She's Still In There: Identity shifts, postpartum fatigue and getting out the door with little kids.
<p>This week on Growing we’re wondering where our inner girls have disappeared to. We chat about the all-consuming season of motherhood, how many layers of our former selves feel quietly tucked away, and the strange mix of missing the freedom of “before” while knowing, we wouldn’t trade where we are now for the world. </p><p>Beth gets wonderfully practical, taking us through exactly how she manages to get a toddler and two tiny babies out of the house. </p><p>Meanwhile Lil’s postpartum fatigue has finally caught up with her and the very real tension of desperately wanting to soak up every moment while also needing five uninterrupted minutes. </p><p>This week Lil is recommending a comforting<a href="https://www.recipetineats.com/chicken-pot-pie/#recipe"> <u>chicken pot pie recipe</u></a>, while Beth loved reading <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Heir-Apparent-riveting-Reeses-between/dp/146076790X/ref=asc_df_146076790X?mcid=b26fb14266253512949f537476f1a074&tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=737986276474&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3024229741563550333&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1000225&hvtargid=pla-2442134119579&psc=1&hvocijid=3024229741563550333-146076790X-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1"><u>The Heir Apparent</u></a>.

We hope this episode reminds you that even if parts of yourself feel a little dormant right now, they’re still there — and so are we. 🤍</p><p><br></p>

Does The Dummy Fairy Toilet Train?
<p>This week on Growing we’re (as usual) deep in the beautiful chaos of motherhood. Lil is currently negotiating with the dummy fairy and wondering if, while she’s collecting dummies, she could kindly also toilet train a toddler at the same time? Her glimmer this week is Walk & Talk officially returning - so if you’re a Brisbane mama needing coffee, sunshine and company, slide into Lil’s DMs. </p><p>Meanwhile Beth is firmly in the trenches navigating the intense reality of breastfeeding two babies. Amongst the chaos comes a beautiful full circle moment with the twins and a reminder that sometimes the very best things in life look nothing like ‘the plan’</p><p>Beth is recommending a breastfeeding cover from <a href="https://promisedthelabel.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorGT8T82XJoX-VniAmRHMugN30aMSl-3otpSCrr6sDri0Hm1qTU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Promised The Label</a> for distracted babies and feeding on the go, while Lil has been hooked by<a href="https://www.penguin.com.au/books/silver-elite-9781804950722"> <u>Silver Elite —</u></a> a dystopian read with just enough lust to successfully drag her off her phone, which frankly feels like personal growth.</p><p>Recipe wise Beth has whipped up a meatball <a href="https://sulaandspice.com/beef-and-zucchini-meatballs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">recipe</a> for us, while Lil is loving a breakfast crumble moment — think<a href="https://thehealthychef.com/blogs/recipes/apple-crumble?srsltid=AfmBOorngNnRasDHRinEF2aU44bJWglDUzc0X4bwMpuIIKz756iQr2Uh"> <u>apple crumble</u></a> energy, but throw in some nuts, seeds and yoghurt so it feels vaguely nourishing.</p><p>And a huge thank you to our sponsor<a href="https://soundslam.com.au/?utm_source=chatgpt.com"> <u>Sound Slam</u></a> — an incredible Aussie-made learning tool helping little ones build the early literacy skills that support school readiness through fun, play-based learning. Big fans over here.</p><p>As always Glimmer Girlies — thank you for being here, we’re so glad you are 🤍 </p><p>Join us on Instagram @growingthepodcast @birthwithbeth and @lillian.beth and if you haven’t already left us a 5 star review wherever you listen we would be so grateful. </p><p><br></p>

Breaking News: This Is Hard
<p>This week on Growing we’re discussing a fairly groundbreaking revelation: motherhood is amazing and also, very hard. Possibly the biggest slice of humble pie either of us have ever consumed. One universal truth remains - men could absolutely never.</p><p>The constant questioning of am I doing enough? Am I doing this right? and the vulnerability that creeps in when comparison enters the chat. Beth reflects on life with the twins and how, with a little hindsight, some parts of this season have felt heavy. It’s a lot… but gosh golly, it’s worth it.</p><p>Meanwhile Lil would like to formally acknowledge that she misses the era of spontaneous vinos with girlfriends. And can we all agree we are somehow simultaneously under and overstimulated at once? How is that possible. Science, explain.</p><p>Beth has a <a href="https://www.donnahay.com.au/recipes/fresh-light/date-almond-and-cacao-bliss-balls"><u>bliss ball recipe</u></a> to tackle the breastfeeding munchies and is currently loving the surprisingly elite shhhhhh setting on<a href="https://www.ergopouch.com.au/collections/drift-away-white-noise-machine?utm_source=chatgpt.com"> <u>ErgoPouch Drift Away White Noise Machine</u></a> — highly recommend giving it a whirl. Lil is recommending house slippers, ignoring the state of your floors, and stocking the freezer with these<a href="https://www.recipetineats.com/shredded-mexican-beef-burritos-freezer-friendly/"> <u>Shredded Mexican Beef Burritos</u></a> because future you deserves support.</p><p>A little love this week for <a href="https://soundslam.com.au"><u>Sound Slam </u></a>a brilliant Aussie-created, play-based learning tool. Grounded in the science of reading, it helps little ones develop phonological awareness through connection, play and learning that genuinely feels fun (which frankly is the dream). Perfect for families wanting to build confidence before those school years arrive.</p><p>As always, thank you Glimmer Girlies. Motherhood can feel enormous, beautiful, relentless and deeply humbling all at once — we see you, and we’re so glad you’re here 🤍</p><p>Follow us! </p><p>@growingthepodcast</p><p>@birthwithbeth_ </p><p>@lillian.beth</p><p><br></p>
