Not Super. Woman

Bec and Zoe recap on the interview the week prior, the impact it’s had on them as individuals, and how they both drew different ideas from their guest and implement changes in the endeavour to change it up, or give it a go. Then there is always a ramble involved (usually by Bec) where they chat about what’s been happening and how they have or haven’t managed their current juggle, in their attempt...

There is always great intrigue and awe when you see someone from afar able to navigate their way out of uni, grow from strength to strength within their passion, and able to combine it with business, and create a life for themselves.

Pilates now goes in hand with wellness, because it ties in so many integral nee...

The amount of times both Bec and Zoe have turned to Dr. Google when their kids were sick, only to panic further as they both didn’t exactly have the answers and most google responses were - “see a doctor as soon as possible, if your child has a fever over 38 degrees “. Now with older children, both Bec and Zoe realise they wasted many hours in emergency for minor illnesses that could of been manag...

As we get older, life, work, family and commitments take the lead on stage, and more often than not, we let our health sit backstage until we have a moment to tend to it, or fathom what’s needing review and in-turn our medical strategy has been based around treatment when sick, rather than prioritising preventative testing and treatment. But when diving further into health, it’s not as simple as p...

Bec and Zoe reflect of their very opposite feelings about Mother’s Day. Zoe hates the fuss, finds it commercial, and to be honest, slightly painful… Where as Bec celebrates it like a work Christmas party she never gets to have! But further to that, they reflect on the fact that Mother’s Day isn’t about a singular person or the specific role, it’s really about the women that have mothered and nurtu...

Bec and Zoe talk briefly on their journey to this point. Fortunate to be well educated, begin careers and start families, they did not realise they would face such an overwhelming struggle in trying to navigate their identity. Who were they?

Anxiety and depression affects up to one in five women, and one in ten men, in the perinatal period (being post birth). A fact provided by PANDA, the Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia Organisation. And a fact that seemingly keeps being kept as a hidden secret from each other, amongst new parents. There seems to be this misconception that it has to be absolutely extreme feelings or a major...

Bec and Zoe chat about how sexpectations can become the elephant in the room in long term relationships.

Bec and Zoe agree they grew up in an era that places an unhealthy value on youth and appearance, but they can’t help the internal struggle with their beliefs in valuing the ageing process, versus their desire to compete with what the media and Instagram portray.
