Anne Marie finds Susan in the shop, and as Susan nervously rambles, Anne Marie stops her to apologise – she treated Susan awfully at the Theatre. Susan understands and admits she simply hadn't thought her plan through regarding the cot. Anne Marie admits that Amber feels distant and she was jealous when she saw the two of them laughing together. Susan says it's difficult, but Amber will come round. Susan offers to make them both a nice cup of tea. Anne Marie apologises for her emotional outburst. As a child, Amber was close with Anne Marie, and she drew Amber storybooks every year. She states that Amber started drifting away long before meeting George. Susan tells Anne Marie she can't stop trying.Tom goes through his pitch for Bridge Farm with Helen, who says she can see why their Mum and Dad chose it. Helen asks how Harrison's welcome back drinks went - Tom confesses he didn't go because Natasha was out. Helen points out that someone could have watched the twins before realising Tom is avoiding Kirsty. Tom has spoken to Kirsty, and it went really badly. He admits that hearing about the pregnancy brought up feelings about Wren. He couldn't explain this well to Kirsty, and Helen suggests he finds someone else to talk about his feelings with. Tom says he will always carry Wren with him - Helen points out it's the same for Kirsty. Tom confesses he was so happy when he first heard Kirsty was pregnant, and wishes he had just told her that.

Ora et Labora... et Cinema? St Benedict, Animal Farm and Family Film Nights.Pray and work, said St Benedict, but rest matters too! So last week, Helena and her family swapped the labora for the cinema and watched the new Animal Farm, directed by Andy Serkis and distributed by Angel Studios.The boys loved it. Mum had questions. In this episode of Culture Tuesday, Helena takes a Catholic look at Orwell's classic tale re-imagined for families. Why does Orwell give a powerful story of corrupted power so brilliantly, yet offers no cure? What does Moses the raven and his Sugarcandy Mountain get wrong about Christian hope? And where does true human dignity come from, if not from politics? Plus: the case for watching hard stories with your children rather than hiding from them, a warm recommendation for the Wingfeather Saga on Angel Studios, and why an air conditioned cinema followed by a good conversation might be the perfect way to spend a hot July afternoon. Just make sure you chat about it afterwards.Please consider supporting us with a one-off or monthly donation.

Maya's fed up. Every time she's told to put her screen down and go read or draw, her dad's sitting right beside her... scrolling through Instagram! Is that fair? It's a classic case of "do as I say, not as I do" and Judge Bex is not impressed. Then it's Thomas versus Mum. Thomas has saved up his own money and he's desperate to buy an XBOX but Mum reckons it's the first step to becoming a "tech monster," and worries the console is just the start of a very long (and very expensive) list. Can Thomas prove he can be trusted, or will Mum win the day? Got a case you need Judge Bex's help with?

In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author‑illustrator Charlie Mackesy, whose work – The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse – has become a global touchstone for kindness, vulnerability and hope. Yet Charlie's path was anything but straightforward: he grew up feeling inherently at fault, shaped by the pressures of competitive schooling and the emotional weight of carrying the painful stories readers now share with him. He talks about failing his driving test four times and the devastating loss of his best friend, Jamie, in a car crash – a grief that propelled him to London and sparked the first moment he began drawing compulsively, with music as solace. Charlie reflects on not achieving what he calls “conventional success” through marriage or children, the underrated importance of friendship and the power of kindness and self‑compassion. We also explore his years of not earning a living as an artist – a period he now sees not as failure, but as an essential process. Charlie urges us to create without fear, to let go of perfection and to live fully in the imperfect present. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:44 Feeling at Fault 04:30 Outsider and School Years 05:55 Carrying Others Stories 13:57 Animals and Ducklings 17:08 Driving Test Failure 18:06 Loss and Aftermath 20:05 Grief Fuels Art 23:14 Bottling Emotions 25:07 Remember Mothers Word 28:28 Mum's Tactile Reading 29:44 Dementia and Story Comfort 33:21 Redefining Success 37:46 Friendship Essentials 40:37 Kindness and Self Talk 46:09 Failing as an Artist

