I 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: cannot believe we actually managed a guest interview, and this 18 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: in one week after such a long drought. Having said that, 19 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: though I am needing to listen to my own advice 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: more than ever lately, that done is better than perfect 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: because there are so many things we didn't get to. 22 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: There are so many things I wanted to say but didn't. 23 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: I didn't express myself as eloquently as I meant to 24 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: insert other self criticism here. Lots to adjust to over 25 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: the last few months, but very glad we are at 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: least back and getting into things again. And to be fair, 27 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: we were pretty chaotic before anyway, So I guess you're 28 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: all conditioned, and I'm so grateful that you are all 29 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: still here, regardless. I can't say how many times we've 30 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: postponed this one. Then we actually lost the first recording 31 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: because of a corrupted memory card, and we didn't even 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: finish that one anyway, And then this one got interrupted 33 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: towards the end by the little Teddy having a teething moment 34 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: and ended up being recorded in two parts. But I realized, 35 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: if I wait for the perfect conditions, he'll pretty much 36 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: be a teenager before we resume the show again. So 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: hopefully pushing Through is a reminder to you guys of 38 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: a theme we've always loved, of letting go of perfection 39 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: and finding some yay in the mess. We had a 40 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: good old time and covered some things that we actually 41 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,279 Speaker 1: hadn't asked each other before over the past couple of months, 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: and has always recorded our cat chaps in real time. 43 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: We didn't do any of these chats beforehand. I love 44 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: giving you guys a little snippet. It's always so nice 45 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: when friends ask you questions that you wouldn't otherwise reflect on, 46 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: and sitting down for these chats really gives us the 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: chance to stop and take a moment and yeah, like 48 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: you'll hear. We actually hadn't had this chat about whether 49 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: or not our friendship had changed since Little Teddy arrived, 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: so I found it really interesting. 51 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: I hope you guys do too. 52 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: I hope it brings you a smile and maybe even 53 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: a laugh, and we will be back. 54 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: With more soon.

We actually 56 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: recorded this three weeks ago, and we had the funniest 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: conversation because we were both so like it was a drought. 58 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: We both just missed speaking. I can't speaking speaking, And 59 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 3: then we spoke for like an hour and ten minutes 60 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 3: and we were laughing at the most stupid things, as 61 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: we do. And then the week after Sarah's like. 62 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: We lost the file file. I'm not actually sure whether 63 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: it's a good thing that we lost the file or 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: a bad thing that we lost it. Like I kind 65 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: of am devastated that we can't share the joy, the 66 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: pure joy of our effee catch up. 67 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: Guys. 68 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: It was all about the in like the weirdest way possible, 69 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: because we obviously don't celebrate the end of financial year, 70 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: but we just made a whole thing of it, and 71 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: it just kept coming back. 72 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: In hindsight now that you said, I'm like, yeah, that 73 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: sounds really lame, like the fact. 74 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: That we were laughing about the effee no believe the word. 75 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I hope that people listening along understand our 76 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: sense of humor because otherwise, like, none of these episodes 77 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: make any sense or would be enjoyable to anybody else. 78 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: So at least we're having fun. 79 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: I think it came up because we were like, oh, 80 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: you know, it's been so long since the last one, 81 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: what truly is the milestone now? And then one of 82 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: us was like, ef ef Teddy's first. 83 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: You know how people take those photos with their babies 84 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: and it says like one month, two month, three months 85 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: might not be like, so, guys, you're getting a sample 86 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: of what the episode was how did we. 87 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: Get back to Efie. The joke went for like thirty minutes. 88 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's still going like three weeks later, 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: but I feel like that's kind of symptomatic of why 90 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: it's taken so long to get back to the show. 91 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: And I've missed you guys so much. I'm so proud 92 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: that we've managed to get a new guest episode out 93 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: somehow after literally like ten weeks or maybe more. I 94 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: think it's been maybe more than ten weeks. But the 95 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: reason is it's obviously taken us three weeks to re 96 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: record the same episode because mum life was chaos. 