This was first broadcast October 12th 2025, on 94.9 MainFM in Castlemaine, Victoria.
In this episode of the show, Sarah sits down with Kaye (retired nurse, florist and taxi driver, plus - and most importantly - mum to Sarah and five others, as well as grandmum to 9 squirts!), about what we can learn about mumming and parenting from the 1989 comedy, Shirley Valentine. Using the film's depiction of mothering and family as their jumping-off point, the mums chat about challenges of supporting your kids with something you don’t agree on, navigating the tough stuff and being true to yourself as a mother.
Don't come expecting definitive answers or paths to parenting greatness. This is just two ordinary, imperfect mums getting real and having a chat.
Get on board the F Plan.