It's nostalgia month on the TRS app, so we got Mum and Dad on to talk about the recipes we grew up eating. Dad’s car smelling like hot chips on a Friday night, Mum's lasagne that took literally all day, orange jelly with orange bits in it, shapes in the back of the car on the way to hockey, and the bumper bars Mum hid in a ceramic hen so we wouldn't eat them all in one go. Winter is when food guilt gets the loudest, and somehow the meals that actually make you feel good (hearty, cosy, eat-on-the-couch kinda meals) are the ones we've been made to feel weird or guilty about. All month long we're bringing the classics back on the app, same hug-in-a-bowl feeling, just with a swap or a hidden veg you'd never notice. Find them all under the nostalgic tag. And because we're celebrating, there's 3 months for $30 - link below! New episodes out every second Thursday.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm thrilled to be speaking to the absolutely fabulous Zoe Hanson — solo Mum to her 13 year old daughter, Lois. Zoe raised Lois by herself from the moment she was born, and that was while she was hosting Heart's south coast breakfast show having been one of the south coast's longest running breakfast show hosts on both the Capital and Heart networks, including presenting Capital's breakfast show alongside Johnny Vaughan. These days, you can hear Zoe on The So So Show, a podcast that she hosts with Tom Stroud about all things Southampton which is where Zoe lives. In our conversation, Zoe and I talk all about her former career; her company, The Podcast Lady, which she started as a way of helping business start their own podcasts; we talk about how both of us are feeling fabulous in our fifties, Zoe's love of running, what single life looks like when you have a kid, and of course we also talk about Zoe's journey of being a solo parent. I absolutely bloody loved talking to this woman, and I know that you're going to love listening to her and feeling her amazing energy.

Mostly Film – Take 236: What's NewIt's a big one this week. Jonathan and JP are back with a mountain of trailers, an absolutely unhinged watch list, and a news cycle that genuinely did not slow down.First, List It or Nix It — fifteen trailers go through the gauntlet this week. Werwulf, Angry Birds 3, Not Alone, The Dink, The Debut, Digger, Her Private Hell, Late Fame, The Weight, Jimmy, Union County, The Devil's Mouth, Mum I'm Alien Pregnant, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, and Charlie Harper. Yes, all of them. Yes, Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant is real.Then it's What We've Been Watching, and Jonathan went absolutely feral this week — Toy Story 5, Backrooms, Obsession, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, The Sheep Detectives, Carolina Caroline, David, and somehow also Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, Minions, The Borrowers, Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, and Honey We Shrunk Ourselves. JP brings Obsession, Backrooms, and Tuner to the table. Between the two of them, a lot of ground gets covered.In the news: The Odyssey had its world premiere in London tonight — Nolan, Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Hathaway, and Pattinson all on the red carpet — and the conversation around the film is complicated. 450,000 trailer dislikes, replies turned off on premiere posts, and it opens in 11 days. Does tonight change anything? Minions & Monsters had a rough July 4th opening, becoming a franchise low domestically while Toy Story 5 just kept eating. The Michael Jackson biopic quietly became the highest-grossing biopic in history. The Avengers: Doomsday trailer is reportedly dropping at SDCC on July 25. And Emmy nominations land tomorrow morning — Harrison Ford might finally be getting his flowers.