97 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: Chaos. 98 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, we truly haven't done a catch up since you've 99 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: become mom other than the birth story. But then again, 100 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: I feel like that was like so day zero of 101 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: this journey, that you haven't actually really spoken about mum 102 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 3: life since then, and it's been three four months. So 103 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 3: I had to count on my fingers and I was like, 104 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: what four months. 105 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: That's like it's like me going element op every time 106 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: I have to like say the alphabet, I'm like element. 107 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 3: Four months been of you being a mum. 108 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: Oh my god blows my mind. Still, I still can't 109 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: believe it. 110 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: How has it been? 111 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's been the most incredible, like definitely 112 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: my favorite chapter of my life so far. 113 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: By Miles. 114 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: I look back at even like looking back at the episode, 115 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: so I think just before I had Teddy or before 116 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: before he came by surprise, we did a final episode 117 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: pre mallehood, and that was like two or three episodes ago. 118 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: I can't actually identify anymore with who that person is, 119 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: because now that he's in my world, the whole world 120 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: that he wasn't in doesn't really make sense anymore. Like 121 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: I can't actually remember the person I was before I 122 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 1: was his mum. It's just so weird that you spend 123 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: your entire life in one identity and just four months 124 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: later I reckon even like within a couple of days, 125 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine me without him. 126 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: It's just so weird. 127 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, but weirdly at the same time, actually, maybe not weirdly. 128 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 3: I think it's testimate to you is that you're still 129 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: actually the same person as in from an outside of 130 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: looking in as a friend, you are the same like 131 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 3: airy fairy but also not loser, funny like a person 132 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 3: as you Elie, Like, well, we still love at the 133 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: same stupid things. Yeah, I thought that maybe, you know, 134 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: like would change in a way, not not in a 135 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: bad way or anything, but I imagine, like, you know, sometimes 136 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 3: you don't have the same energy that you might have before. 137 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: But truthfully, every time that I've seen you, you actually have 138 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: the same energy, even if it's like less. So it's 139 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: not like dull. It's still like, oh my god, hype him. 140 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: Let's lie on the couch. Like it's that kind of 141 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: change of energy. But it's not. It's not different in 142 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 3: terms of life. Lie down.

And then Nick, obviously I had been thinking 171 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 3: about it for days, and he messaged me and he went, days, 172 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: did you seriously come to my house eat all of 173 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: my food then leave? 174 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: No, it was the fact that it was a whole 175 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: wheel of breath. 176 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: And then it goes no, he goes, did you come 177 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: to my house, make my baby cry, eat all of 178 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: my food and leave? I said yes, And. 179 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: He's like, what the f yes, correct. 180 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: It's like, yes, your memory serves you right. 181 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so lovely. Like you just said before that 182 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: I haven't changed. We actually haven't discussed. And this is 183 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: why I love the neighborhood because they often hear things 184 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: the first time that we've actually ever chatted about them. 185 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: Like we save our catch ups for you guys. We 186 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: don't have them first and then reh them recording. Often 187 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: it's like the very first time we've had this conversation. 188 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: So we have caught up AND's had some beautiful times 189 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: with Teddy. Obviously she was like the first person who 190 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: came over and the main person who because your family, 191 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: like you've been over since day one and seen all 192 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: the mess and like all the highs and all the 193 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: lows and everything, but we've not had time outside of 194 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: that to actually chat about what you expected, how it's 195 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: felt like as a friend from the outside. So that's 196 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: the first time that I've heard your reaction actually true. 197 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: Like we I guess our chat's always around Teddy and 198 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: how Bee is getting and how cute he is, like 199 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 3: all day long to Bobo, they're not even sentences. It's 200 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: like on to buy as a coach, I'll look at him. 201 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: So it's oh, and this goes for about two hours 202 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 3: and then I'm like, okay, bye, good to see you. 203 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: Like it's so stupid, but as well, it's true. I 204 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: do feel like you truly haven't changed as a person, 205 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: as a personality, as an energy sauce weirdly even though. 