This week we’re diving into DIY Aesthetics & Anaesthetics — because nothing says “self-care” like questionable home DIY and a side of gossip that’ll numb you faster than lidocaine - pour yourself that glass of vino and ENJOY from the comfort of your own DIY home :)

This week, it’s all about boundaries — or as we like to call it, the art of the polite 'nope' - We’re chatting about why mums struggle to say no, how to do it without a guilt hangover, and how “sorry, I can’t” can actually be self-care in disguise.

Warning: may cause side effects like free time and slightly improved sanity.

We’re talking Overstimulation — and no, not that kind. This one’s about waking up our adult brains after too many hours of Peppa Pig and snack negotiations. From finding excitement beyond laundry piles to remembering what actual fun feels like, we’re reigniting the spark (in our minds, at least). Tune in for laughs, a little chaos, and a reminder that we’re still humans under the parenting layers.

This week, we’re talking The Cost of Family Living — and honestly, it’s not just our wallets crying. Between $8 milk, never-ending lunchbox snacks, Halloween, Easter and Christmas and the emotional toll of pretending you’re fine at checkout, parenting in 2025 is… expensive.
We’re breaking down the real cost of raising a family — money, time, sanity — and asking: is it normal to budget for both groceries and a mental health day?

Episode 5: Digital Motherhood – Navigating Mum Life in the Age of WiFi 📱☕

Welcome to modern motherhood—where the WiFi is strong but the juggle is real. In this episode of House of Coffee & Chaos, Kat and Flick explore the highs and lows of digital motherhood: raising kids in a world of screens, social media, and constant connection.

We chat about:

• Surviving mum life in the digital age

• The pressure of Instagram-perfect parenting vs reality

• Online mum groups, Google diagnoses & endless parenting advice

• How technology helps (and hinders) mums trying to balance it all

If you’ve ever hidden in the pantry scrolling TikTok, relied on Google for parenting hacks, or compared yourself to mums online—this one’s for you.

Episode 4: The Identity Shift of Motherhood 🌸✨

This week on House of Coffee & Chaos, Kat and Flick unpack one of the biggest transformations mums face: the identity shift in motherhood. From the moment your baby arrives, everything changes—your body, your mindset, your priorities, and sometimes even your sense of self.

We explore:

• The postpartum identity crisis no one prepares you for

• Balancing the old “you” with the new “mum you”

• The mental, emotional, and physical shifts that come with motherhood

• Why mums are the ultimate shape-shifters, and how to embrace the change

If you’ve ever wondered “who even am I anymore?” while navigating nappies, coffee, and chaos—this episode will make you feel seen.

Episode 3: Mum Guilt – The Struggle is Real 💔☕

Every mum knows the feeling—mum guilt sneaks in whether you’re working, staying home, missing a school event, or just craving five minutes of peace. In this episode of House of Coffee & Chaos, Kat and Flick get real about the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood guilt.

We unpack:

• Where mum guilt comes from and why it never seems to leave

• The pressure to be the “perfect mum” in a world of Instagram highlights

• Funny, relatable moments when mum guilt has totally taken over

• Practical ways we try (and sometimes fail) to let go of the guilt

If you’ve ever felt torn between career, kids, and self-care—this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone in the chaos.

In this episode of House of Coffee & Chaos, we dive into the hilarious reality of baby brain, the chaos of Father’s Day with kids, and those unforgettable parenting fails we’ve all experienced. From forgetting the simplest things thanks to mum-life brain fog, to celebrating dads who deserve a medal for surviving the circus, we keep it real (and really funny).

Expect honest stories, laugh-out-loud moments, and plenty of relatability for mums and dads in the thick of parenting. If you’ve ever left the house with two left shoes, bought the wrong gift for Father’s Day, or had a parenting fail that still makes you cringe—this one’s for you.

✨ Perfect for parents who need a laugh, mums navigating the chaos, and dads who want to know they’re not alone.
