In this episode of Untidy, Matty peels off her snot-encrusted bathrobe after a week of fever and slips into her hooded ‘pump cover’ instead. She and Hannah embrace the age and stage of life where conversations start with a health round-up and Hannah embarks on a body-wide WOF (if she can remember what she’s doing). The girls answer hard-hitting listener questions and expose the culprit in lasagne crimes, as well as revealing Hannah’s dating pool is in fact, The Bog of Eternal Stench where she shares her struggles to find her sunny pontoon.

In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matty talk to Rebecca Hyde to ‘call a spade, a spade’ about the realities of stepping into the role as a step-parent and undertaking an IVF journey to conceive two children as a “geriatric” mother.  After finding a lack of genuine advice as she embarked on these two journeys towards parenthood, Rebecca wanted to lift the lid on conversations that needed to be had by someone who had spent time on these paths. It’s pragmatic, honest, informative – and as always, gloriously Untidy.  If you enjoy this episode of Untidy, please support the show by subscribing in your podcast app and tapping the ‘+ follow’ button.

In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matty kick things off with a light rant about the overly emotionally charged occasion that is Mother's Day and share their individual "lulls" (to exercise a euphemism to the core). They wonder if we should all just focus on Easter and we discover that NZ's prime minister is finally seeking wise counsel. The update we've all been waiting for of Matty's call to Dr Ben Dentist London is delivered and the clock is ticking on a frigate of fish fillets to be deployed by our woman on the ground in England.

In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matty talk to Steph Campbell, the founder of Clover Ferments about her incredible story to heal her daughter’s extreme food allergies. Steph was forced to undertake 18 months on a total elimination diet whereby she ate only lamb, leek and green beans to keep her daughter out of hospital who reacted dangerously to any other foods Steph ingested whilst breastfeeding. This led Steph on a journey to discover a way to heal her daughter with the support of other mums around the world experiencing similar difficulties. Steph started to use an anaerobic fermentation process to produce tonics that miraculously cured Clover’s intolerances within only one month. From this, Steph developed her business ‘Clover Ferments’ and has been able to help people heal their gut issues and resolve many food intolerances and inflammatory skin conditions. Check out Steph’s amazing story, follow Clover Ferments on Instagram @cloverferments and find them online https://cloverferments.co.nz/.

In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matty take a hot second on a loose tangent before  sharing a rich array of listeners’ changing room horror stories. They cock-a-leg and wheeze-laugh their way through the fanny-flossers, bush-bashers and shirt-cockers while they ponder the flavours and dangers of a thousand bums at the communal sauna.  We take a peek into the wonders of young Matty’s old mind through the lens of her childhood journal and share a book club recommendation, as well as one to avoid in the interests of your mental wellness.  The book we recommend is: 8 Rules of Love by Jay Shetty  If you enjoy this episode of Untidy, the best way you can support us is by subscribing to the show in your podcast app by tapping the ‘+ follow’ button.

In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matty dip a toe into the alleged conspiracies around Kate Middleton’s disappearance and are #concernedforKate. Having blown Sneeze-gate wide open, they elaborate on this topical issue with ‘in-the-field’ research and share listeners’ story submissions.  It’s high time for more poo news and toilet rumours, so, they reminisce about Matty’s heroic poo story from the good old days and share a couple more as well as a voluntary and unprompted listener’s voice note. The girls wonder if anyone’s really got it all together, complete with a full sense of inner-earnestness, or if they’re all just pretending to be grown-ups like they seem to be.

Jo is an experienced therapist, specialising in sex and relationships, addiction, betrayal, and trauma. Jo is dedicated to helping our kids grow up with healthy messaging about sex and relationships. She is also the co-founder of 'Makes Sense', an organisation that aims to raise awareness about gaps in our sexual violence prevention approach and digital media regulation in Aotearoa, New Zealand, as well as lobbying for tighter restrictions from the government. We talk about the juggernaut that is the new porn landscape, and how pornography (often aggressive and violent) is openly accessible to children. We discuss how we are supposed to talk to our kids about what they might see online, as well as protect them from things they can never ‘unsee’. Jo shares practical tips on how to lay the foundations for tricky conversations with your children from an early age so they don’t seem so daunting when they’re older, as well as tips for parents on how to navigate playdates and sleepovers.