206 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 3: And it's funny because the other day, remember you were like, Bim, 207 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: I am normally really bad when I'm sleep deprived, but 208 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 3: I have been sleep deprived for four months and I'm 209 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 3: the same. I was like, you know what, that's actually 210 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 3: pretty true. 211 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: Tickets. Yeah, so used to get like. 212 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: Maybe seven hours instead of eight and be like, pretty, 213 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 3: you're like nas hitting me and then you need to 214 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: have like a really a big sloth day or something, 215 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: but you just haven't. You just can't. Now really, you've 216 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 3: been doing really well, I. 217 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: Think, oh, thanks, Bim. 218 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: And it's funny because just before we started recording, I 219 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: already had like one of the things that I've had 220 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: to navigate that's been like all of it has just 221 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: been absolutely magical, and all the compromises and challenges are 222 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: absolutely worth it. But there have been a lot of adjustments, 223 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: and one of them has been the inability to plan 224 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: things like to plan guest episodes or any kind of 225 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: recording or meeting that isn't flexible. And so today I 226 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: literally said, don't come over to record in person because 227 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: I just don't know, especially in the afternoons, if he'll 228 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: be amenable to it or not. And we've canceled like 229 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: five days in a row. Actually it's been three weeks, 230 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: but even just this week, we've canceled five days in 231 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: a row. 232 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: Because you're not. 233 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: Really sure, particularly for an audio recording versus say snippets 234 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: of you know, a video on Instagram is a bit 235 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: different because it doesn't require like a live conversation, but 236 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: an hour recording, I don't always know that I can 237 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: commit to that, and that kind of really worries me 238 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: because I was feeling really bad. It was like, you know, 239 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: the times you've come over and have canceled, I feel 240 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: like I've wasted your time. And it's been hard for 241 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: me to not be able to be the same a 242 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: friend to a lot of my friends because your capacity 243 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: and reliability, it actually doesn't depend on you anymore. So 244 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: it's like I still have those values that I want 245 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: to be on time and I want to be reliable, 246 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: but out of my control, I actually can't be, which 247 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: is like a weird adjustment because you don't want to 248 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: have to apologize all the time because you know it's 249 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: they should understand that it's part of being a mum. 250 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you're like, but I wish 251 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't doing that to you because I know your 252 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: time is you know, precious as well. If that's been 253 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: one of the interesting parts, I. 254 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: Think that's a good saguity. On to the topic of 255 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 3: what have your main challenges? Well, we don't really have 256 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 3: time today to go through all the questions, which we 257 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: will in the next episode. It was more so touching 258 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: base or asking you what your challenges have been since 259 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: having Teddy. And obviously there's I think there's every day 260 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 3: is a challenge in itself because you've never had this 261 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 3: day before. Every day is like a completely new experience, 262 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: particularly with Teddy. But that was actually one you've never 263 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 3: spoken about for like, if you had to maybe list 264 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 3: three biggest or most obvious challenges that you've had to 265 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 3: kind of experience, what would they be. 266 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question, and I think I've been 267 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: really conscious of I was a little bit harder at 268 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: the start, but I've really been conscious of when sharing 269 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: along the way. I've tried to really keep up or 270 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: not tried it. I mean, it's so easy to share 271 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: your baby when you're just obsessed with him, because it's 272 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: obviously perfect and I love him so much. But sharing 273 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: on socials, like sharing every milestone and every magical new 274 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: moment and how much motherhood has just been transformative and 275 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: special and amazing. I've tried to share that, but then 276 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: also not forget even though it is really hard to 277 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: capture content because you know you're raising a human, to 278 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: also try and share the really hard bits as well, 279 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: so that no other parent watching gets a skewed view, 280 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: Just like I have always with bloops, I've tried to 281 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: kind of not just show the really beautiful bits because 282 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: it is extraordinarily difficult. It's a huge lifestyle change. It 283 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: is sleep deprivation, it's new responsibility that's relentless, that starts 284 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: now and goes until they're independent, like at eighteen or older. 