Chelsea Williamson’s first year of motherhood didn’t look the way a lot of people expect it to. From choosing an elective C-section to deciding to formula feed from birth, Chelsea opens up about making deeply personal choices in a world that always seems to have an opinion.

This is a conversation about autonomy, confidence and trusting your gut when everyone seems to have something to say.

Eat Sleep Repeat

Hosted by new mums and besties, Kelly McCarren and Kee Reece, eat sleep repeat is a virtual weekly mother’s group for your ears. It's a judgement and shame-free zone where Kel and Kee give advice and talk to other everyday mums. But mostly it’s a raw, honest, funny and relatable look at being a first time mum, desperately trying to survive.

One of us is drowning in toys, washing and the impossible dream of a clean house. The other is losing her phone, forgetting everything and wondering why her brain feels permanently foggy. So yes, spirits are high.

But this episode also has the good stuff: the kind of day with your kids that makes you feel wildly capable, a best-friends sleepover that felt like grown-up magic, and a few very solid recommendations to take into the weekend.

Jess Clark has packed a lot of life into one lifetime, and this episode proves it. Now working as Mamamia’s food and travel editor, Jess takes us through the chapters that shaped her: a religious marriage in her early 20s, a full-blown identity reset, a cancer diagnosis, heartbreak, egg freezing, and a plot twist that changed everything.

The clocks changed… and suddenly mornings are starting at 5:30. Make it make sense.

In this Peak & Pit, Kel and Kee get honest about the kind of weeks that feel a bit off - early wake-ups that hit hard, the quiet panic of feeling behind, and the mental load of trying to do everything well. But there’s also a win that’s been a long time coming (and yes, it involves a toilet).
