a very honest debrief on life, lately. 

This week I’m dipping back into the archives with one of the most relistened episodes of Almost 40: a conversation with my mum. It started as a joke. My podcast manager suggested I ask mum the questions you’d want answered before the end of someone’s life. Mum was 57 at the time of recording! What unfolded surprised me. Mum shares why her proudest achievement isn’t her kids or grandkids, but the sharp left turn she took into a whole new career despite a lifelong fear of exams and a belief that she wasn’t smart enough. We talk about what it was like having two babies by 19, the day I rolled off a hospital bed at twelve weeks old (yes, I’m the fractured skull child), and why “I don’t know how you do it” rarely lands the way people intend.

We also unpack something I can’t stop thinking about: why women call their achievements luck. Mum bought her own home after her divorce and is now mortgage free, and her first instinct was to call herself lucky rather than proud. Becoming a mum myself changed how I see her, and this conversation changed it again.

In this episode:

• The career change my mum made in midlife and the self-doubt she pushed through

 • Being a young mum at 19 and how you cope when there’s no other option

 • Why “I don’t know how you do it” lands differently when you’re in survival mode

 • Luck versus pride: how women talk themselves out of their own achievements

 • The one thing mum would do differently, and what it reveals about parenting, guilt and work ethic

If you love this one, come join me over on Almost Confidential for the more personal episodes.

Understanding My Mum: What I didn't know

Dr Lara Goode opens up about her recent realisation and diagnosis about of what her psychologist called "severe combined type ADHD" at 35. Lara runs her own allied health clinic, is a Mum of two boys and she’s only now meeting herself for the first time - at 35. 

In this episode, Lara and I unpack what a late ADHD diagnosis actually feels like: the relief, the rage, and the question she now asks herself every day - is this actual Lara, or performing Lara?

We talk about:
Getting diagnosed with ADHD at 35 and grieving the years it was missed
Good girl conditioning, people pleasing and having no boundaries
Masking, mirroring and being a chameleon in relationships
Why anger in women is treated as “unbecoming”, and why our mid-thirties is when the rage shows up
Burnout, high standards and genuinely believing in bandwidth you don’t have
Postnatal anxiety and the undoing that motherhood brings
What Lara would say to her younger self

Whether or not ADHD is part of your story, if you’ve ever felt like you’ve spent your life performing a version of yourself, this one is for you.

The "Good Girl Undoing" with Dr Lara Goode 

What makes a Miserable Mum? Is it linked to life satisfaction? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, carrying the mental load, or struggling to enjoy family life, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Almost Forty, Kylie is joined by Alison from Our Neurodiverse Family for an honest conversation about the recent social media trend surrounding "Things we do because we refuse to be Miserable Mum's". This conversation is all about motherhood, parenting, family systems, resentment, unrealistic expectations and the hidden factors that contribute to mum burnout.

Together they explore why so many women feel exhausted by the pressure of being a “good mum” and why the answer isn’t necessarily becoming a better parent - it’s identifying what actually matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and redesigning the systems that are creating friction in everyday family life.

Topics discussed include:

• The mental load of motherhood

• Family dinners and parenting expectations

• Mum guilt and resentment

• Family systems that reduce overwhelm

• Neurodivergent families and practical supports

• Teaching kids independence and life skills

• Fend For Yourself Dinner (FFYD)

• Letting go of perfectionism

• Finding more joy and life satisfaction as a parent

Whether you’re navigating motherhood, parenting neurodivergent children, feeling overwhelmed by family responsibilities, or simply looking for practical ways to make family life feel easier, this episode is packed with relatable stories, permission slips and actionable ideas.
