This week on KOTOT Motherhood, I'm joined by my friend Taku, a single mum who's showing us what "super mum" actually looks like in practice; not the highlight reel, the real logistics. We talk honestly about her journey through holding it own for her kids and how she keeps her household running day to day: the systems, the mindset, the trade-offs and the sheer determination it takes to make sure her kids lack for nothing, even when she's doing it largely on her own. Taku pulls back the curtai...

16| Survival Tips for First Time Mums
There's a particular kind of tiredness that comes with being a first-time mum: the kind where you're doing everything you can and still feel like you're missing a manual everyone else got a copy of. This episode is that manual, or at least some nuggets from some useful pages of it. I sit down to share some tips I have picked up along the way from the women a few seasons ahead who've learned, often the hard way, what's worth worrying about and what isn't. The focus is on quick wins which are ...

15| Friendships in Motherhood Unpacked
Different Seasons with the Same Squad. I am so excited for this latest episode because my best friend is on the sofa with me and we're getting into the beautifully messy topic of friendship in motherhood.

We're talking about what happens to friendships once babies enter the chat especially the ones with your girls who aren't mums...

It's officially week however-many of school holidays and if your snack cupboard looks like it survived a home invasion, you are not alone! Aliens got my house too!! In this episode, I'm popping in for a quick no real agenda check-in, just us catching up on how the holidays are actually going (spoiler: somewhere between "we're thriving" and "is it bedtime yet, no judgment if it's 3pm"). I am honest about the very real trap of turning into a 24/7 entertainment committee for tiny hu...

Grief, Motherhood, and Coming Home to KOTOT
Ahhhh this is a hard one for me because this episode is less of an episode and more of a check-in with my KOTOT community and to some degree also with myself. I've been away for a while and I am finally ready(ish) to share why: My dad passed away. KOTOT is about keeping on top of things as mothers but I have to tell you, I haven't had a clue how to keep on top of this one. I've been trying to navigate it all as a mum, as a daughter, as just a person trying to hold it together: the...

Happy Mother’s Day After a "little" break and seven months of navigating life postpartum with baby number three, I felt like this was the perfect moment to sit down, press record and reconnect with my mum village.

I’m sharing a little about what the last few months have looked like behind the scenes, what motherhood feels like in this season of life, and wh...

09| Happy Mother's Day 2025
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there! Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate us—the heart and soul of so many families. Motherhood is a beautiful, fulfilling journey, but it also comes with its twists and turns. That’s why today, we’re talking about something that often gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list: self-care. We all give so much to those around you, and as hard as it can be sometimes, we need to remember, we can’t pour from an empty cup. Whether ...
