Warning!! This novel may lead you to make rash and life-changing decisions!* *Probably don't read if you fear you may be ripe for liberation. Or if you sometimes wee when you laugh... First there was Having It All, then there was Bridget Jones' s Diary and I Don't Know How She Does It. Now there is Teenage Punchbag. I'm Just A Teenage Punchbag is a laugh-out-loud, sob-on-the bus journey through the so-called life of a middle-aged woman. Ciara is mother to three ungrateful, entitled teenagers, is married to steady Martin, a man with hairy udders, and is grieving for her mum who now lives in the wardrobe in a cardboard box from the crematorium. She finds solace in her anonymous blog, and in the daily chats she has with her mum's ashes (often the best conversations she has all day.) Despite the menopause, the invisibility of middle age and the daily self-esteem bashings, courtesy of her kids, Ciara manages to navigate the stormy waters of grief and family life - until her mask slips and she is cast out from the family bosom. She embarks on a mission to fulfil her mum's dying wishes to have her remains sprinkled from the top of the Empire State Building, finding company, distraction and - ultimately - herself in the process. If motherhood is a job - who says you can't resign?

Kate Reddy is facing her 50th birthday with 2 teenagers, aging parents and a husband in a mid-life crisis. Oh and no one wants to hire her & peri-menopause is on! This story is hilarious, deliciously sardonic and spot-on. A worthy sequel to her 1st book “I Don't Know How She Does It”. And it's been optioned for TV!

Kate Reddy had it all: a nice home, two adorable kids, a good husband. Then her kids became teenagers (read: monsters). Richard, her husband, quit his job, taking up bicycling and therapeutic counseling: drinking green potions, dressing head to toe in Lycra, and spending his time?and their money?on his own therapy. Since Richard no longer sees a regular income as part of the path to enlightenment, it’s left to Kate to go back to work.  Companies aren’t necessarily keen on hiring 49-year-old mothers, so Kate does what she must: knocks a few years off her age, hires a trainer, joins a Women Returners group, and prepares a new resume that has a shot at a literary prize for experimental fiction.  When Kate manages to secure a job at the very hedge fund she founded, she finds herself in an impossible juggling act: proving herself (again) at work, dealing with teen drama, and trying to look after increasingly frail parents as the clock keeps ticking toward her 50th birthday.  Surely it will all work out in the end. After all, how hard can it be?  Hilarious and poignant, How Hard Can It Be? brings us the new adventures of Kate Reddy, the beleaguered heroine of Allison Pearson's groundbreaking New York Times bestseller I Don't Know How She Does I Allison Pearson’s first book, I Don’t’ Know How She Does It was a smash hit when it appeared in 2002. The story of a hedge fund manager who could juggle nine currencies in five time zones but wakes up at 1:37 am in a panic over the need to produce a homemade pie for her daughter’s school, Oprah called it “the national anthem for working mothers.”  

Amity Dry was a contestant on the first ever season of The Block along with her husband Phil, and came back as an Allstar in 2013 to win it. In this episode of I Don't Know How She Does It, Amity and shares with us how to make your house look like it's off The Block on a super tight budget. We also speak about her life as a singer/; songwriter and hit musicals Mother, Wife and the Complicated Life and 39 for Ever. Plus, Amity's battle with Botox, do you or don't you?

With 24 gold medals to her name and a bunch of broken world records, Libby Trickett is adored by Australia. But when she hung up the goggles in 2009, it wasn't the last we saw of the swimmer. She hit the pool again, then retired a second time, and instead of slowing down, she sped up. She gave birth to a baby girl, Poppy, but things got tough. Libby shares how she lost her identity as a new mother, struggled with her career ending and how she eventually discovered that the only way to make it through, was just to get back in that water. This is no ordinary I Don’t Know How She Does It. It’s a beautiful reminder that the people who look like they have it all together, are often just as lost as the rest of us. But you can always pull yourself back up.

How does the RedBalloon founder do it all? By being a shark - at the top of Australia's business food chain. She's a entrepreneur, author, mentor, judge on Channel 10's Shark Tank, blogger, speaker an influencer with more than 1.5 million Linked In followers and a mother. Notoriously private about her home life, the Red Shark provides a glimpse into the early days of RedBalloon when she had 9 employees sandwiched in her front room and the kids at work blowing up balloons. She shares why she doesn't get mum guilt and why she doesn't care if her children are happy. It sounds harsh, but it makes perfect sense. Show Notes Your host is Holly Wainwright.

