Whatever it is, it's how we're designed as homo sapiens- to compare ourselves to others. It's how we know we belong right?

From Trumpism's that will have you reaching for a sick bag, to golf pro's 'not so pro' moments; it's that buzz word toxic masculinity that's got us all talking, and wondering if there really is any hope for a misogynistic free future.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In a world that's quickly changing as fast as an Instagram story, it's hard to keep up with what we should and shouldn't be doing regarding social mores.  From restaurant faux pas to dating etiquette, there's a plethora of opportunities to really stuff things if you're not quite sure how to act in any given situation. Let's face it, we've all been there, done that.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

All of us have moments of sheer awkwardness, whether it's saying weird things in front of your dermatologist, being unaware of that eye goop you had the whole time you were chatting to the hot neighbour, or simply having a brain glitch at the checkout and forgetting the word for 'zucchini', we've all experience social anxiety in some form or another.  Shanelle and Tamara share their stories and laugh wholeheartedly at others as well.  Hosted on Acast.

Where technology in our lives is super helpful, it's also the bane of our existence. Case in point:  how often have you aggressively unplugged Google home because she just didn't understand your request? Have you accidentally texted the person you were actually gossiping about? And can you even remember your password for your Netflix account?  We've all done it, all been there. But can technology really be in our friendship group? Or do we cast it off as the mean girl we're eager to take down? Shanelle and Tamara answer none of these questions, but in their classic style aim to keep you entertained on the subject nonetheless.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode explores some fabulous options for self-care and taking some time out just for you. Whether it's getting away with girlfriends for the weekend, lapping up the hairdressers head massage at the basin, or getting a much needed compliment that has you flying high for the rest of the day, it's all stuff we need to do and when we do - it’s oooh!

Annie and Yvonne wax lyrical about their daughters; times there were near misses, a stroll down memory lane and moments they'd sometimes wished they'd forgotten. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Imagine this, you've floated into your bathroom, shut the door, disrobed from the waist down, and drawn breath for the first time in what seems like hours. All is well- that is until the dog, cat, husband, kids and family guinea pig slam down the door demanding you find their socks, jocks or Barbie doll this instant and it's all over red rover. Heading to the toilet can fill us with anxiety; whether it's a public toilet where your kids are licking the sink, or you're 'dropping the kids off at the pool' and you're ferociously interrupted. Yep, who said pooping was easy? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The gals get honest about what we really hate about being women. We know we can change the world one hair at a time, if we only stopped shaving them. But do we really want to? More often than not, we're all happy to jump on the bandwagon of feminism when it comes to gender equality due to impacts on our freedom of movement, wages and well being. There is however, little admission  of those little things we find exhausting in order to remain younger, more attractive, pimple-less and hair free.  Hosted on Acast.

From Disney to British TV, the Eighties and Nineties brought us some of the best children's television we'll never forget. It's the kind of nostalgia we love to look back on, and hope our kids do the same thing. Or do we? MABN give you some gob smacking examples of moments in kids television- Rugrats, The Jetsons, Pepper Pig- where sexual innuendo, racism and misogyny are too hard to ignore. It's the end of Season 5, but hang around and the ladies will be back with a roaring Season 6 very soon...  Hosted on Acast.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Love them or hate them, kids parties provide us with stress on multiple levels. From the anxiety of parents staying for a dose of cream brie, Prosecco and awkward chats, to the sheer horror of present assembly with our without batteries, it's surprising we put ourselves through the party wringer each and every year. But at the end of the day the kids are happy, and isn't that what it's all about? ...and to gift or re-gift- that, is the question.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week MABN listeners share their period horror stories as the ladies discuss the joys of tampons and menstrual cups. Shanelle and Tamara may even give you a rendition of the ‘Rag Time Blues‘, surely it’s a song we should all be singing. Let’s start sharing and talking about our periods and we’ll be one step closer to removing the shame that we all unnecessarily carry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

These three spill the tea on their parents, from the lies they told us as kids to catching them in the act, and of course their ageing idiosyncrasies-they cover it all. Strap in for this one, it’s a hoot!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It might be a day you love, dislike, find stressful; one that makes you teary, anxious or just damned right entitled. However you might perceive the day, it means something different to each one of us.  MABN talk shitty gifts, shitty kids and receive a visit from the infamous pair Rhonda and Raylene. Bless!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So here’s the thing about being a mum, you’re constantly- 'MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!!'- being interrupted. Whether it's your kids, partner or your phone, it's an uphill battle you'll never win (until the kids are at least, well, let's say, 21?)This episodes looks at all the moments we're trying to preserve without  being hijacked. As women our DNA provides the court on which we find ourselves pivoting in order to keep on top of all the things in our lives.  Now grab a wine, run that bath and put on those headphones- you might just get a good 5 minutes in...  Hosted on Acast.

