Full Timers Club

You can love your child more than you have ever loved anything in your entire life and find it really, really hard at the same time. You can not want to be apart from your baby for a single second and also be desperately counting down to bedtime.

This week we are introducing two words that most mothers have never heard but that we think are going to completely change the way you see yourself.

The first is matrescence which is the psy...

We are not tech people. We are not AI experts. We are two full time working mums who stumbled onto a few things that have genuinely changed how we manage our lives and we could not keep them to ourselves.

This week it is just the two of us, and we are getting practical. From managing the mental load to planning holidays, drafting the emails you have been putting off and building routines that actually stick, we are walking through t...

There has never been more parenting advice, more research or more content available to us than right now. And yet parents feel more lost, more overwhelmed and more judged than ever before.

We are back with Gen Muir this week and we are asking the question nobody really wants to answer. Are we actually set up to fail?

We get into why the information overload is quietly eroding our instincts, what good enough parenting actually means a...

Quick heads up - this one gets spicy so pop your headphones in if little ears are around.

We need to talk about romantasy. The dragons, the fae courts, the slow burn romance and yes, the spice. Because what started as a BookTok trend has quietly become a $600 million publishing phenomenon, and the people driving it? Tired, high-responsibility women. Mums. Us.

This week Ellie finally converts Pen to ACOTAR (A Court of Thorns and Rose...

Communication is something most of us take for granted. But for so many children and families, being understood, and understanding the world around them, requires tools, support and a whole lot of patience.

This week we sit down with Jenn Winstone, Speech Therapist and co-founder of MyComms, for a conversation every parent needs to hear. We talk about why communication doesn't come easily for everyone, what it looks like when a chil...

We have all been there; the moment your child loses it and somewhere in the chaos, you lose it too.

In this episode, we sit down with Gen Muir - Parent Educator - for one of the most honest conversations we have had on the podcast.

We get into what is actually happening in a child's brain during a meltdown, why our kids' big feelings so often trigger our own, and what mum rage really is and where it comes from. We also talk about how...

Can you believe we are already halfway through 2026? 🤯

This week it's just the two of us. No guests, no agenda. Just an honest and open check in on how the first six months of the year have actually gone. The highs, the lows and everything in between.

We revisit our words of the year, get real about where we have shown up and where we have fallen short, and talk about the moments that have quietly shaped us more than we expected.

Returning to work after having a baby is one of the most emotionally complex things a mother will ever do. And yet somehow, we’re expected to just get on with it. 🤍

This week we sit down with Lou Wilson from The Village for a conversation that is long overdue. We talk about what it really feels like to walk back into the workplace as a mum. The guilt, the identity shift, the juggle that never quite feels balanced.

We get into ...

Nobody tells you that postpartum recovery isn’t linear. That it isn’t quick. And that what you see online is almost never the full picture.

We sat down with Tamara Gerdis from Physio Down Under and she is here to bust every myth you’ve ever been told about bouncing back after a baby.

We talk about what’s actually happening in your body after birth, what recovery really looks like, what the red flags are that ...

Leaking when you laugh? Pain you’ve just learned to live with? Feeling like your body hasn’t quite been yours since having a baby? You are not alone and more importantly, you don’t have to just accept it.

We sat down with women’s health physio Tamara from Physio Down Under for an honest, no-filter conversation about pelvic floor health. From what’s actually normal postpartum, to the signs you should ne...

Pinterest says "Slow Motherhood" is trending up by 310%. Our first instinct? Ehhhhh, no thanks. We’re tired. 🙄

It’s easy to look at the aesthetic - the intentional walks, the linen pants, the sourdough - and feel like it’s just another stick to beat working mums with. But what if "Slow Motherhood" isn't about perfection? What if it's actually about the death of the overscheduled kid?

So this week we're getting into...

The juggle isn’t just logistics, it’s emotional. It’s carrying the mental load of work, motherhood, relationships and everyday life, while constantly feeling like you could be doing more.

In this episode, we talk openly about what balance actually looks like for us in this season of life, the balls that inevitably drop, and the small things helping us survive the chaos a little better.

Because maybe the goal isn&rsq...

This week, we sit down with Zoe, the co-founder of longevity nutrition company, For Youth. It’s a conversation filled with laughs and a few honest truth bombs.

We talk about what it really means to love what you do, the spark (and chaos) of starting something from scratch, and why success doesn’t always look the way we’ve been taught. Zoe shares her journey of backing herself, building something she’s genuine...

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most important relationships in our lives, female friendships. From the friends who see us through every season to the ones who show up when life feels heavy, these connections can shape us in powerful ways.

We chat about why friendships matter so much, especially through motherhood, marriage, and the everyday juggle of being a full-time woman. We discuss how friendships change o...

Hi, this is Ellie. And I want to first say thank you for your love and support. This week’s episode is a really personal one.

Phoebe turns 6 months this week, and while we’re in such a different place now, those early weeks and months were some of the hardest we’ve been through. It wasn’t the start we expected, and there were moments that felt incredibly overwhelming, completely uncertain, and just really hea...

Dr Biff is back and this episode is a cracker!

We’re joined by Dr Laura Biffin from River Valley Doctors for a refreshingly honest, no-awkward-questions-off-limits chat about contraception.

Whether you’re choosing contraception before babies, re-thinking it after babies, feeling confused about what’s changed since you were last on the pill, or even starting to think ahead for your teenage daughters - this conversati...

Going back to work after maternity leave can feel big with one child… let alone three.

In this week’s episode, Ellie shares the very real emotions she’s sitting with as she prepares to return to full-time work next month with a 4-year-old, a 2-year-old and a baby not yet six months old.

It’s a classic “two things can be true” season - excitement and anxiety, guilt and gratitude, ambition and overw...