In this episode of Untidy, we go behind the scenes of love with Art and Matty as they open up about their story from beginning with The Bachelor to nine years later having three babies and Buster (licking his bum on the chair at the time of recording). We talk about how they've evolved through being in relationship, and what it's like being seen as the 'poster children' for #couplegoals, we solve the conundrum of Valentine's Day, discuss the pressure that children have put on their relationship and how they stay solid through this shaky season, and find out how they deal with conflict and resolution. If you've ever wondered what's real behind the reels, now's your chance to hear Art and Matilda open up in a very honest chat about the realities of marriage.

In this episode of Untidy we talk to an incredible woman that needs one heck on an introduction, Emma Ferris. Emma is a stress and resilience coach and founder of The Breath Effect whose ‘bring me to my knees moment’ can be heard in nail-biting detail on her podcast, ‘Conning the Con’. She is also the host of her second podcast, ‘The Bravery Academy’. We kick things off talking about Emma’s separation and divorce story. Although she and her ex-husband were seen as the ‘poster children’ for managing a conscious separation, Emma talks about the realites of the toll that took on her physically, mentally and emotionally, despite having a positive co-parenting relationship to move forward with.  When Emma began dating again she had her ‘trial by fire’ and was targeted for her high empathy by a psychopathic conman who conned her out of a six-figure amount. Emma talks about how she coped in crisis and how she realised she had a choice either to be a victim in that moment, or to learn how to fight. She shares her wisdom for how to survive, recover, and thrive. Follow Emma on Instagram @thebreatheffect and find out more about her courses, coaching and retreats on her website https://www.thebreatheffect.com/.  The resources we talked about in this episode were: Dr Gabor MatéPlutchik’s Wheel of Emotions If you enjoyed this episode of Untidy, subscribe to the show in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.

In the pettiest episode of Untidy to date, Hannah and Matilda air their irks, quirks, and irrational phobias. There’s airborne orange eaters, wild dogs of Warkworth, bogan bog rolls, and bodily snag hazards. Matilda reminisces on her vegetable revolution and Hannah enjoys the comedic value of the local community Facebook page.

In this episode of Untidy, we talk to Jo Roca, a creative director and working mum of two, for a  raw and candid conversation about navigating the brutality of Hyperemesis Gravidarum during both her pregnancies. Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) affects 2% of pregnant women and is a severe type of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that can require hospitalisation and treatment with IV fluids and anti-nausea medication. Jo gives us an honest insight into what it’s really like living with Hyperemesis Gravidarum in pregnancy. There is very little scientific understanding and social awareness about this condition and Jo takes us through what this harrowing journey is really like from the inside.  As well as talking about the physical, psychological, and emotional impacts of HG, Jo also talks about the impact on her relationships with her husband and first child. She discusses openly what helped, what didn't, how to get through it, and how to support someone you know who is suffering from HG.Follow Jo on Instagram @juanaroca.

In this episode of Untidy, we talk to Dr Joshua W. Pate, a pain scientist, children’s book author, clinician and educator from Sydney, Australia. We talk about the neuroscience of how our brains process pain, what influences our children’s experience of pain, how understanding more about the science of pain can empower us as we parent our children through spontaneous painful events like accidents, to anticipated painful events like, immunisations, language we can use to talk about the complexity of pain, and how we can turn the volume of pain with our kids up or down!

In this episode of Untidy, we talk to Emily Hanlon @theplayfulpsychologist, a child & adolescent clinical psychologist who is all about rethinking our approach to emotions. Emily takes a practical and accessible approach to her work and generously shares her wisdom and humour to her audience online. In this conversation, we wanted to ask every aspect of the age-old parenting questions ... which essentially boils down to wondering if we’re doing it right and if we’re doing enough!    We cover how to know if it’s time to engage a psychologist, how therapy works, highly sensitive kids, living in an anxious world, bringing up kids that like themselves, body positivity and food, balancing play and productivity, building secure attachment, and fussy eaters! There’s a lot more goodness and a whole lot of laughs, too. Emily is real, down-to-earth, and a parent herself.

In this episode of Untidy we talk to former Black Ferns captain and māmā of two, Les Elder. Les was part of the World Cup winning squad in 2017 and later became captain while trying to start a family at the same time. With both her babies conceived by IVF, the process of conception was complicated whilst meeting the rigorous training schedule as a professional rugby player. Les continued training throughout her first pregnancy and returned to her career soon after giving birth. She experienced dangerous complications during her second pregnancy that resulted in emergency surgery.    Les talks to us about how she handled rising into leadership as women’s rugby in Aotearoa New Zealand became professional. She explains how she juggled starting a family, maintaining a healthy relationship, recovering from pregnancy complications and birth with the pressures of performing at the highest level of rugby and continuing her career in sport.    As a working mother that saw Les spend a lot of time away from her young children, she talks about how this felt and how she and her husband, Johnny, reconcile themselves with the choices they have made as a whanau.

