One year into this podcast and we've made the decision to hang the boots up to pursue something much bigger! We want to thank each and everyone one of you for tuning in, messaging us and creating this awesome little community. Although this podcast will be coming to an end, you can still find us active on instagram and follow to see what we have in store next.

But for now, this is farewell...

In this episode we dabble on the topic of sleep; a massive issue if you're a FIFO work or parents of a newborn... or both! We chat about a few different things that help you get the best possible rest, along with invasive cleaners and "naughty" neighbours.
As per usual, for any feedback or questions you can hit us up on Insta @justafifofam

We hope you enjoy the epsiode!

Have you ever reached that point in your life where you've said "there's more for me out there than this". Have you ever taken action on those instincts?
Work, home life, relationships... they can all reach a point where they feel stagnant and not developing into anything more. We are at the point where we've started making plans to live the best life we can for our family and taking the leap into something exciting (and scary at the same time).
Along with that, we chat about the struggles of returning to work after a stint of annual leave, and we do a quick recap of how heat affects workers underground and what you can do to combat heat stress.

We hope you enjoy the episode!!

What's that? Kicking off 2022 with a double episode?!

We know you're all sick of hearing about the 'vid, but we share about how it cut our holiday short last week and by going into it with lower expectations, we were surprised how much fun we had without trying to make everything perfect! And a FIFO Fam episode wouldn't be complete without a little barny at the end of the episode!

For any questions, feedback or any caravan recommendations, hit us up on Instagram @justafifofam. We look forward to hearing from you and we hope you enjoy this episode.

Better late than never but WE ARE BACK! We hope you have all had a good kickstart to the New Year and haven't given up on your resolutions already! In this one we go through about why we took a bit of break and our outlook on the year ahead! It's so good to be back behind the mic and we are looking forward to showing you what we have in store for this year!

For any questions, feedback or just to say gday, you can find us on Instagram @justafifofam. We look forward to hearing from you and we hope you enjoy this episode.

Basically quoting Kevin Bloody Wilson here, but for the last week it was very fitting!
This episode is just touching base on why we've been a bit quiet and what we're currently going through with sickness, grieving, stress among many other things. Life gets tough when you're working FIFO and lack of face to face communication definitely doesn't make things much easier when all you want to do is be there to help each other!

From 5-Star resorts to dingy little one bed "studio units" we've gone on a few holidays with the little ones! In this episode we cover all types of accommodation and travel we've used with (and without) the kids and how we manage it all in our FIFO lifestyle! If there's anything we've missed or any suggestions you have for travelling with kids we'd love to hear from you on Insta @justafifofam

FIFO life is a 2-way street with a young family. Everyone talks about dad working away, but the work that mum does to keep the fort running at home often gets swept under the rug. Not getting paid for the work of being a mum (or getting any super), putting their career on hold and just generally being on call 24/7; being a FIFO mum isn’t an easy gig! We discuss the misconceptions made about stay-at-home mums especially the “sitting around the house all day” comment and a lot of the other issues FIFO mums face!

This episode is all about investing in things that make your life easier or to better yourself! Whether it is investing in yourself and your relationships, things for around home to help with jobs, or just completely handballing off your jobs and paying someone else to do it; we’ve got it covered!
If you have made any investments to improve your life, we’d love to hear from you on Instagram @justafifofam . We hope you enjoy this episode!

So after a week off the mic, we are back with a brand spankin' new episode!
You know when you just go through a rough patch when nothing seems to go right? Your bank account goes backwards, you start eating shitty food, everyone in the household is constantly sick? The list goes on! Well we are just coming through the other side one of those patches and we are just beginning to pick up the ball and get things back on track!
I'm sure a lot of you have been in this position so plug in, have a listen and we hope you enjoy!

As a FIFO Family we go a decent amount of time without seeing each other, so when we do get some quality time together we try to make the most of it! This episode is all about planning holidays and getaways while working FIFO. We chat about making the most of our time on our week off, working around taking leave when your partner works a weekday job at home, and dragging the kids along with you as well!

