We're back for the 2024 season! But Lily is out of the country, so we will be moving on the fly to bring you the ba-goodness of My Mum's. Nothing will stop us, not oceans and not time zones.

We're back for the 2024 season! But Lily is out of the country, so we will be moving on the fly to bring you the ba-goodness of My Mum's. Nothing will stop us, not oceans and not time zones.

I'm doing the socials, so you'll miss Lily's fine wit but nevertheless, we are here to stay and will keep pumping out our content, even if things look a little different as we go forward.

In this episode we spend a lot of time talking and not reading from the 1982 diary - you know how it goes. We talk about the weird time of January, how Lily's travel plans changed quite a bit, and how she 'loves a long goodbye'. We talk about relationships, and how hers with Seth has sadly come to an end, but they're still friends!

We continue sorting through The Garage, and found Lily's Barbies, Bratzes  and all of her Hello Kitty accessoires, but not yet her Barbie horses and stable and Polly Pocket car... I confess I don't remember a Barbie horse or stable. Maybe it's a childhood wish that didn't convert to reality.

In the diary reading, I mention reading Mommie Dearest (infamous book written by daughter of abusive Hollywood star Joan Crawford); I talk about the Davis Cup and how John McEnroe doesn't seem himself; there's another food oath; and Dean Lukin of weightlifting and tuna fishing fame pops up as well.

Finally, we get into Kanye and Bianca because who wouldn't under those sartorial circumstances???

Thanks for listening

Atiqah Abdul's a lesson a day Atiqah Abdul There was a question my mum used to ask when she’d pick us up from school— what did you learn today? She’d even ask that when we returned from something seemingly un-educational, like after going to the cinemas. They say there’s always something to learn even in the mundane. In this podcast/personal journal, Atiqah Abdul, a medical graduate and aspiring author shares her reflections on growing up as a migrant, on life, faith, cultures, the self and everything in between. Chemmy's Chair Lift Chats Chemmy Alcott I used to throw myself down a mountain at 90mph now I am a mum of boys - baby Cooper and toddler Locki. My main goal in life is to make them smile. I feel like I am always on my limit - fatigue and stress wise - running a business with my husband, developing my public personality through TV and presenting and trying to find snippets of me time in the gym. But it is all worth is and I know I am ridiculously fortunate. The Journey of Motherhood Podcast The Journey of Motherhood Podcast I never know which part to start with….the personal or professional. But I guess when I think about what is most important to me….. above all else….it’s being a mother. I have 4 children between the ages of 8 and 15 years. I call them “the loves of my life” because truly that is how it is. But just as much as they can fill me with so much joy that I burst, they can also bring me to my knees.There is heaps I love about motherhood, some parts I’m indifferent to and a few bits that I don’t like. I wouldn’t trade it for the world and I wouldn’t be the woman I am today, without the experiences that motherhood has brought me.On top of all that I’m a Clinical (and Forensic) Psychologist. I’ll save the conversation about “what is a forensic psychologist” for another time. What I really want you to know is that one of the areas that I love love love working in the most, is with mums and their bubs, toddlers, pre-schoolers, primary and high school aged kids. The lot!There are so many reasons Parents in Tech Looi Qin En You are a loving parent and a ambitious technology leader. How do you manage it all?Join me as I go in-depth with parents who are technology leaders, founders and investors about what it really takes to balance career ambitions with family aspirations. My name is Qin En, your host. When I started my first company at the age of 20, I struggled with over-work. I believed that my 20s and 30s should be a relentless pursuit of career achievement. Family & parenting can wait. A few years later, I met my wife, Gladys. She helped me discover a new happiness - one from a balanced life and engaged family. When we welcomed our daughter, Gabrielle, that happiness amplified. So did stress, disagreements and challenges.I know I am not alone. Parents in Tech is where we share stories and lessons about parenting, entrepreneurship and technology. Each and every one of you is welcome.Season 1 spotlights mums in tech, followed by dads in Season 2. We also partner up with like-minded organizatio