Almost without exception successful horse trainers are hard workers. There's a 35 year old Grafton based Mum who's in accord with the quote made famous by former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who said “hard work won't always get you to the top but with ordinary luck will get you pretty near.” Samantha's been around horses from the toddling stage. After notable success in the pony club and campdrafting pursuits, she transitioned to thoroughbreds by becoming a trackwork rider at the busy Grafton training precinct. A successful two and a half year stint as a jockey triggered her interest in the training of the animal and that's where we find her today. Sam works a team of twenty horses from Hosier Lodge right on the Grafton track and has already established a reputation as a very serious young trainer in the  northern region. Samantha and husband Matt McGuren live 20 kms outside Grafton requiring very early starts for both. Matt is currently having a break from the rigours of the sweat box but still has a significant input into stable duties. Sam says he rides a number of horses before heading off to his day job. She pays tribute to Matt's skills as a professional jockey and the other talents he's been able to develop along the way.  Sam says she doesn't ride as much trackwork these days but still needs to be on standby. She acknowledges the input of her stable apprentice Grace Palmer and a handful of other jockeys who help out from time to time. The young mother talks about her darling daughters Makella and Addison. Thirteen year old Makella already has her future well and truly earmarked. Sam talks about her lifetime passion for campdrafting and the nasty injury she suffered three years ago. She still marvels at her good luck in finding the right horse to kick start her training career. Digital online purchase Fortyfive Parklane won 6 races for his fledgling trainer. Sam gives a shoutout to a few special horses who helped to get her training career up and running. She looks back on childhood days at Maclean near Grafton and her early fascination with horses. Samantha looks  back on her introduction to trackwork at Grafton. She was besotted from “day 1.” The dedicated horsewoman reflects on her apprenticeship to Grafton trainer Terry Commerford whose support was invaluable. Sam remembers the thrill of her first race win and the momentum she was able to generate during her apprenticeship. That momentum enabled her to become champion northern rivers apprentice in the 2010/2011 season. She had a soft spot for the Commerford trained Montana Hilton who remains the favourite from her race riding days. Sam looks back on the transfer of her indentures to respected Taree trainer Ross Stitt who also gave her partner Matt McGuren a role in his busy operation. She talks of her admiration for Sydney based fellow female rider Kathy O'Hara.  This is a laid back chat with a dedicated young trainer who sees herself being around thoroughbreds for the duration of her working life.

Mum takes Maddie and Triggs to McGinty's annual sports day. But when Triggs is selected to take part in the obstacle race, he soon realises that it's all about winning and not about having fun. With Maddie's help, Triggs tries to show the other competitors that having fun with your friends is more important than winning.

Part 3 with Geordie Lillis from Creators of Awesome, and this one goes off. Geordie kicks off with a proper true yarn. At 14, riding his motorbike on the family farm, he got struck by lightning. The bolt hit the power line above him and arced through the ground into his bike. Rubber wheels, rubber gloves, rubber boots. That's the only reason he's here to tell it. Mum watched him vanish in a white flash. He's got the GoPro footage too. The lightning gave him a heart arrhythmia that stuck around until he broke his neck at 21 and the shock reset his heart. Turns out breaking your neck's not all bad news. Geordie walks through the recovery. 21 years old, working on movies at Village Roadshow, one bad skim board fall on the beach, hairline fracture through C1, and months lying in bed counting flies. Then a university lecturer offered him a job teaching filmmaking around Queensland to little indigenous communities. The Pomperaw yarn about handing shoelaces to barefoot kids who turned them into fishing nets by lunch is a ripper. Plus a full breakdown of how a film set actually works. Cinematographer, focus puller, second AC, video utility. And Geordie's specific job on Thor: Ragnarok running hundreds of metres of cable so Chris Hemsworth could see the Hulk in his eyeline.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the very hilarious comic, writer and podcaster MARK WATSON!You can go ahead and add "long overdue guest" somewhere in the salutation there too, as Mark is someone who's been missing from the DPP alumni for way too long. Mark's been busy performing comedy all around the globe for a minute, and at some point you will have heard Pip proclaim his love for 'No More Jockeys' - the theme quiz with Tim Key, Alex Horne and Mark, so you'll likely know him from at least one point of entry. If not, fear not, as this is a lovely chat where no former knowledge is required! Pip and Mark go into several menu items including the perils of being 40+ (get your ailments bingo card prepped), peeing in odd places like a regular stray dog, getting lifts with parents as an adult, famous contacts in one's phone, riders at shows (ie backstage snax, beverages and more), surprise Mum spottings, squeezing material out of rugged situations when it might be better to just not have the situation, and his new podcast project (link below).

