It's the first episode of season 4 and this one is all about noodles, breakfast of champions for the young back in 1983.

It's February 1983, mum is staying with girlfriends down at Queenscliff and the big fires are happening. Gran is ringing worried but all mum seems to care about is reading a new book Tom, being interested in a photography course, the F-Plan Diet and the No Nonsense merch: yoyos!

Mum's also waiting for a letter from Simon from Bristol, who's gone tobacco picking, and then one arrives!

As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit.

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