285 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's such a dramatic change. I don't think 286 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: you ever really go through anything quite as transformative that 287 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: happens overnight. Like maybe you go through changes that are 288 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: gradual or that kind of you know, you have a 289 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: bit of you can ease in, but you kind of 290 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: can't with parenthood, like you're either not a parent or 291 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: then the next morning you wake up and. 292 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: You're a parent. 293 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just like this tiny human. So I've 294 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: tried to show the days that are harder as well 295 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: as all the beautiful moments. And I think if I 296 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: had to pick the three biggest ones, it's getting a 297 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: lot better now. But honestly, the first bit was just 298 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: the physiological challenges. So sleep deprivation is something else, Like 299 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: you thought that you'd been tired beforehand, but it is. 300 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: There's a reason that they say it's like being alcohol impair. 301 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: Your mood is different, your ability to be rational is different, 302 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: especially when you've got hormones on top of it, you know, 303 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: getting perspective on things like I would you know, get 304 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: a paper cut or something and then like just cry 305 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: for like four hours about my paper cut because like 306 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: you're tired. 307 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: It's not because you care about it, You're just exhausted. 308 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: So I think learning a whole new person in terms 309 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: of both the baby and yourself and your partner, you're 310 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: all becoming new people. And try to have grace and 311 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: patients through that while you're also tired and at your worst. 312 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: That's really really hard, So that's been one of the 313 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: biggest challenges. 314 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 3: That's actually the thing I'm like the most scared of 315 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 3: when I ever have kids is like the person that 316 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 3: I am when I'm sleep deprived, and also the patience 317 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: your partner needs to be able to understand that it's 318 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 3: sleeped reprivation and that it might be there for a 319 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: while and you kind of have to get through that together. 320 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 3: That's like my greatest fear. I'm like, Yeah, I don't 321 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 3: know what kind of person I am when I'm like 322 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 3: that exhausted, and I don't know how long my partner 323 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: has to be patient with it, and what if they 324 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 3: can't do it for long time and then it's like 325 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 3: they hate me. But these just because I've slept for 326 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 3: one hour or not. 327 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: That's such an interesting fear for you to have. That 328 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: is really fascinating. I wouldn't have picked you to even think, like, 329 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: because you don't worry about sort of stuff that isn't 330 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: immediately in your right now, Like you don't get hung 331 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: up on stuff that's really theoretical. But that's so interesting 332 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: and I definitely had that, But at the same time, 333 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: you're so caught up in having your own patients as well. 334 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: For this tiny human that is the one that's causing 335 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: all of the challenge, and that they're crying and you're 336 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: sort of thinking, well, you don't want to be crying either, 337 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: So you're already kind of drawing from the depths of 338 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: the most patients. You need to sort of understand that 339 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: they're not doing it on purpose, and the hormones as well. 340 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: That just kind of help you through it, and the 341 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: love and magic that comes with it when they do 342 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: give you a smile or when you do watch them 343 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: learn a new skill. Yeah, it's funny. It's in isolation. 344 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: If you just right now, if I tried to simulate 345 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: the sleep deprivation on you, you would turn into like, 346 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: probably not the best version of you. But if you 347 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: had all of the other things around you in context, 348 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: it's different. I don't know why. It's also because you 349 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: have no choice, but there's enough. Yeah, you're getting a 350 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: lot of oxytocin and dopamine from other things as well, 351 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: Like I'm lucky enough to be breastfeeding, and that gives 352 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: you a huge amount of happy hormones. His smile lights 353 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: up the entire world. One of those can get you 354 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: through like an entire day, you know. It's just there's 355 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: enough ups further downs. So yeah, physiological was one, and 356 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: definitely I think I've spoken about a few times. The 357 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: nipple pain from breastfeeding was the other physiological one at 358 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: the start, which is totally calm down now, But I 359 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: was not prepared for that, and I don't think anyone 360 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: speaks about it enough. 