Join us for a heartfelt and candid chat on this episode of the Mum Era podcast. We kick things off by addressing the often-overlooked pleasantries and dive straight into Olivia's challenging week, which saw her tackling the difficult decision to take away her children's dummies. From humorous trips to Kmart to silent judgments from other parents, Olivia shares her raw and messy experiences, ultimately finding small victories in her parenting journey. The episode paints a vivid picture of the complexities of motherhood, including late nights and the struggle to find comfort for both children and parents. 


We touch on the guilt and exhaustion that comes with managing busy family life. Hear stories about nighttime disruptions, dealing with sick kids, and the adorable yet exhausting antics of toddlers. This conversation offers a relatable reflection on the ups and downs of parenting, highlighting the resilience and resourcefulness required to cope with the demands of raising young children. 


We also explore lighter topics, such as our fashion preferences and the impact of motherhood on our identity. From the challenges of parenting in small homes to managing unexpected grey hairs and debating footwear styles, we share candid moments and relatable anecdotes. Our discussion shifts to the joys and trials of kids' television preferences, the excitement of upcoming concerts, and creative meal ideas for picky eaters. Through it all, we emphasise the importance of community and connection, aiming to provide a supportive and understanding space for all parents.
