The Psychology Sisters

In this mini episode, we’re giving you the full rundown on the day we’ve been quietly (and not so quietly 😂) pouring our hearts into.

On Friday 23 October at Bondi Beach, we’re taking the conversations from our Why Did Nobody Tell Me This? podcast series out of your headphones and into a room full of women.

It’s about you, the woman who became a mum.

We’re talking about the maternal brain and...

This episode welcomes Emily Hanlon aka The Playful Psychologist - clinical psychologist, mum and fellow ADHDer for a conversation about what happens when ADHD meets motherhood.

We unpack what it is about motherhood that can suddenly expose an ADHD brain that seemed to be coping perfectly well before.

Maybe motherhood didn’t suddenly make your ADHD “worse", motherhood came for all the systems that were helping you ...

What happens when the body you’ve spent your whole life knowing becomes unfamiliar to you?

Then we place that experience inside a culture telling women that the successful outcome of pregnancy is to make it look like pregnancy never happened.

Why Did Nobody Tell Me I Might Not Recognise My Body? 

We unpack how you can feel completely in awe of what your body has done and still feel uncomfortable living in it. Gratitude ...

What happens when going back to work .... feels like a break?

You drink a coffee while it’s still hot. You finish a thought without being interrupted. People ask your opinion about something that has absolutely nothing to do with sleep schedules. You use parts of your brain you were starting to wonder still existed.
And then comes the guilt. Shouldn’t I want to be home?
Why does this feel easier than being with...

One of the biggest surprises of motherhood wasn’t just how much my life changed… it was how much my friendships changed. 

How can millions of women be becoming mothers at exactly the same time… and yet so many describe feeling lonelier than they’ve ever felt?

In the wise words of Kat in this episode "friendships are tough man"

The friendship grief no one talks about.

We explore the stories we tell our...

Why Did Nobody Tell Me I’d Resent My Partner?

Nobody is particularly surprised that having a baby is hard.

But we’re often completely unprepared for what becoming parents can do to our relationship.

Suddenly the person you love is chewing too loudly. Sleeping too peacefully. Taking suspiciously long showers. And asking “What can I do to help?” somehow makes you want to launch something across the room.

In Episod...

We knew motherhood would change our lives.
We knew there would be less sleep, more responsibility and a tiny human who suddenly needed us for… well, everything.
But nobody really prepared us for how much we would change too.

In episode two of Why Did Nobody Tell Me This?, we’re talking about what actually happens to us when we become mothers. To our brains, our bodies, our nervous systems, our identities, ...

We’re back! And this time, we have a whole series dedicated to peeling back the curtain on motherhood.

This isn’t a “how to raise children” series. It’s a series about what happens to the woman raising them.

The things that change in our brains, our bodies, our relationships, our friendships, our identities and our sense of self.

The things we weren’t prepared for. The things we thought were only ha...

Our last poddy of 2025.

As the year draws to a close, we’re slowing things down and reflecting, not with pressure, resolutions, or tidy endings, but with honesty, tenderness, and care.


In this episode, we talk about what 2025 has asked of us, what we’re proud of, and what we’re gently leaving behind as we step into a new year. We share what this year has taught us about ourselves, the moments that shaped...

Are we genuinely getting better at setting boundaries… or are we using the language of boundaries to avoid discomfort, depth, and accountability?

In this episode, we dive into the cultural shift happening inside modern friendships where self-protection is celebrated, but sometimes at the cost of connection.

We explore why “inconvenience is the cost of community,” how our capacity to tolerate discomfort ...

Howdy psychology gang! Welcome back to a deep dive.

Estrangement is one of the most painful and least understood experiences we can go through. It’s a loss without a funeral, a grief that doesn’t receive casseroles, community support, or cultural acknowledgement. 

In this deep dive, we unpack the complex psychology of estrangement through an attachment, trauma and psychodynamic lens.

We explore:

• What ambigu...

Welcome back to The Psychology Mama’s

Today, we’re diving into something that so many mothers quietly carry, the kind of exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix. The kind that seeps into your bones and makes you feel like you’re disappearing inside the love you’re giving.

Howdy friends! Welcome back for another deep dive.

We will be discussing the lesser known attachment style today, around 5% of people have a disorganised attachment. 

A disorganised attachment is an adaptation that stems from childhood trauma, it’s like having a compass that points north and south at the same time. Every step toward love feels like danger, and every step away feels like loss.

This attachment style begins in...

– What is Secure Attachment? 

A securely attached child is free to explore the environment, confident that the caregiver will be available and responsive if needed.

Secure attachment is not about being perfect; it’s about being present, attuned, and repairing when things go wrong

Attachment is a basis for a child’s health. Nourishing close secure attac...