We’d love to hear about your holidays and how you manage to squeeze a bit of time off in your busy FIFO schedules! Send us a message or say hello @justafifofam on Instagram!

Pregnancy. It can be the most amazing thing; the excitement of growing this tiny human, thinking of names, setting up their room and picking out clothes. But it also comes with a lot of struggles, especially when your partner works away for multiple weeks at a time in remote areas with bugger all phone signal.
We discuss the struggle of lining up cycles with our weeks off, the feeling of not being able to help while you’re away, being pregnant during a pandemic, the list goes on!
On top of all of that… when the fuck do you tell your partner?! Do you get too excited and tell them while they’re away or wait till they get home so you can surprise them in person?

As per usual our inbox is always open so feel free to flick us a message with any questions or feedback on Instagram @justafifofam

In this episode, we discuss some of the dietary changes we're making and also some of the challenges we're going to face during the work weeks. We talk about how we're cutting out meat products, trying alternative milks and some of the supplements we use to support our lifestyle. As always we love hearing from you all so if you have any advice, feedback or suggestions, hit us up on Instagram @justafifofam

In this episode we pick up where we left up from Episode 22 and continue our story of our experience with miscarriage. We chat about jumping between living arrangements, the comedown afterwards, and trying to conceive again; all while working a mining roster. Again, we understand this can be an uncomfortable subject to discuss, but we have found talking about it a lot of other people have gone through similar situations and can be great support.

If anyone wants to get in touch for any questions, feeback, or just a chat, the best way to reach us is on Instagram @justafifofam 

In this episode we share our story with our experience with miscarriage, easily the lowest point we've fought through in our relationship. There's honestly not much more to write about here, there's a lot of people that have gone through similar situations but this is our story and we feel it is healthy to share and talk about something that has been commonly known as a taboo topic.

So have a listen to part 1 of our chat, and we will release part 2 next week! If anyone wants to get in contact, the best way to reach us is @justafifofam on Instagram

In this episode we tackle some of the questions that some of our Instagram followers have sent in, ranging from why we started the podcast through to making the most of our time off! We regularly put up opportunities for you to write in and ask questions but our inbox is always open @justafifofam if you want to hit us up! Hope you enjoy!

So, this episode was planned a bit differently but at the time of recording this is what we were going through. Losing someone close to you is hard enough, let alone trying to keep it together through a lockdown and being a FIFO family. We have a chat about how we're going at the moment managing the grieving process and the little things we're trying to do to keep moving along in our lives.

I've ditched Kayla for this episode and caught up with my good mate Patto. He is all-round one of the most selfless people I know, dedicating his time and effort to so many great causes.
I worked with Patto for many years and we formed a great friendship through red wine, good banter, and being there for each other through very unfortunate circumstances.
We talk about becoming a dad, the importance of mateship and putting your mental wellbeing first, and plenty of other things that can begin to help you bounce back from rock bottom.
No one should have to battle their demons alone and there is always someone that will listen and help you through the tough times. 
The best way to get in touch with us is @justafifofam on Instagram, and our inbox is always open so please if you need to chat about anything don't hesitate to send us a message.
We hope you enjoy this episode.

From postpartum bodies, dad bods, and trucky guts, we chat about our experiences with all of these and the importance of being in a healthy headspace no matter what you look like. 

We tend to drop the ball every now and then on our nutrition and exercise consistency but we're always aware when we're in a rut and are constantly trying to work on our own physical and mental well-being, along with eating nutritious foods. 

We hope you enjoy this episode and for any questions or feedback you can find us on Insta @justafifofam

Holy moly we're up to episode 17.
In this episode we are talking very simple and basic ways to be more eco-friendly in your life and home. We are far from eco warriors ourselves but are continually learning and trying to do better so tonight's episode is all about starting the conversation and gaining more knowledge for ourselves and others.
