Join us for an interview with Christina Bond - a clinical psychologist who co-founded Matrescence NZ with her sister and best friend Sam. This interview is a must listen for all mothers and mothers to be - it's a service I dearly wish was available when I was a first time mother!

This podcast has always been a place where more of my personal journey has been shared, sometimes in snippets, sometimes in a full episode. What I do know without a shadow of doubt is that it's taken until now to really feel - out of the fray and into a new life so to speak and if that doesn't call for an episode as well as a firm stake in the ground that says hey we get to celebrate these milestones too - I don't know what does!

Feeling a little low? Extra tired, like you are just craving sugar 247? This is NOT in your head!! There is a whole hormone shift that happens when light gets less, days shorter and colder....do we even mention sick kids? I had to give you this drop of inspo right now and would love to see you on my virtual event tonight!

Hot off our highly successful Winter Launch and firm "hey we are not going anywhere" flag in the ground I wanted to share some of the raw reality of taking on big, hard goals. In this podcast I talk about a quote that I found which really sums up where we often get stuck in our goals. I share some of my PhD journey (the hardest bits) which is where I truly did my training in this process and more than anything I hope it gives some much needed inspo for you!

I do not like the term "mistake" here as there is only learning but if you can fast track your progress by gleaming some advice here then that's all that matters! In this podcast I talk you through just this - some top lessons from over a decade of helping parents with their own nutrition and guiding their children's food - plus all extra nuggets I always drop in these podcasts too! P.S All brand new winter goodies land TODAY as well!

This week on the podcast I answer a FAQ that has come though - and in true Julie style unpack so much more - how do we know if something is healthy for us? How do we actually just know what to eat? Why is it all so hard? This is one not to miss especially if you are needing some love and inspiration in your food journey!

It's cold, the days are short, our bodies are screaming to just go into hibernation and do we need to mention sick kids? In this episode I hit you with all my tips, tricks and golden nuggets for this period - including frequently asked questions on supplements and freeze-dried vegetables - all ahead of my huge Winter Range launch!

Life is hard we all need some guilty pleasures to get through here are some of ours....this goes South rather quick peeps - you are welcome!

Deep diving into this massive topic - who has it harder being a solo mother or being a single married mother - this seems to be a point of huge debate on socials so we are doing what we do and cracking this open.

In this episode, we dive into what it means to reclaim Mother’s Day in a way that feels true, healing, and empowering. Julie shares how she’s reshaping the day for herself. We also talk about Pink is Just a Colour, our children's book series, with a special spotlight on Special Days—a book that invites families to celebrate all kinds of meaningful moments in ways that make sense for them. Whether you love Mother’s Day or find it complicated, this conversation opens it all up!

We have not done this in a while! In this episode Caz and I share three things which have changed our lives lately - as usual we end up going down all sorts of rabbit holes and the last one is very much a joint one! Enjoy!

We’re replaying this episode because—yet again—it’s school holidays here in New Zealand and both myself and Caz are right in the thick of it. This is a conversation that runs so much deeper than it appears on the surface. In this episode, I tackle the huge, hard topic of how our systems are failing mothers. Be warned—it’s confronting. I unpack the gender pay gap, occupational segregation, and the reasons women return to work, don’t return, or leave the workforce altogether. I explore the long...

In this episode Caz and I chat about her transition to being a school mum - juggling all the balls, dropping them, the utter insanity of school hours and some much needed laughs (which really is the best therapy).

Not long after our deep dive into the viral bullying video Julie found herself in a similar situation. In this episode we talk about what happened, how it was (or was not) managed and where to from here.

In this podcast I share my first CrossFit Open with you - the roller coaster of ups ands downs - this is not really about CrossFit but about deeper conversations around doing something just for you, taking on a challenge that you don't feel ready for, the thoughts and feelings that are familiar to so many of us "can I do this?" and "it all feels too hard"....then how you feel on the other side

This week's episode is all about Caz!! She has made not just one but two big decisions for herself and her life - this is a deep, moving, vulnerable, loving episode which you will not help but be inspired by.
