The Careers and Cartwheels Podcast

Welcome to Careers & Cartwheels — the podcast where two mums with two very different lifestyles talk about the chaos, joys, and honest truths of motherhood. One of us is juggling a career, kids, and home life. The other has left the workforce to stay at home, and now homeschooling while running a busy household. Our lives may look different, but we’re both doing the same thing every mum is doing: the mum juggle. Each episode we dive into real conversations about family, identity, balance (or lack of it!), and everything in between. We share laughs, lessons, and the messy, beautiful reality of motherhood — so you’ll always leave feeling a little less alone and a little more supported. Whether you’re packing a lunchbox for school or setting up a homeschool activity, there’s a seat for you here. And if you want even more support, join our Facebook Group - Careers & Cartwheels Jugging Mums to share and connect with other mums just like you Listen, laugh, and cartwheel your way through motherhood with us! — Zana & Pam