In this episode of Untidy, we have a question and answer session with Vedic Meditation teacher, Georgia Vavasour. Georgia answers listeners’ questions such as ‘where do I start with meditation?’ She also delves into the differences between learning from an app and a trained teacher, what to do about feeling constantly overwhelmed, battling brain fog, as well as addressing the common ‘I don’t have time’ mindset around fitting meditation into an already busy life. Georgia goes into the problem of ‘chronic perfectionism’ when it comes to parenting, and how to give yourself grace, while the girls talk about their personal experience with meditation as well and the importance of using all the resources at your disposal to cultivate a healthy body and mind. Follow Georgia on Instagram at @gvmeditation, and check out her website www.gvmeditation.com.

In this episode of Untidy we talk to Helen Bartrom from Positive Births. Helen is a Clinical Hypnotherapist, mum of three, and host of The Positive Birth NZ podcast. She is also the author of ‘Positive Birth in New Zealand: using Relaxation, Hypnobirthing and Mindfulness’. Helen helps women and birthing people feel empowered for their upcoming birth, using hypnobirthing techniques. Matty recently had a session with Helen, so the girls dive into what hypnobirthing actually is, and the common misconceptions around it — i.e., whether it is just a ‘woo-woo’ fad. They discuss the importance of focusing on what you can control in the labour process, and how to let go of the need to control the things you can’t. We delve into the importance of the breath, and how it is used to work with your body to assist the birth process, as well as practical ways your partner can act as a support beam during labour.  The girls also discuss the primal sounds that can occur in birth, why we should embrace the time in a woman’s life where it is socially acceptable to moo like a cow, and why positive birth stories need to be shared far and wide to flip the narrative that childbirth needs to be feared.  Follow Helen on Instagram at @positive_births_nz, and check out her website https://www.positivebirths.co.nz/. Helen does in person sessions in Auckland and Whangārei, as well as online. Helen also does a free Webinar every few months. Find out more via her website. Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Untidy we talk to Dr Sarah McKay. Originally from Christchurch NZ, Sarah is an Oxford University-educated neuroscientist, author, speaker and director of Think Brain's suite of online training programs. Sarah now resides in Sydney with her husband and two boys. We cover a lot of ground in this episode. We delve into the findings from Sarah’s recent book ‘Baby Brain’ - a term often used to describe the perceived cognitive decline a lot of new mums experience. We wanted to know exactly what was going on upstairs after we had our babies… Why were we putting fridge items in the pantry? And why did Hannah forget how to spell her own name after having her son? Sarah unpacks the science behind what actually happens neurologically during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and the research may surprise you! Have we been scammed?!   We talk about the need to re-frame the connotations around ‘baby brain’, and why the term ‘supermum’ needs to be banished from our collective vocabulary.  Follow Sarah on Instagram at @drsarahmckay, and check out her website https://drsarahmckay.com/.

In this episode of Untidy, Hannah’s doing a deep spring clean and nothing is safe from dust bunnies to dating apps. We talk sledgehammer therapy, gym grunting and why emotional outbursts in women make them ‘hysterical’ while men have simply been, ‘pushed too far’. We wonder if we’re making our eldest kids tolerate too much, and if Matty has any right to adopt that ‘hardware store swagger’ if she abandons her botched drawers on the roadside.  Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Untidy we talk to Sean Szeps, host of the popular podcast, ‘Come Out Wherever You Are’, and author of ‘Not Like Other Dads’. As well as a writer, podcaster and content creator, Sean is most well-known for his accidental advocacy, which arose from sharing his journey as a gay dad raising boy-girl twins alongside his husband, Josh.  We speak to Sean about what it was like growing up in a conservative Roman Catholic home whilst grappling with his sexuality. We talk about his coming out story and how he and his family dealt with the response of their community and their church. We also discuss gender roles in the family home, and how Sean and his partner Josh had the opportunity to reframe parental roles with a ‘blank slate’ rather than start with assumed duties based on gender.  Sean also shares hilariously relatable parenting videos on his Instagram, which are great for a giggle. Check out Sean’s Instagram @seanszeps, and you can order his new book ‘Not Like Other Dads’ here; a wonderful book empowering straight and queer parents alike to rewrite the parenting script.