Just imagine- you're at your favourite eating spot, the sun's shining, you're with your family (bless 'em) and the world is good, until...yep, little Suzie has spilled the first drink of the evening, the twins have  knocked over the menu board  and the youngest is about to launch themselves off the table like a sugar induced superman. Ah, the serenity. We need to feed our children (there's your first hot tip), but when it comes to meal time we just can't win. Shanelle and Tamara wax lyrical about these moments with our families that are an inevitable hot mess.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Have you stabbed yourself in the eye with the mascara wand by accident on a number of occasions? Jumped into a drop squat like a baseball catcher to stretch either new or freshly washed jeans? Do you wear the same bra for longer than the suggested time because it looks clean and smells fine? And lastly, what about holding your boobs when you run down the stairs?Shanelle and Tamara discuss the above and plenty more in the hope you’ll jump on the band wagon and admit some of the things that you do too! Let’s face it, men probably have no idea about some of the idiosyncrasies women have.  No matter where you are in the world, you'll find you are more like some of your fellow non-biological sisters than you may think!   Hosted on Acast.

Or your innocent little one drinking the whole bottle of bubble blowing solution, whilst you took a shower. The list is never ending what these heart stoppers will get themselves into!Shanelle and Tamara share their own moments and those of other mums too, when things could have been an utter disaster, but the calm was restored, and our loveable rogues are all ok.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Every year we wonder why we bother setting goals, making plans, breaking habits, when it inevitably turns to sh%$ after January 14th. With the  global pandemic chomping at our heels it's especially hard; how do we plan for world domination when we don't even know if our kids will be going to school next week? Shanelle and Tamara discuss the 'Top 20 resolutions for Tired Mum's' thanks to our most helpful advice columnist- Google.  Hosted on Acast.

It's the most wonderful time of year! (Or so they say). Between juggling family festivities, delegating food prep or avoiding the dodgy Uncle it's the kind of mayhem we secretly love. And why? Because of the children. If the Elf on the Shelf hasn't got you by the balls yet, then wait a few years and join the throng of parents that are hastily spinning their endless web of lies to create the perfect Christmas magic for their beloved families.

So often our diligence to provide for our family, work and home life isn't rewarded how we'd like. Escaping our reality for 8 minutes when you’ve got no s##ts left to give, is not only grossly underrated but a damn requirement! This episode discusses those moments in which we find ourselves, but are quickly reminded by those around us i.e. kids, family, (rearview mirrors) of the hamster wheel on which we're spinning. Shanelle waxes lyrical about the struggles of having a bath, and Tamara  brags about that one time she upstaged Michael Buble.WARNING: we over share about periods a little bit... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shan and Tam, interview spiritual energy healer Maria Clarke about how to work out if you’re little one has the sixth sense, and the best way to nurture and help them understand it. A common belief the world over is that children are naturally more connected to the spirit realm. We need to discuss things that are essential to keeping these children happy and healthy, and how to avoid pitfalls that could spoil their special gifts.A child's world is filled with extraordinary things and Psychic gifts are present at an incredibly tender age. Does any of the following sound like your little one? Having an overwhelming fear of the dark, sensitive, night terrors and vivid dreams, being affected by emotional energies around them, reports of imaginary friends or maybe even a brief conversation with a loved one who is no longer here?Discussed is also how we can soul search to find our purpose outside of motherhood; “who am I and what do I want to do with my life?”  Travel the spiritual super highway and find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s always great fun when kids speak their truth loudly out it public for the masses to hear. How they piece it all together in their little minds and then blurt it out, often leaves us with raised eyebrows and great content for that next coffee catch up. Shanelle and Tamara interview a bunch of pint sized cuties (including their own!) to find out exactly what they are thinking!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In parenthood there is certainly no ‘one size fits all’ however, some things are so left of centre that they cause an adverse reaction and our immediate response is - ‘There is no way I’d do that!!'. On the flip side, when we share some idiosyncrasies with others (like swaying an invisible baby in the supermarket line when you hear another child cry), it's funny to admit, we're all weirdos in our own unique and wonderful ways. Shan and Tam take a deep dive into some of the whacky things our mothers were told when they were pregnant and also how parenting differs in other countries. No judgements here, but it’s always fun to show some comparisons and maybe even some relate-ability!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