In this episode, Kate Boyle shares her personal experience of going on her first wellness retreat and the fears that almost stopped her from going. She explores why retreats can feel intimidating, how stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to growth, and why time away can be deeply restorative for body and mind. Have you ever wondered what a Pilates instructor actually does every day? Is daily pain just part of getting older? And can something as simple as your breathing really improve your health? In this special Q&A episode of the Mind Movement Health Podcast, I'm answering some of the most frequently asked questions I receive from my Pilates clients, podcast listeners and Instagram community. From my daily wellness routine to healthy aging, chronic pain, menopause, Pilates, strength training and breathwork, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based advice you can apply immediately. Whether you're navigating your 40s and beyond, looking to move without pain, or simply wanting to age well, this episode offers simple strategies to help you build a healthier body for life.  

Some seasons of life just happen to you. The trip gets cancelled. The diagnosis lands. The person you love is suddenly gone - and none of it is fair, and none of it is yours to fix. That feeling - like life is happening to you and you've got no say in it - is, to me, the worst feeling of all. So this week I'm sharing one question I've reached for in my hardest, loneliest, most unfair moments. From my first year in America, crying in an empty apartment, through losing my sister - and through this past year, losing Mum. It's not "stay positive." It's not a silver lining. It's something far more useful, and every time I ask it, it hands me back my sense of agency. I open with a quote from one of my greatest teachers, Dr Viktor Frankl, that completely changed my relationship with life - and then I walk you through exactly how I used this question to climb out of helplessness during one of the loneliest stretches I've lived through. By the end you'll have a simple exercise to do on your own - so you're not just listening this week, you're participating. Grab a pen or your notesapp. Let's get into it.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with banter about Clint’s negativity, then Meg shares a kindy pickup story where her daughter Daisy jokes “Mum, leave him” after hearing Guy call her away from a friendly sheep. They talk unromantic proposals, play a chocolate-bar popularity quiz, and get called out for looking bored during Meg’s postpartum sleep story. The show covers missed “Take the Edge Off My Life” calls, workplace theft confessions, and how listeners caught cheaters. They debate shows they’re late to (Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Outrageous Fortune, Yellowstone), joke about backwards caps as “kryptonite,” and hear about Kindness Collective accidentally distributing Vagisil as moisturizer, plus other workplace blunders. 00:00 Welcome Hump Day Banter 00:23 Clint Gets Roasted 01:18 Meg Teases Coffee Catchup 02:14 The Kindy Sheep Story 03:40 Daisy Calls Out Dad 5:10 First Call Maria Ring Talk 07:54 Worst Proposals Chat 09:08 Stinky Boo Chocolate Game 11:54 Naughty 640 R 16:24 Take The Edge Off Calls 18:12 Stealing From Work Confessions 28:29 How You Caught A Cheater 31:01 What You Watching Wednesday 37:37 Yellowstone Recommendations 38:50 Take the Edge Off 40:42 Backwards Cap KryptonitE 49:04 Vagisil Donation Mixup 52:42 Workplace Drop Ball Stories

