Hey Jugglers! This week we were lucky enough to be joined by the incredibly Kayla Itsines who found time in between managing her fitness empire and social media stardom to have a baby. Kayla shares with us what it was like for the "queen of abs" to face the realities of her new body and how she learned to adjust and adapt. Plus are you living paycheque to paycheque? We check in with our favourite money guru, Canna Campbell, to find out the basics on learning to save and budget. Our hosts this week were Melissa Wilson and Sarah McGilvray. This podcast was produced by Nina Young. We've got a bit of a favour to ask; we'd love you to Subscribe to The Juggling Act in your podcast app and leave us a review.

Are you guilty of glancing at the clock and calculating whether it's too early for a wine? Plenty of parents are. In fact 'mummy wine time is big in Australian culture, as the thousands of memes and Facebook groups dedicated to the subject prove. Talitha Cummins wants us all to stop normalising the mum drinking culture and take stock of our drinking habits. Plus, our listener question this week is all about sex... or lack thereof. What do you do when you're too tired to get in the mood and your partner just can't understand? We sat down with psychologist Belinda Williams from The Bumpy Road to discuss.

We're all taught that losing your job is a sign of failure, but what if it isn't? What if it turns out to be exactly the shot of motivation you need to turn your life around and start winning.

Plus, Sarah has a neighbour problem that she doesn't know how to solve, and Mel gets the low-down on the benefits of the endless childcare plagues from Dr Sam.
