When Nikolina first became a mum, she felt like she was hit by a bus. For the first couple of months, she felt like she had no idea what she was doing. Constantly googling why Noah was crying, why he wasn't sleeping or why he wasn't drinking as much milk as other babies his age. But most importantly, she was spending hundreds of dollars on products that claimed to fix all of these issues, only to be disappointed each time (and give her husband a mini heart attack every time he checked the online banking app). Nikolina has come out the other side, and like most new mums, she has found the time to write a book. How to Life is SO proud and if there ever was a topic that so many people need advice on... It's how to survive the first six months as a new parent. To purchase a copy of MUM ADVICE by Nikolina Koevska Kharoufeh click here!

Claudia & Nikolina are VERY excited for the upcoming silly season and the fact Jenna is finally off the zoom screen and back in the studio.

The word Endo is becoming more and more commonly heard in discussions around health and period pain. Endo aka Endometriosis is a common disease where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside it in other parts of the body. More than 830,000 of Australians suffer from endometriosis at some point in their life. But the symptoms are variable and the process of diagnosis is long. But why do we know so little about it? And why does it take so long to get a diagnosis? Claudia is currently on her own Endo journey, so we thought she was the perfect girl to sit down with Dr Kavya and get some answers. NOTE: A small correction to the definition of endometriosis stated in this poddy: endometriosis is a condition where tissue very similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) is found growing outside of the uterus.