361 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 3: No one speaks bad enough. 362 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: It's wild, Like I didn't. 363 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 3: Know about it until you said, and I was like, who. 364 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: Like bawling my eyes out. 365 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: And I have a really high pain threshold, to the 366 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: point where I actually thought this level of pain is unnatural. 367 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: I should stop. 368 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: Whereas now because I've pushed through in your skin, I 369 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: was actually have to toughen up. I can't even feel it. 370 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: So it's just there's so much that has surprised me 371 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: about the human body. So the second one would be, yeah, 372 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: the time. So as someone who has traditionally been a 373 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: obviously part of seizing the a for me, manifests make 374 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: the most of every single second of the day and 375 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: like squeeze in everything you can and obviously burn out 376 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: a little bit, but generally just to make the most 377 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: of the time that I have. And it's been a 378 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: huge adjustment to I want to spend all my time 379 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: just on Teddy. If I could just spend all day, 380 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: every day for the rest of ever, only focusing on 381 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: him and his growth and development and well being and 382 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: just chatting with each. 383 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: Other, it would be the happiest life ever. 384 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: But obviously there's work, and there's like your own personal 385 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: hygiene and like life admin and your partner and your 386 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: friendships and your family. You really go from having twenty 387 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: four hours a day to choose what you do and 388 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: divide it between the pie chart of your life to 389 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: like seven minutes is yours. Like the whole rest of 390 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: the day is consumed by feeding them, burping them, getting 391 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: them to sleep, changing them, shopping for them, appointments like 392 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: in the first little while, there's like an appointment every day, 393 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: doing the admin of like putting them down for birth 394 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: certificate schools. Like it is so much that at the 395 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: end of every day you literally maybe have like twenty 396 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: minutes to fit in all your phone calls to your friends, 397 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: let alone visits, let alone you know, showering, feeding yourself, 398 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: doing your own life, admin work, Like you just have 399 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: so little to work with suddenly, and yet you still 400 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: want to be the same good friend, the same good partner, 401 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: the same good daughter, the same but you just got 402 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: to fit it into nothing. And that's really hard because 403 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,239 Speaker 1: some days I'm just like, how did I get a 404 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: really important message from a really good friend and fourteen 405 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: hours later I haven't replied to them yet, Like how? 406 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: But the day just gets away from you. 407 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you were saying last time, also is 408 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 3: that this is a kind of miss sinceptions from people 409 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: that have maybe don't have kids, or maybe the working 410 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 3: partner that the baby sleeps all day and then so 411 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 3: therefore you must have so much time. But we were 412 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 3: talking about the fact that yes they might sleep a lot, 413 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 3: but in that time, the certainty of the length of 414 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 3: they're sleeping is like there's no certainty. So they could 415 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 3: wake up in ten minutes, they could wake up in fifteen, 416 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: or they could wake up in two hours. And it's 417 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 3: that needing to be on like on call at all 418 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 3: times that's difficult. It's like being a doctor overnight. You know, 419 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: some nights, yes you might not get but you have 420 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 3: to be on call, so you kind of have to 421 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: be on So therefore you don't really get a break, 422 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 3: Like you can't schedule a shower because in that time. 423 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, something might happen. 424 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 3: What if he wakes up, or you can't like start 425 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 3: cooking some great meal because then he might start crying 426 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 3: or needing a feed or whatever. You have time. You 427 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 3: don't have time. Really, you don't have control of your time, 428 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: unless what you were saying to the other day is like, yeah, totally, 429 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 3: there's so much sleep time, but somehow I don't have time. 430 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: It's just that you don't know when it is. Whereas 431 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: most things in life depend on you being able to 432 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: like tell someone to meet you at a particular time, 433 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: so you end up not scheduling the catch up at 434 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: all because you're like, I've got two hours, but just 435 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: when is that two hours? Unless they live around the 436 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: corner from you and also work the same hours as you, 437 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: it's like really really difficult. 