Mothering can be an inspired journey to our most glittering, authentic, passionate, creative and connected selves. Through the mirror offered to us by our children, we are taken to every hurt, unmet need, and also every joy and excitement we’ve ever experienced. We want every woman and mother to give themselves and those around them the compassion, love and healing they so readily offer their children, but rarely allow themselves. Journey with us as we discuss the many layers of being a mother today, where we have come from and where we want to go. Learn tools to connect with yourself, offer compassion to those parts we’d rather deny and get back in love with yourself, motherhood and who you are as a feminine woman.
In this episode, we discuss what to do when your child slams the brakes on; from “I’m not going to school” to daily battles over getting dressed or leaving the house. We explore how to stay grounded when their storms threaten to pull you in, how to use play and connection to move through resistance, and why your regulation is the most powerful parenting tool you have. We unpack what happens in your body when you feel backed into a ...
NTM 536: Redefining the Fertility Journey: let’s discuss infertility with fertility coach Liz Walton
In this episode, Julie sits down with Fertility Coach Liz Walton to redefine what fertility really means. Liz, founder of the Australian Fertility Summit, brings her own lived experience - ten years of “failed” IVF rounds, deep personal healing, and eventually conceiving her daughter naturally at 46 - to shine light on what so many women long for but rarely hear: that fertility isn’t just medical. It’s emotional, relational, spirit...
What really turns mothers on isn’t roses or lingerie….it’s partnership. It’s not having to carry everything alone, not having to think about one more thing, not feeling swallowed up by kids and needs with no solo time left. In this episode we explore why sharing the load is the ultimate aphrodisiac, how appreciation and acknowledgement fuel intimacy, and why true partnership is so much sexier than performative help. When you feel l...
Bridget is a full-time working mother navigating the reality of decreased time and increased pressure — which demands a new level of discernment about what can and can’t be held. In this episode, we explore how to protect your energy, bring more equity into your relationship, and create room for your dreams without over-functioning to keep the peace. We talk about holding your partner accountable, building flexible rhythms that sup...
So many of us step into business with huge hearts and deep skills, then crash into the reality of motherhood — where hustle culture doesn’t work and “balance” is a myth. In this episode we explore what it really takes to grow your business as an intentional mother: creating rhythms that fit your season of life, using small windows of time to move the needle, building in alignment with your values (not someone else’s), and letting b...
This episode is raw, tear-filled, and honest as Julie shares what it was actually like to say goodbye to Heath as he left for the United States — the pride, the ache, and the messy middle. We walk through the good, the bad, the ugly, the learning, and the letting go. It’s matrescence at the other end of parenting, when identity is cleaved and you gather the pieces to remake yourself, and when love and intimacy are invited to mature...
Sometimes, being in relationship feels heavier than doing it all on your own.
In this episode, Julie shares a raw revelation: while solo parenting her girls, managing sport schedules, interstate travel, and two national award wins — she realised that, in some ways, it actually felt easier than being in partnership.
We unpack why long-term relationships can feel harder than parenting solo, what this means for intim...
Your relationship is a living mirror — not just of your partner, but of the parts of yourself you’ve hidden, avoided, or outgrown. In this episode, we explore the conscious relational tools that don’t just keep your love alive, but help you grow as an individual within it. Because love isn’t something that just happens — it’s something we do, on purpose.
We’ll unpack how high-functioning burnout, stress, and survival mode ...
Everything you have right now was once a dream — the relationship, the home, the family, the love. But when life becomes a checklist and connection becomes transactional, we forget what we once longed for.
In this episode, we take you inside the three relationship habits we see drop off the most in long-term love — and why they’re the very glue that keeps desire, appreciation, and intimacy alive. This is your reminder that...
In this episode, we explore celebration as a radical act of receiving; not just balloons and bubbly, but a mirror for how safe you feel to be seen, acknowledged, and loved.
We unpack why so many of us deflect recognition or wait for others to validate what we struggle to honour in ourselves, and how that can leave us quietly starving for emotional nourishment.
We talk about how to host gatherings that feel like lo...
In this episode, we unpack the complex, emotionally loaded space where your child’s bids for connection meet your very real, very human need for separation.
Whether it's bedtime, the end of a long day, or another moment when you feel like they’re clawing at your leg and you just have to get away, we go deep into the internal and external pressures that make this one of the most painful tensions in motherhood.
Life moves fast…and if you’re not careful, it’ll pass by in a blur. In this deeply heartfelt episode, we share how presence is what makes a moment last, and how the simple act of breathing it in can transform the ordinary into the unforgettable.
Drawing on a powerful message from a Honey Club member, this episode is a call back to what truly matters; not the roles we play, but the memories we feel.
This one is for the ...
What happens when your heart is at home, but your body’s at work — or when your head’s in the spreadsheet but your child’s in tears at daycare drop-off?
In this episode, we explore the inner tension so many mothers feel between being present, connected parents and being purposeful, ambitious humans doing meaningful work in the world. It’s not just about time management — it’s about the deep, identity-level stretch of holdi...
So many couples find themselves tangled in the same painful dance: pressure, predictability, and the slow death of desire.
In this episode, we’re unpacking why your sex life isn’t just about sex - it’s the meeting place of both your worlds. Why men often feel sex as devotion (and rejection like a dagger), why women need connection to even want sex, and how survival mode and arousal simply can’t coexist.
We’ll expl...
What if your capacity wasn’t a measure of your worth? In this episode, we dive deep into motherhood as the ultimate redefinition of capacity — where contraction and expansion dance together, and holding more often comes with the relief of letting go.
We explore the emotional labor mothers invisibly carry, the myth of the perfect mother who endlessly gives, and what happens when over-functioning becomes your normal. Because...
This is the story behind the Instagram post. The truth of what it took of Julie; emotionally, energetically, and relationally - to walk beside her son Heath as he chased a dream that felt impossibly far away at times. From the heartbreaks to the breakthroughs, from holding the vision when he couldn’t, to surrendering control when she desperately wanted to fix things.
This episode is a raw, tender, and deeply honest look at...

This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about returning to you.

You’ll hear why saying no is an act of power, how to tell the differenc...
What if your presence was enough? In this episode, we unpack the beauty and bravery of showing up; not perfectly, but mindfully, especially on the days that stretch you thin. You’ll hear why your nervous system is your parenting compass, how tiny moments of attunement matter more than constant doing, and why choosing softness is not weakness but a radical act of love. This is for every mother who’s felt touched out, emotionally tap...
