Ep 33: 10 Year Old Bullied Over Whatsapp & Lazy Things People Do We Hate
In this episode, we dive into an unexpected and eye-opening situation where our 10-year-old daughter became the target of bullying on WhatsApp—despite not even owning a phone. What started as a troubling experience turned into a powerful moment of growth and learning for our daughter.
In the second half, we lighten the mood with a fun (and slightly petty) rant about the lazy habits people have that drive us crazy—including some of our own! Expect laughs, real talk, and maybe a little friendly roasting.

Ep 32: Secondary Schools & Things We Do As Parents That We Don’t Tell People
In this episode, we dive into the new drama Adolescence—and let’s just say, the school portrayal was... something else. We unpack how it was depicted and what it stirred up for us, especially with our eldest heading into those years soon.
We also get personal, sharing some of the things we do as parents that don’t always make it into conversation. It’s honest, a little messy, and definitely real.

Ep 31: Parenting Hindsight - What We Wish We Knew
Sara's sister has just had a baby, which got us reminiscing about our own experiences as new parents. Looking back, there are definitely things we would do differently—hindsight is a wonderful thing! We’re not parenting experts, but if we could give our past selves some advice, we certainly would. And just to be clear—there are no more babies in our future… we’re done!

Ep 30: The Problems with 100% Attendance Awards, Jungle Mayhem, & Our Love/Hate List
In this episode, we dive into the controversial 100% attendance awards given to kids and explore the potential pitfalls they create. We share some candid feedback from parents and offer our own perspective on why these awards might do more harm than good.
Plus, when our daughter brought home the class mascot, Jungle, what was meant to be a fun week turned into a hilarious disaster! Finally, we round off with a lighthearted segment where we break down three things we love about people and three things that drive us nuts.
Tune in for a fun, honest conversation—if you find yourself relating to any of our pet peeves, don’t take it too personally!

Ep 29: Leading Neuroscientist TJ Power: How Modern Life is Hurting our kids Minds & What We Can do about it…
In this episode, we sit down with TJ Power, founder of Dose Lab and author of a Sunday Times Bestseller. DOSE stands for Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins—four brain chemicals that dictate how we feel, behave, and interact with the world. TJ breaks down each chemical and explains how modern behaviors are affecting them, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and lack of motivation in both adults and children.
We dig deep into how we can change our behaviors to help ourselves and our kids live thriving, fulfilling lives. There’s so much to learn here, making this a must-watch for all parents!