What makes a Miserable Mum? Is it linked to life satisfaction? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, carrying the mental load, or struggling to enjoy family life, this episode is for you. In this episode of Almost Forty, Kylie is joined by Alison from Our Neurodiverse Family for an honest conversation about the recent social media trend surrounding "Things we do because we refuse to be Miserable Mum's". This conversation is all about motherhood, parenting, family systems, resentment, unrealistic expectations and the hidden factors that contribute to mum burnout. Together they explore why so many women feel exhausted by the pressure of being a “good mum” and why the answer isn’t necessarily becoming a better parent - it’s identifying what actually matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and redesigning the systems that are creating friction in everyday family life. Topics discussed include: • The mental load of motherhood • Family dinners and parenting expectations • Mum guilt and resentment • Family systems that reduce overwhelm • Neurodivergent families and practical supports • Teaching kids independence and life skills • Fend For Yourself Dinner (FFYD) • Letting go of perfectionism • Finding more joy and life satisfaction as a parent Whether you’re navigating motherhood, parenting neurodivergent children, feeling overwhelmed by family responsibilities, or simply looking for practical ways to make family life feel easier, this episode is packed with relatable stories, permission slips and actionable ideas.

Jasmine brings her mum to court, outraged after being denied pudding on the last night of the family holiday! Even more devastated when a strict new "only-healthy-pudding-on-weekdays" law is announced at home. With shocking new evidence (Mum’s midnight Nutella confession!) and a passionate plea for more sweet treats, Judge Bex must decide: Is Mum being fair, or does Jasmine deserve dessert justice? Meanwhile, Thomas loves his long hair and sometimes rocks a front ponytail to keep it out of his eyes but his sister Holly and even Mum and Dad think it looks silly. Is it fair for Thomas to be called out for his "silly" style, or should everyone do their own hair, their own way? Judge Bex weighs in with trademark wisdom (and maybe tries a new hairstyle herself).Support the show: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ciao to all of our listeners, and benvenuto to our next guest, the fabulous Italian chef Giorgio Locatelli! We're so excited to be part of Giorgio's big announcement that he is set to be the new judge on Celebrity Masterchef on BBC One later this year! Mum took up the challenge of cooking for this Michelin star chef, and she even had a helping hand from the master himself. Not only is Giorgio an incredible chef, but he definitely needs his own Italian travel series too - we heard all about the very best places to visit in Italy, food spots in Sicily, where to find the very best olive oil, that his grandparents lived past 100 and you won't want to miss his tip on how to find the best tinned tomatoes in the supermarket!

After a career in global consulting and raising a family, Sally Evans decided to pursue a dream of owning a winery. She took WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) wine courses and traveled to Bordeaux to explore the city and its appellations and discovered Fronsac (on the right bank, Episode 593 is on Fronsac!), which captured her heart. Photo: Sally Evans. Courtesy of Ch George7   She went for it – she bought a small plot in 2015 and decided to build a new château from scratch. She found the right plot, and the right people and that château today is the award-winning Château George7. She makes two other reds besides her main wine and a white Bordeaux.     Sally has offered us a discount if you order 12 bottles of wine to be shipped to you from www.chateaugeorge7.com -- you get 15% off and the price on the site includes everything -- wine, shipping, taxes, etc. Code WFNP is good no matter what country you order the wine from! Chip in with a friend or buy a case for yourself! Support the work of this wonderful person (Sally) making wonderful wines (Château George7)!    Because she is so smart and ambitious, Sally didn't stop there, she wrote a best-selling book to help other people who are questioning what to do in midlife, called "Make The Midlife Move: A Practical Guide to Flourish after Fifty".We also discuss her book -- a must read, especially for women making a midlife change. It's a practical guide to help people reimagine their lives. Here's the blurb from Sally on what it covers: "I lead you through:  the process of defining your dream, dealing with those inevitable fears then building the confidence to take the leap, and flourish in the new chapter, no matter what your midlife move entails. ​​It shares the realities of a major midlife change - my journey from corporate life and Mum, to creating a wine château in Bordeaux from scratch. I hope my story and the practical guidance in this book inspire you and other women (and why not men?) to embrace your midlife transformations with confidence and passion."   Sally was on the podcast previously discussing her project with Wendy Narby, Wineand2Veg, about how to pair Bordeaux with vegetarian food. In this show Sally returns to share her story with us and talk about Fronsac, one of the most underrated appellations in Bordeaux.   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!
