If you're expecting, a new mum, or wrangling a toddler, we have all the best resources for new parents in our free newsletter here.

Home after you become a parent is more than four walls and a roof. It’s a battleground, and a safe haven. It’s a never ending pile of washing, it’s memories, and it’s tantrums.

On today’s episode of Me After You, you’ll be hearing from Emilyeen Filardi, a self proclaimed “clean freak” who’s on the hunt for a house that’s a bit more family-friendly, Laura Jackal who lived with a housemate  after having her first baby, Ashe Davenport who finds it super helpful to embrace and meditate in mess, and many other mums who share what home life means to them.

So what does home actually mean to new parents? And how do you get past the mess to find the joy? On this episode of Me After You, we find out.
