We honestly cannot believe we are saying this but it is happening .. Demi and her family are moving to Perth!
In this episode we chat about everything behind the big move, how it came about, what led to the decision and how Demi (and her mum) are feeling as it all sinks in.
We also talk about what this means for Missta and how things will run with Demi living interstate and in a completely different time zone (fun times ahead).
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it! 💕

In this heartfelt and sensitive episode, Nicole Bowman shares her journey following another failed surrogacy transfer, and the painful breakdown of her surrogacy relationship. With deep respect and gratitude for her surrogate, Nicole retells this chapter of her story with honesty and care.
This episode explores themes of surrogacy, fertility struggles, relationship challenges, and loss, and it reflects Nicole’s personal version of events. Nicole shares this now because the experience has been too painful to constantly retell each time someone asks, and she is finally ready to put her truth into words.
Please be mindful when listening, as this conversation touches on sensitive and emotional topics for both parties.

After a much-too-long break (thanks, life!), the Missta Mums are finally back behind the mics! In this catch-up ep, Demi and Mel spill all the chaos that’s kept them from recording!
From Demi's house full of sicknesses, battling everything from the flu, slap cheek to Scarlett fever and gastro, to Mitch’s shoulder surgery and the usual school holiday madness.
Demi shares how she’s been feeling completely overwhelmed (can anyone relate?), and Mel opens up about her emotions after hearing from her daughters prep teacher that Penelope was “behind” in reading! (Mel naturally went into a mental spiral and Demi helped her see it in a whole new light)
Plus, the girls give a behind-the-scenes update on all things Missta , including what’s been brewing while they've been off the pod.
You’ve missed us... and we’ve missed YOU.
So excited to get back into it!

his episode is one for the books.
We sit down with the incredible Amie Rohan as she shares her raw, powerful, and never-before-heard birth story—and trust us, you’ll want to hear every second.
After two caesareans, Amie never imagined she’d be attempting a vaginal birth. But when the opportunity suddenly appeared, she found herself facing a mix of excitement, nerves, and trust in her body’s ability to do what it was made for. She takes us through every gripping moment—right up until she meets baby Archie.
But that’s not all—Amie also opens up about life after divorce, rediscovering herself, and navigating love again on her own terms.
Don’t miss it.
