I find out what ‘hair that moves’ is...

We start this episode with a Very Important Announcement: I've cut all my hair off! All gone! It feels weird but I’m loving this new aerodynamic style. This sparks a convo about Bette Midler and Beaches and ‘hair that moves’ and we then chat about the upcoming Coronation and how we’re annoyed that we’re both away and can’t watch it together and about Mum going to Bendigo’s Writers Festival to host a Bad Diary Salon (very exciting everyone should check them out: BAD DIARIES SALON webpage)

We then have something we haven’t had in a while, a Thrushdate! So, tune in to hear all about my vaginal ecosystem as we read about Mum FINALLY finding her pixie boots, listening to a ‘walkman stereo’ for the first time, old school tram conductors, Mum’s Uni subjects, including of course hot psych guy who’s now graduated to being just ‘him’, and a ringing in her ears post a Pretenders concert which went on for days and I’m convinced was the start of her tinnitus

Oh, and we also had a surprise guest this episode in the form of a giant huntsman spider so please ignore my panic around the two min mark

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. Thriving and Surviving as a Solo Mum Thriving and Surviving as a Solo Mum It’s been a very long time coming. Hugest thanks to my best friends for their continued encouragement to start a podcast, previewed over many years of lengthy recorded voice messages! 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