438 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: So logistically I feel like, is that's that's really hard. 439 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: But I've honestly like such a dramatic change, and for 440 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: someone who's like traditionally been quite a control freak and 441 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: certainty loving person, it has just been such a natural, enjoyable, 442 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: like I just live. 443 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: To be his mum. It has been. 444 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: I've enjoyed it so much, even the really hard bits, 445 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: I've just felt like it surprised me. I thought I 446 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: would find it harder. 447 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 3: You were so strong. No butter. Also, but you've been 448 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: talking a lot about work, which I don't think that 449 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 3: many mums are talking about work at this stage of 450 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 3: you know, post partum life. But how has it been 451 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 3: picking up a couple of jobs. Did you think you 452 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: were going to pick up jobs this early and how 453 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 3: has that been for you? Hm? 454 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: Great question. I haven't covered that as much. I don't 455 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: think great questions. Question, But you haven't asked me these 456 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: questions like I didn't know you were going to ask 457 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: with them. 458 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: So true, it's a. 459 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: Really interesting one I thought. I mean, you guys all 460 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: know the story of leaving corporate. I haven't regretted it 461 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: or missed the corporate structure at all since I left 462 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: like ten years ago. I thought the first time I 463 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: might is now when I don't get structure, maternity leave 464 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: that's paid, that I have the certainty. 465 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: Of going back to a job, all that kind of stuff. 466 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: Interestingly, I haven't experienced that, which I feel incredibly lucky 467 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: for because at least for my personality, I mean, everyone's different. 468 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: I would find taking twelve months off completely and having 469 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: zero and then going back to one hundred percent overnight. 470 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: I would find that really difficult. Whereas I'm so grateful 471 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: that now my work is so flexible that I took 472 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: six weeks off of absolutely no work. I didn't have 473 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: to check my email, I didn't have to do anything. 474 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: I didn't have to look at my phone or know 475 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: what day it was. But when I say I went 476 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: back at six weeks, I mean I went back for 477 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: an hour a week, Like I'm so fortunate that I 478 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: could do an hour of radio, and then the next 479 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: week I did one shoot for the TV show for 480 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: two hours and one radio show for one hour, so 481 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: it was like three. 482 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: Hours a week. 483 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: I didn't go back one hundred percent, and that allowed 484 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 1: me to like dip my toe in the water and 485 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: then ramp up when I felt like I was getting 486 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,479 Speaker 1: a bit more used to leaving him or taking him 487 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: with me or whatever it was. And again so grateful 488 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: that the people I work with were also really flexible 489 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: to that, Like the TV show came to our house 490 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: so we could film at home, and in that way, 491 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: I never sort of have had that big guilt of 492 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: going straight back to an office. You know, I work 493 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: from home, so also wasn't like I had to leave 494 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: him or miss any of his development or anything like that. 495 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: So I feel extremely lucky that. And my husband also 496 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: works from home, and so there's always four hands. We're 497 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: always a teen. There's two of us, so even if 498 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: one of us is working or both of us are working, 499 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: we're in the house together. So none of us had 500 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: to leave Teddy really early, or it's just worked out 501 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,239 Speaker 1: really well that my work identity didn't really have to 502 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: have this long hibernation and then there's really awkward awakening 503 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: where I got really nervous or uncomfortable. That identity has 504 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: just kind of coexisted and stayed there, which also means 505 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: that I haven't experienced the loss of self that I 506 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: think a lot of mums do because I haven't had 507 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: to go all in or all out, which again, not 508 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: everyone can. And I'm incredibly grateful that the people I 509 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: work with have also allowed that to happen. 