These are just some of the ‘running’ jokes that women have heard in abundance over the years. We laugh together and then awkwardly smirk because it's something that can cause serious embarrassment. No wonder these areas need help getting back into shape because pregnancy and childbirth are no doubt the most strenuous task our bodies will ever go through.Shan and Tam chat to Women’s Health Physio and Pelvic Floor expert Kath Baquie from ‘Fitnest Mama’ in Melbourne about all things pelvic floor, including at home stress tests and tips for the guys too….Yep it’s not just the ladies that struggle in this department! Kath brings a wealth of knowledge to a subject that is often shamefully ignored because it's out of site and out of mind. Shan and Tam doing their best to help change the world one pelvic floor at a time.

'Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' said every kid  5 minutes into the holiday journey. From bad blow up mattresses, packing the car, travel snack tips, disciplining your kids in front of your friends, and weird time outs in weird corners, this episode covers it all. You'll hear why Tamara's hating on cheese platters, Ollie has a penchant for cat food, and how to get free stuff at a hotel. Keep an ear out for Shanelle's hot tip on how to look busy for the post holiday clean up without actually lifting a finger (she's really good at it), whilst Tamara gets to be a lesbian for an hour.  It's jam packed with good holiday fun!  Hosted on Acast.

Nowadays, whether it's inflating your breasts, filling those stress lines or adding some puff to your smackeroos, cosmetic enhancement is as accessible as grabbing a burger at your local drive through. But if you haven't gone down that road yet, perhaps you've considered the options. Shanelle and Tamara discuss the 'do you or don't you' of  tweaking yourself, from learning to love the bodies we have, to the social judgement's we face if we choose the path of self improvement.  Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever have those moments where your brain fog is so bad? You were positive you didn't have those socks on before you got in the shower? Or perhaps you've driven 6  blocks only to realise your 5 year old is sitting next to you in the passenger seat. Eeep…Yep!!This episode we hear from you - our sublime MABN listeners who have shared their Mumnesia mis-haps with us. A hilarious montage of moments from mothers who've experienced/are still in the throws of,  pregnancy or post-baby mum brain. Trust us on this one - we're still laughing.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We solemnly swear we'll never be that parent, but if you aren't already, it's coming baby. Perhaps it's something  in our DNA, a genetic throwback from our caveman ancestors that instills a scary kinda competitiveness that sees us hurling meat pies at the floor and obscenities at poor Timmy who didn't quite make that goal.  Whether you're a passionate parent of a budding dancer or a  future Olympic discus thrower, supporting our children to win win win is clearly in our blood. But should we apologise for it? Discuss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lockdowns have given us a lot of things; a chance to be with the loved ones we previously never had time for, the beauty of reflection in a world ravaged by a seemingly never ending pandemic, and a chance to tackle those stubborn in-grown hairs we've been eyeing off for the last 6 months. But home schooling our kids is definitely one of those beasts we can add to the bad list along with masks, loss of individual liberties and Zoom meetings.  This episode we celebrate all teachers far and wide for doing a job  we clearly have no training for. From pre-school to high school and everything in between, we endeavour to guide our children through their yearly curriculum with or without our heads screwed on.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We know our partners, but do we really know what they are thinking?!!? This is a chance to jump inside their heads and get the low down on Dad guilt..is it a thing? What about self-care? How many times a week is a good amount of sex, and what do they imagine child birth is really like? Do they just have that caveman mentality with a side of Netflix and golf! It's time to open that dad book once and for all. All cards are on the table... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just for fun this episode Shanelle and Tamara uncover the sometimes shocking, sometimes debauched history behind the rhymes you've grown up on and have now passed on to your children.  Each has a lesson to be learned or a warning to be heeded; who really was Mother Hubbard? What's with Peter and his pumpkins? And why are silverbells and cockleshells something to be feared? Motherhood a Beautiful Nightmare shed light on them all. Watch out, it's a shocker! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode we chat about the limits our bodies afford us after having kids and how this impacts sexy times for you and your partner. We're talking feeling sexy when you're breast feeding,  applauding your wobbly bits, and how the hell you get your vagina back into gear when all it wants to do is shut up shop. Let's get freaky ladies! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shanelle and Tamara share their 'Sh!t Mum' moments in the hope that you can feel a little better about your own. Why do we love them soooo much yet want to return them from whence they came, all at the same time? Yes it's confusing, and no amount of 'child rearing' non-fiction will give you a definitive answer.  It's survival of the fittest, and no one is winning.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you have this one under control you're onto something mum, but for most of us we're multi-tasking like an octopus whilst suppressing our anxiety for the most part. Cornflakes or toast? Make up your bloody mind! If packing a lunch, finding a missing left shoe or avoiding death-by-school crossing gets your knickers in a twist (or did you forget to put those on??), then we're hearing you loud and clear.Let's get this one off our chest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

