Joana, a self-proclaimed “Portuguese made, Aussie born, wannabe psychologist,” joins us for a thoughtful and heartfelt conversation about her complex journey to motherhood. She shares her experience of building a small family, remembering the grief of losing her parents, and how she works to keep their values alive for her son. This episode is a powerful blend of strength and vulnerability, touching on the often-silent grief of miscarriage, how it can shape a woman’s relationship with her body, and the healing that can come from opening up to community.

Charlie finally gets the chance to interview his sister-in-law, Maree Frewen, about her journey into motherhood. Maree’s deep love for her children shines through as she shares her story of navigating a controlling relationship, pursuing family court proceedings, moving interstate, and single parenting while managing the onset of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Our mums are made of tough stuff, and Maree is no exception. She leads with heart, resilience, and determination. Enjoy this authentic and inspiring chat.

Two Mums for the price of one (that price was $0—we can’t afford to pay our guests).

Claire Sara and Nina McCann aren’t new to sharing their story. They’ve documented their entire IVF journey on YouTube, helping to demystify the process for so many others.

In this episode, we have a fun, open, and refreshingly honest chat about IVF, postnatal anxiety, sexual identity, and building a family.

We know these two will warm your hearts like they did ours.
