When you've got young kids, you can be distracted on Sunday's at church. With children pulling at your clothes, needing help on the toilet, in desperate need of their water bottle, and keen to go home, it can be hard to hold a conversation.  But what happens if you're in full-time ministry, and the congregation is relying on you to preach, or walk with them through a crisis? In this episode we unpack one mother's experience of having four children, planting a church in another country, and the windy road that led her back to God after her own mother passed away.   Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

Giving your children the gift of siblings is a great joy. Those heart explosions when your kids are playing well together are worth all the fights you need to referee throughout the day. But how do you foster strong sibling bonds? How do you intentionally parent kids that are at different developmental stages? Is it possible to avoid jealous or competitive rivalries?  In this episode, two mums share their experience of having multiple children – the joys, the challenges, the guilt, and their insights into how to foster a strong friendship between their kids.  Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

Every birth is wild. As long as everyone makes it out okay, we say, that's all that matters. And of course, in the big picture, there's truth to that.  And yet, research tells us, birth experiences matter a great deal when it comes to how things unfold in those initial months and can be extremely triggering when a mother considers having future children. Obviously, there's the physical damage, but the emotions that come with a traumatic birth can be just as, if not more, challenging to overcome.  In this episode, one mother shares her story of a traumatic pregnancy, birth and post-labour that she experienced with her second child, and the steps she's taking to process it all.  Trigger Warning: This episode may be triggering for anyone who has experienced a miscarriage or traumatic birth.  Visit the Gidget Foundation for resources and support if you are experiencing perinatal anxiety or depression including intrusive thoughts and feelings associated with a traumatic pregnancy, birth or post-natal period: gidgetfoundation.org.au Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

From the day our babies are born, all that their bottoms have really known is a snug nappy.   So, how do you know when your little one is ready to say good-bye to nappies and toilet-train? And how do you help them learn what to do with their wees and poos?   In this episode, one mum shares her experience of toilet-training her two kids with very different personalities and how understanding who they are helped to shape her approach.    Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

In keeping with the season's focus on the toddler years, in this episode, we turn our attention to the ‘P' word – play! A big part of a toddler's day, play allows them to be creative, learn to problem solve, share, and so much more. For parents, playing with our little ones offers us great opportunities for bonding and quality time. Though actually engaging in play can feel like anything from genuinely fun one minute to frustratingly repetitive and exhausting the next. Two mums share their experience of toddler playtime – the joys, the mess, the hacks, the guilt, and their insights into how to make the most of play for the whole family.

At times it can all feel too hard. In this episode, everyday mums share their experience of navigating motherhood and church life – finding a sense of belonging, purpose, and new joys in this season of Sundays – with little ones in tow.

Every parent wants to be confident that their child is hitting the milestones that they should be. But the reality is that oftentimes, the 'timeline' that our kids are supposed to follow for when they 'should be' rolling over, babbling, transitioning to solid food, walking, etc. etc. can cause a lot of middle-of-the-night, anxiety-induced google searching. In this episode we discuss the different experiences we can have as mothers of reconciling the timeline our kids actually follow with what the text books say. Of course, as always, if you have any concerns about your child's health and development, please seek the advice of a medical professional. Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

Being a parent teaches us in the clearest terms how God, our Father in Heaven, relates to us — His love, His frustrations, His compassion for us. The way we feel about our kids is about as close as we can get to grasping how God feels about us, His children.   In this episode, three mums share how their motherhood journeys have defined their faith and how their faith has refined their experience of motherhood.   Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

One of the most unexpected gifts of motherhood is all the new mum friends you'll gain.   It's an amazing feeling when you realise there are so many people supporting you.   But sometimes it's hard to navigate friendships with people in different seasons of life. And sometimes it's hard to have energy for anyone but your immediate family.   In this conversation, we discuss how friendships change and evolve once you're a mum, and the opportunity to share your faith with new friends.   Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

For many of us, our motherhood journey is one that is full of both joy and heartache.   Miscarriage is sadly all too common. If you haven't experienced one yourself, there's a strong chance that a close friend or family member has.   Everyone will process the grief of miscarriage differently.   In today's episode we unpack one mother's experience of miscarriage loss and what it is like to grieve when you trust that God is both good and in complete control of all things.   Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

Ten tips to make your baby sleep through the night from day one!   Ok...that's a lie.   We'll admit, it's the blind leading the blind a bit on this one.

Let's talk about about nourishing our tiny tots! By breast or by bottle, feeding our babies can be one of the most difficult responsibilities we face as new mums — both physically and emotionally. Particularly when you throw in any extra hurdles like low milk supply, colic and reflux, or allergies and intolerances.   Breastfeeding is one of those things that, like childbirth, you can't quite imagine until you find yourself actually doing it. And though it can be portrayed as something so natural and straightforward, it often takes a lot of time and a whole lot of practice (often in the wee hours of the morning) for you and baby to get into the swing of things.   And to all those bottle-feeding mums up late prepping formula dispensers so you're ready at all times, we tip our hats to you — we've been you, we see you, we feel you.   No matter your feeding journey, we hope this episode helps find the grace to let go of any mum-guilt and know your baby loves you!   If you need help with any feeding issues, you can contact your community health nurse, GP, or the Australian Breastfeeding Association on 1800 686 268.   Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

Where did all my time go?! Having a baby can initially be all-consuming and we might find ourselves getting a bit lost somewhere between nap-time and our seventeenth nappy change of the day.   Every mother's experience is different but often our career, our hobbies, and our very sense of self can all get a bit shaken up when we become mums and throw ourselves into loving on our little human beings who need us to survive.   Today we are talking about coping in the baby bubble. What might it look like to rediscover our sense of self and find joy in who we are becoming in a season of life entirely unlike any we have experienced before?   Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

Have a bit of a love-hate relationship with all that baby advice you keep getting? Us too!   The best advice can give us the confidence to try something new that works wonders for us and our babies. The worst advice can leave us riddled with guilt and second-guessing our God-given instinct.   In this episode we share some of the advice that left us tearing our hair out, found us drying our tears and helped us find our feet in this strange land they call motherhood.   Hosted and Produced by Ally Barnes.

Ally Barnes is the Super Producer for the radio show I host. We have for a number of months been having an argument about the value of musicals. I contend that they are terrible, a conglomeration of average in every sense of the word. They are average singing, average acting and average prices. The result is always sub-par. Ally on the other hand believes they are magical, brilliant and wonderful. They are the pinnacle of everything that is good and right in the world. One might say, she is completely mad about musicals. Likewise I'm mad, I think they are a waste of time, but I'm willing to be convinced that musicals have value even for me. This is a podcast about one man willing to be won over to the world of musicals. This is a podcast about the woman who will map a plan for me to fall in love with them.
