Through candid reflections, Althea shares how @mum.and.bubba became a space for genuine storytelling not picture-perfect posts. She talks about finding joy in the simple things, choosing collaborations that feel real, and showing up online as both a creator and a mum. For her, authenticity isn’t a strategy, it’s a way to stay grounded while navigating the noise of social media.
Their conversation explores what it means to nurture creativity in a child and why the arts matter more than ever. From live theatre to storytime at home, Althea believes that imagination builds empathy and that every performance, every book, every melody helps children see the world with wonder.
She shares how Melbourne’s vibrant arts scene has become part of her family’s rhythm, turning weekends into moments of laughter, curiosity, and connection.
At its heart, The Mum and Bubba Episode is about time, the time we give, the moments we make, and the love we model. Althea reflects on how her daughter taught her to slow down, have fun, and lead with kindness, lessons that have shaped both her parenting and her platform.
Honest, tender, and full of warmth, this episode celebrates creativity, motherhood, and the stories that make us who we are.