This episode was our most popular of 2016 so we're bringing it back for a summer revival. It's been a big year for I Don't Know How She Does It. The show was named one of iTunes' classic podcasts of 2016. But it's also been a big year for Bec Judd, who recently gave birth to twin boys. She's a woman who wears a heck of a lot of hats. From mother, to business owner, to weather presenter to model, Rebecca Judd has a lot going on. She's also one of the most down-to-earth people there is. In this frank and interesting interview, Rebecca Judd talks to Holly Wainwright about how she gets everything done, and still has time for family time in the Judd spa after a days work.

Activated bee pollen in the morning, a coffee or two, family time, then back to bed for ten hours sleep. It's hard to believe we have the same number of hours in the day as model, author, brand ambassador and certified health coach Rachael Finch. Now eight months pregnant, the glowing new mum to be shares why her three year old daughter doesn’t go to daycare and debunks those rumours that she’s a part-time parent.

What does Christmas look like when you're living in a tent with three hungry little mouths and no money for presents? For Nikki McWatters it was an adventure and shopping at the Salvos was a treasure hunt. The author shares what it's like to go days on end with only Weet-Bix and 2 Minute Noodles for sustenance. But today, the mother of five can budget better than the treasurer. From working in billionaire's houses to homelessness, and from her former days as a groupie to studying law, Nikki is a woman with one incredible story.

He's been bum to bum with Beyonce. He's sung for Oprah, and performed for the Queen. But offstage, Guy Sebastian is most happy when he's at home singing to his kids. Along with his stylist wife Jules, he founded the Sebastian Foundation to create safe spaces for vulnerable women.

Her smiling face has been on our screens from the days of Saturday Disney to her current stint on The Block, but television’s most sunshiney host doesn’t care about her career. It’s all about family for Shelley Craft. She’s moved five times in the past year and now she’s sipping green smoothies in Byron Bay, where she's the only person who doesn’t own a yoga mat.

There was a disturbance in the force Across the Airwaves Listeners as we reviewed the episode of Star Wars Rebels where where Ashoka made the shocking discovery Darth Vader is her former master. However this wasn't the disturbance that occurred on television this week with us reviewing the wrath of a new villain on The Walking Dead, Castle being revisited by the memories he lost after going missing and more supernatural happenings on Sleepy Hollow. Even the sitcom reviews gave us a Star Wars vibe as we all had a bad feeling about Luke and Manny's computer problem on Modern Family and Nick developing a romance with Megan Fox's character Reagan on New Girl. Then Nico brings balance back to everything with his news about Game of Thrones, The Dark Tower, Doctor Who, BlindSpot, Disney's Captain Nemo Film and CBS' Nancy Drew. Also, if you are looking for our review on the season finale for The Muppets, it's going to be on next week's episode because of scheduling conflicts regarding recording with Nicki.

For the first time ever in the history of Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider, film critics Jeff Bayer and Eric D. Snider talk about movies they like, don’t like and simply shrug at. First up is “Drive” starring Ryan Gosling. It falls under the “like” category (a lot). Next up is “I Don’t Know How She Does It” starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Can you guess what category this flick falls under? We answer the QOTW which was, “What actor or actress who normally plays a certain type of character could break out and play against type?” Of course there’s pimping, plus PROPAGANDA EXTRAVAGANZA (see details below). Both Jeff and Eric saw the original “Straw Dogs” and Eric saw the remake. Interquel is played with “Bull Durham” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” PROPAGANDA EXTRAVAGANZA: If you like Movie B.S. then tell people about it. The most creative propaganda piece will win the biggest Movie B.S. prize to date! One winner will get the following Blu-rays: “TRON: Legacy,” “MacGruber,” “Limitliess” and “Louie: Season 1.” Check out our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/moviebspdx for past examples. Fans have made and posted fliers, created decks of cards, and even killed a man in our name! Deadline to enter is October 19. QOTW (thanks to listener Dave Gibbons): How far have you ever driven to see a movie, what movie was it, and was it worth the drive?
