Introducing a new sibling into your family is a huge transition for everyone! And for those of us that have gone through it, we know the transition can be a bit tricky for the older kids. In this episode weâre chatting to psychologist Sahra OâDoherty about how to manage your older childrenâs emotions when introducing a new sibling.
We talk about things to do before the baby arrives to help prepare them, what you can do after the baby arrives to make them feel included and continue the sense of routine, as well as how to identify if your child is struggling with this big change.
We also discuss tips for regulating our own emotions during this transition, because letâs be honest, itâs tricky for the parents too! We also delve into what is mindfulness vs mindlessness and how to incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine.
Sahra has been a registered Psychologist for over 12 years, is co-owner of Mindscape Psychology and Allied Health, and is President of Australian Association of Psychologists inc. Sahra is a feminist psychologist and is passionate about issues such as the mental load, gender norms and expectations with kids.

WTAF!? Controversial topics in bite sized portions. When you only have time for a quick fix, but youâre wanting something spicy!
In this weekâs episode of WTAF weâre talking about the recent controversy around Peppa Pig! If you have no idea what weâre talking about, Peppa Pig has been in the media recently being accused of being a bully, a brat and fat shaming her Dad.
In this episode we chat about whether we think kids shows should include these topics to help children know how to work through those situations in real life, or if itâs encouraging our kids to feel like itâs ok to be rude or mean to their friends and family.
We chat about our own kids and whether we think our kids are absorbing shows in a healthy way, or a concerning way.
Tune in for all the spicy goss! And once youâve listened, head to our Instagram and let us know what you think!

Returning to work after kids can be a very stressful transition, made more difficult with huge waitlists for daycare centres and the cost of living. In this weekâs episode weâre discussing different ways you can make the return to work more flexible, and better suited to your family and situation.
Weâre joined by the amazing Lauren, a mum of 2 and Founder of BubbaDesk â Australiaâs pioneering coworking space with onsite childcare, located across NSW. Lauren talks us through her first transition back to work which caused her to stop breastfeeding before she was ready to, and left her feeling unsupported by the company she was working with.
Lauren gives us tips on different things to consider before this big transition, and options you can take with your employer to discuss more flexible working arrangements. Lauren also talks us through what her business Bubbadesk offers parents - with dedicated childrenâs areas managed by experienced nannies at a 4:1 care ratio, and a separate coworking space with 27â monitors, private call rooms, and a gym. BubbaDesk is reinventing the way parents return to work with a holistic space tailored to supporting families and facilitating a happy work life balance.

Welcome to our first episode in the WTAF series! Controversial topics in bite sized portions. When you only have time for a quick fix, but youâre wanting something spicy!
What better way to launch our new series than to gasbag about our own recent controversy - Hannahâs reel on her food bill! For anyone who didnât see the reel, Hannah shared what she spends on food per week (which is wild lets be honest) and the post got LOTS of feedback, went a little bit viral and started attracting some aggressive comments from randos on the internet.
We chat about the context behind the post and why we ultimately decided to take it down. We also chat about the ethics around what we should post on social media, whether itâs ok to delete comments, whether itâs ok to delete posts and what is healthy criticism vs online bullying.
Tune in for all the spicy goss, and please donât troll this ep, we love you!!