510 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I honestly think it normalized mums wanting to go 511 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 3: back to work. Because I think you and Chris did 512 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 3: a very similar point. I think she he's got too 513 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 3: under two, but I had Gracie only like four weeks 514 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 3: after you. But even she, similar to you, has like 515 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 3: it's itchy to work or do stuff again. But I 516 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: think at the same time she feels slightly maybe guilty 517 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 3: that she feels that way, like that she doesn't want 518 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 3: to spend every second of her life with a baby. 519 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 3: Or I'm like, you have every right to want to 520 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: work and create and achieve things as well, Like it 521 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 3: doesn't have to completely stop. So I think it's like 522 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: cool to watch two different people navigate that and how 523 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 3: they navigate that. I feel like we should normalize because 524 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of moms want to go back 525 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 3: earlier than maybe the norm is or what the average is. 526 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 3: But some might feel like, oh, you might get a 527 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: bit of backlash, you know, to be like, oh, like 528 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 3: they're gone too early, or or they should have spent 529 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 3: longer with their child or whatever, which I don't think 530 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 3: is ever necessarily fair because there's two, it's a partnership 531 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you know. 532 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: Well, Also, one of the things that has been really 533 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: interesting is sometimes you think that really far along in 534 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: terms of gender equality and traditional roles and women having 535 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: careers and all that kind of thing. You think we 536 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: have come a very very long way, but every now 537 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: and then something happens and you're just. 538 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: Like, are we still there? Like is that really what 539 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 2: we're facing? 540 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: So an amazing woman, Jesse Marshall, who is a founder 541 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 1: and owner of high HQ, an amazing PR firm, who 542 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: I work with often. She's in a little mother's group 543 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: that I have on Instagram where we all had babies 544 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: around similar time and are in a similar industry, which 545 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: really helps. So we kind of all get that we 546 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: have more flexible work arrangements, and a lot of us 547 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: went back earlier than the average woman. Jesse didn't take 548 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: any maternity leave because she owns her own business. 549 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 2: Wow awesome, and. 550 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: You know, in the area I would love to be like, 551 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: don't worry, babe, Like you're not going to get any 552 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: backlash the modern woman whatever. It literally went all over 553 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: the news how much backlash she got for it because 554 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: people were just like, don't you love your baby? You 555 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: love your child, Like, what what do you mean? And 556 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: also the fact that her husband would never ever, like 557 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: ever get that kind of questioning if he went back 558 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: to work straight away, but separate to that, even without 559 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: the gender roles, even like taking all of that out 560 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: of kind of the equation. The biggest thing I've learned 561 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: is like, just shut up, because no parent is the 562 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: same as anyone else, Like everyone's balance. There are some 563 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: people who never want to go back to work or 564 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: weren't working beforehand, and they love that balance. And it's 565 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: just interesting. I've said it before, but the area that 566 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: people feel the most entitled to tell you their advice 567 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: or opinion on your life is parenting. And it's also 568 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: the area where you're probably the most sensitive and the 569 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: most heated. But it's also the area where it really 570 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: is like we always say this in terms of your 571 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: career and your path yay, but in terms of parenting 572 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: even more so, it's like you have to do what 573 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: suits you and your family and your child, and it's 574 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: never going to be the same as anyone else. It's 575 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: so weird how freely people feel like they can comment 576 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: on what everyone else is doing. 577 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like also this stuff probably has been 578 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 3: happening for ages. We just don't have or we just 579 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 3: didn't have the means of social media where you got 580 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: to see into so many people's lives early on, Like 581 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 3: in terms of parenting styles, you know, there's a lot 582 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 3: of people that would have gone to work earlier, a 583 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 3: long time ago, but you just didn't see that. Also, 584 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 3: I feel like people, I don't know why, but people 585 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 3: have so much to say about parenting and a lot 586 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 3: of people don't, let's say they don't have kids. It's 587 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: so strange I find it. 588 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those random areas where people just 589 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: do have this entitlement about their opinion being relevant. And 590 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm so grateful I must say that. Not once in 591 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: this entire journey, I've had heaps of unsolicited advice, and 592 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: