Why a burnt-out nervous system makes healthy eating feel impossible

It's nostalgia month on the TRS app, so we got Mum and Dad on to talk about the recipes we grew up eating. Dad’s car smelling like hot chips on a Friday night, Mum's lasagne that took literally all day, orange jelly with orange bits in it, shapes in the back of the car on the way to hockey, and the bumper bars Mum hid in a ceramic hen so we wouldn't eat them all in one go.

Winter is when food guilt gets the loudest, and somehow the meals that actually make you feel good (hearty, cosy, eat-on-the-couch kinda meals) are the ones we've been made to feel weird or guilty about.

All month long we're bringing the classics back on the app, same hug-in-a-bowl feeling, just with a swap or a hidden veg you'd never notice. Find them all under the nostalgic tag. And because we're celebrating, there's 3 months for $30 -  link below!

Mum & Dad Join the Pod: The Recipes We Grew Up On 

Guest cancelled, zero prep, and we both look a bit rough — but here we are. Rosa's on the verge of getting sick, Margo fell off her bike and can't take her jersey off. We get into what's actually helping when life feels full-on, our favourite recipes on the app right now, and a genuinely useful tip for those 5pm "what's for dinner" moments.

No Guest, No Plan – Surviving, Not Thriving

WARNING: This episode contains brief mentions of grooming and child sexual assault material. If you or someone you know needs help, a list of resources is available at the bottom of the description. 

Today we have Jo Robertson on the podcast. Jo is a qualified sex therapist with a master's in medicine and nearly 20 years in sexual health, child development, and trauma. She came on to talk about one of the most urgent questions we hear from parents in our community: how do we protect our kids online?

This was one of our most eye-opening conversations. A 65% surge in under-age gaming since 2021, the insane increase in children creating sexual content of themselves (seven to ten year olds), how online grooming actually works and why the "not my kid" belief is a myth, and the four immediate things any parent can do right now. 

Jo also shares her own experience raising three boys with strict screen rules, how she handles the "but all my friends have phones" conversation without backing down, and the exact age-by-age roadmap for talking to your kids about bodies, consent, porn, and the internet - including why eight is the right age to explain sex, and ten is the right age to talk about porn.
