🎙 What led Tara & Nick to go to a couples therapist and how supported them
🎙 Behind the scenes tea from Tara’s time on the Bachelor
🎙 Tara’s journey to choosing Nick as her forever after
🎙 How relationships change after kids & how fitness helped with getting her libido back
And so much more…

275. Solo ep - Discipline without losing your mind, how are we doing it?
08:43||Season 10, Ep. 275This week’s solo episode is all about how I (try to) discipline my kids. I reflect on whether yelling is worth my energy or time and does it have the impact I was hoping for. Whether reward systems actually work and how I’m using them to instil positive habits. Why mapping out the day and key activities ahead of time has been a game-changer. Whether bribery is a necessary evil, why empty threats are so easy to give and so much more. If you’re keen to get your kids to do what you want them to do – or try to – this one is for you.

273. Solo ep - When one child eats everything, the other eats nothing
09:45||Season 10, Ep. 273This week’s solo episode is all about my anxiety around meal time. Specifically my kid’s meal time. One kid is a bottomless pit and the other has a beige diet preference. Meaning one eats us out of the house and we’re lucky if we get 2 spoons of rice into our other kid. In this episode I talk about how I’m trying to get my kid to finish a meal and have a well-balanced diet. Whilst not comparing my kids to every other kid who’s eating raw capsicums. If your life also feels a lil stress around the kid food front,this one is for you.