that's quite common as well, but I'm so grateful that 593 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: every single piece of unsolicited advice has been given so kindly, Like, yes, 594 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: it's been unsolicited, but often it's been really useful, Like people, 595 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: I have to just say again how grateful I am 596 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: for this audience that everyone has been very Like it's 597 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: been in response to me saying he's having trouble with teething, 598 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: and people have been like, oh please don't no obligation, 599 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: but this was really helpful for me, and you might 600 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: find it at this pharmacy, you know, like people have 601 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: been so kind with their advice, So anyone listening, thank 602 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: you for being so gentle and generous in the way 603 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: that you because it's helpful sometimes, Like, there's nothing bad 604 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: about unsolicited advice if it's given really nicely, but I 605 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: think to some parents it's not given in the most 606 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: pleasant way. 607 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 3: Totally. I think there's a difference between being opinionated or 608 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 3: having opinions on the way you do things, verse saying 609 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 3: something like, oh my child had a similar thing, this 610 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 3: is what we did. Like, I don't find that as 611 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: rude or unsolicited, as just trying to share experiences. They're 612 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 3: trying to be helpful, yeah, trying to share experiences and knowledge, 613 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 3: as opposed to being like I cannot believe you've decided 614 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: to pick up days and you're doing radio. Yeah, then 615 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 3: he's only two weeks or something or whatever it is. 616 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: It's a very different approach and experience going with things. Anyway. 617 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 3: I digress because we don't have that much time. But 618 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 3: I feel like you kind of covered a lot of 619 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 3: the yays of being a mum in your knaze because 620 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 3: your specialty is talking a lot, so there has been. 621 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: Thank you for rating me in because one of the 622 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: things I was really worried about was it becoming my 623 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: entire identity, and I didn't want to turn as much 624 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: as I like, I will defend myself for talking a 625 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: lot about Teddy and parenthood because I've always just shared 626 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: the chapter I'm in on all my platforms, But at 627 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: the same time, I didn't want it to become a 628 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: baby podcast and a baby Instagram either, So I feel 629 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 1: like there's a really nice middle ground, and I'm trying 630 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: not to just talk about my son all the time, 631 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: even though he's the best thing in the entire world 632 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: and perfect, I mean obviously.

And then if you ask me what the criterias, 674 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 3: I wouldn't even vouch it. 675 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 2: I'd be like, I know, looks prettiness. 676 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 3: It looked like a ninety anyway, But no, what have 677 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 3: your favorite moments of the Olympics been so far? 678 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 679 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: I feel like it's one of those Olympics where I 680 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but I'm way more connected 681 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: in with it than I ever have been, like the 682 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: individual athletes and individual stories and even I think what's 683 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: so wholesome about it is that it transcends geography politics. 684 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: People set aside their stuff worldwide and their differences for humanity, 685 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: and it shows the best of humanity, and so I 686 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: have so many and most of them are obviously Ossie centric, 687 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: but there's also quite a few, like, for example, close 688 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: to home, the South Korean and North Korean table tennis 689 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: teams took a selfie on the podium like that is 690 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: unheard of. Their rivalry has been going like it is violent, 691 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: the rivalry that they have. They're not allowed to speak 692 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: to each other kind of thing, but it unites people 693 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: in such a beautiful way. So I think my very 694 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: very favorite highlights have to be Jess Fox, all of 695 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: the Jess Fox, all of the Fox family related highlights, 696 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: because as you guys know, we've had the privilege of 697 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: having Jess on after Tokyo, where she had started on 698 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: this incredible stellar career and has only just continued to 699 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: blow us all out of the water and break records, 700 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: like just yesterday was it. I think she became the 701 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: most successful CANU slalem athlete ever, and I think she's 702 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: won more individual Olympic medals than any other Australian ever 703 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: and even more special than and that, her dad's a commentator, 704 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: her mom is her coach, who also tried to defend 705 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: the same k one title in two Olympics in ninety 706 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: two and ninety six. Her sister is over there making 707 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: her debut in the Olympics this year, and they're French 708 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: competing in France, Like, oh ah, so exciting.
