself, the last one standing.

    With warmth and honesty, Kate connects everyday stress to the deeper work of understanding ourselves and those we love.

    This episode offers personality-aware tools for getting through life's quietly destabilising moments.

    Not by fixing everything, but by staying steady while it passes.


    Listen For

    2:01 How did a vomiting bug over Easter turn into a week Kate will never forget?

    5:24 What happens when you're the main caregiver for everyone and you can't even be near them?

    8:53 How do other families quietly carry these kinds of exhausting, invisible weeks?

    12:34 What practical tools can help you get through a week when everything feels like a lot?

    15:22 Why does acknowledging your stress, rather than minimizing it, actually help you recover faster?

  • Re-Humaning Your Family: Is Modern Life Stealing Your Family's Wellbeing?
    2026/04/07

    What if the overwhelm you feel as a parent isn't a personal failing but a signal that something deeply human is missing from your family's life?

    Kate Mason sits down with Stephanie Malia Krauss, an educator, social worker, author, and mother of teenage boys, to explore the revolutionary idea of "re-humaning": reclaiming the connections, love, and belonging that modern life has quietly stolen from our families.

    Stephanie's latest book, How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World, draws on decades of working with young people and thousands of conversations with overwhelmed parents and caregivers worldwide.

    Together, Kate and Stephanie unpack the science behind why our children are struggling, and the beautifully simple, practical shifts that can transform your family's wellbeing starting today.

    Understanding your child and those you love has never felt more urgent…or more hopeful.


    Listen For

    2:59 What personal experiences shaped Stephanie's lifelong commitment to caring for children?

    10:20 How did the pandemic reveal what overwhelmed parents and children truly need?

    23:37 What does the science tell us about connection, love, and belonging as human essentials?

    30:50 How does the story of Eastern European orphanages show us what children cannot survive without?

    41:06 What small intentional actions can parents take this week to rebuild belonging in their family?