That emergency biscuit or lolly in your bag is your secret bribery weapon to ensure your kids are on their best behaviour. Where would we all be without the helpful tool that is ‘bribery’. We constantly battle with the fine line between supporting your child to excel and the continual push for extra curricular activities because they asked for it (let's face it, you paid for the term and now they hate ballet/tennis/karate/gymnastics...)Strap yourselves in, this episode covers all of the above and more!   Hosted on Acast.

So you've given birth, but it's all good, you've just put Xena the Warrior Princess to shame with your heroic efforts.

We all face low points throughout our life journey, and just like Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ lying in poppy fields, it’s your Judy’s that help you up and remind you of who you are and what you’re capable of. We all need those people. The best Judy’s we collect in this lifetime are the key to us winning at the game that is motherhood. It's the roller coaster of emotions which are pure bliss and joy, teamed with loneliness and exhaustion. It’s all there, tied up in one bag for us and our Judy’s to tackle head on.   Hosted on Acast.

Making time for our partners can quite often have the least reserves for. It's not deliberate, but far out, the proverbial plates are spinning above us at a million miles an hour! Whether it be feeling misunderstood by your partner now that you’re a mum (the stay-at-home mum VS the go- to- work- significant other) or justifying what you do all day. Shan and Tam discuss love languages and how they play a role in our ever evolving  relationships. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We throw everything we’ve got at the love job that is motherhood, but what we really need  is a chance to let off some steam. The all important self-care gets put on the back burner whilst we power on through our ‘to do’ lists with one eye open in the hope of recharging from the sleep we lost the night before. Taking care of our mental health as mothers is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves AND our children. We know we need it. So, how do we do it?  Hosted on Acast.

We feel guilty when we have a moment of self-preservation that allows us to fill our mum cups. Whether it’s having a night out with friends, going to the gym, screaming at your child  because they're driving you up the wall, only to  glance at their sweet face on your screen saver to feel that major overflow of guilt. Don’t even get us started when the childcare worker has to peel your child off of your leg in a flood of tears. We get it and we feel you…put your ear buds in and let’s talk it through. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

 We judge ourselves, we judge others, and you’ve gotta love the older generation judging us ‘new age’ mums. Enough of the people pleasing right!! From telling your kids off in public, to boys playing with dolls prams and the unnecessary desire to have that unrealistic level of perfection. Who hasn’t handed their child a piece of technology to keep them occupied? Only to feel those judgy eyes upon you, asking if your kid has had too much screen time.Learn how to ‘unsubscribe’ to those unhelpful thoughts and comments driving your daily narrative.

The incidental things that we are genuinely thrilled about now, are far from what would have excited us before. The desperation for an uninterrupted hangover or your kids eating a healthy meal you prepared without a fuss. Did you nail your bucket list of things to do before kids came along? Staying up past midnight basically means you're a Rockstar and a solo car journey without Frozen, The Wiggles or a Disney soundtrack is a welcomed relief.  Sound like you mama? Hosted on Acast.
