Nourishing the Mother

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....

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...

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,...

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.

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...

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 thi...

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,...

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....

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...

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 tensio...

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...

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, ident...

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 co...

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 be...

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,...

This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about returni...

If your life feels chaotic, cluttered, or constantly exhausting…it’s not just “life”; its information. In this episode, we unpack how your body, home, and calendar are mirrors of your nervous system (and what they’re trying to tell you). We talk about what it means to stop performing, start listening, and live from truth - not just obligation. You’ll hear why saying no is an act of power, how to t...

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’...

In this tender and deeply personal episode, we share the story of saying goodbye to Julie’s beloved family dog, Ruby, after nearly 16 years. This isn’t just a conversation about losing a pet — it’s a raw and honest look at the wildness of grief, the silence it leaves behind, and what it means to walk through that pain as a parent, while still holding space for your children. We explore the complex...

You’ve been strong. Capable. Getting it done. But somewhere between the doing and the holding-it-all-together… you lost touch with you. You’re tired of performing. You miss feeling. You crave softness — but you don’t know how to stop bracing. Maybe you’ve heard about “the feminine” and thought, what even is that? Is it sexy? Soft? Passive? Woo-woo? Here’s what we want you to know: Coming home to y...

Sure, motherhood is full of love - but let’s be honest, it’s also full of mess, doubt, and moments you didn’t see coming. One of the things that makes it all feel more manageable (and even joyful)? The other mums who show up beside you. The ones who nod without judgment, drop off dinner without asking, or hold space when you’re coming undone. But these friendships aren’t just about venting or shar...

When we first began parenting, there was limited social media and no algorithm flooding us with answers — only books, workshops, blogs, and the occasional playgroup. In many ways, we were completely fringe — walking a path that asked us to discover ourselves through motherhood, not lose ourselves to it. In this episode, we honour the beauty of seeing your child as an extension of yourself — the pr...

Motherhood cracks open a whole new world — and with it, a thousand unseen fractures in our relationships.

What happens when the parts of you that once felt so whole now feel split between boardrooms and bedtime stories?

The ache of being enamoured with your child, while also craving the fulfilment...

This one’s a little edgy. You might feel the sting at first. Maybe even a full-body ‘nope!’. But if you’re growth-oriented, it’ll plant a seed you can’t ignore. Because what if you are the biggest thing standing in the way of the life you say you want? We explore the uncomfortable signs that you’re outgrowing who you’ve been — like the rising gnarkiness at the things you used to love, the quiet bu...
