Show Notes

Millie Manifested this episodes guest. We were at the launch of the new Blueys World in Brisbane and standing behind us was EMMA Wiggle! As Emma Memma stood behind us ready to go on stage Millie whispered, 'do you think I could ask her to be on the podcast when she is finished'.. We have a policy that the worst anyone can say is NO, and No isn't a bad word so never be afraid to ask anyone anything. So when Emma Memma finished her performance we lined up for a photo and asked her the question and here she is today For those that don’t know, although I suspect we barely need to do an introduction for. Emma Watkins aka Emma Memma, but Emma is now perhaps Australia's most famous and favorite children's entertainer, dancer, singer, author and television presenter. She is best known as the first female member of the children's group The Wiggles. Due to her popularity in the group, she starred in her own spinoff series as a solo Wiggles performer, titled Emma!. After departing the group, she debuted her own children's entertainment character, Emma Memma. She released her first solo children's music album in 2022 which received an ARIA Award for Best Children's Album in 2023. She has also appeared in reality television shows like including The Masked Singer, The Amazing Race Australia and a Christmas special of Lego Masters Australia. She narrated the children's series Reef School, and hosted Teenage Boss: Next Level in 2024. And that's just some of her achievements. She is perfect to be a Move Over Mama mentor and we are so thrilled she said YES!

Why do we keep choosing the same type of person — even when those relationships don't work out? In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with love coach and author Belinda Love to uncover the hidden patterns that can shape who we fall for, how we behave in relationships, and why we sometimes repeat the same mistakes without even realising it. Belinda opens up about her own experiences with heartbreak, being rejected on national television on The Bachelor Australia, difficult relationships, and the childhood experiences that shaped her own beliefs about love. We dive into: • What a “love imprint” actually is • How childhood experiences can shape our future relationships • Why we can repeat unhealthy relationship patterns • Belinda's experience of being abandoned by her first love • Walking in on a partner cheating with her best friend • How heartbreak can affect the way we see ourselves • Why we sometimes choose people who aren't right for us • How to recognise your own relationship patterns • Learning to stop looking externally for validation • How to build healthier relationships • Advice for teenagers experiencing their first heartbreak • How to know whether someone is actually right for you • Breaking the cycles we inherit from our parents This episode is honest, vulnerable, funny and incredibly relatable — especially if you've ever wondered why you seem to keep ending up in the same relationship patterns. If you've ever had your heart broken, struggled to let someone go, or wondered why you keep choosing the wrong people… this one's for you. 💗 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this.

What does a healthy teenage relationship actually look like — and how can you tell when something has crossed the line from love into control? In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with psychologist, violence-prevention and bystander-education expert Shaan Ross Smith to unpack the conversations every teenager — and every parent — should be having about relationships, consent, boundaries and red flags. From controlling behaviour that can initially look romantic, to phone passwords, location sharing, jealousy, isolation and social media, Shaan explains what healthy relationships should feel like and what friends and parents can look out for when something doesn't seem right.

In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with mother and daughter duo Nadine and Taylah Steedman to uncover the real story behind one of Australia's most loved social media families. If you're on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, there's a good chance you've seen the Steedman family lip-syncing, dressing up, pranking each other and convincing Mum and Dad to get involved in yet another video. But behind the millions of views is a much deeper story about family, motherhood, breaking generational cycles and creating the kind of home your children never want to leave. Nadine opens up about getting married at just 17 years old, starting life with almost nothing, and the powerful experiences that shaped the family she was determined to build. Together, Nadine and Taylah share what life is really like behind the cameras, how their family handles fame and social media, and why being genuinely close to your family has become one of the biggest reasons people connect with them. We dive into: • Getting married at just 17 years old • Starting a life together with almost nothing • The story behind the famous Steedman family • How social media changed their lives • What happens behind the cameras • Breaking generational cycles • Raising children who actually want to be around their parents • The importance of being present as a mum • Why their family chooses to stay close together • The pressures and boundaries of sharing your life online • Why followers don't automatically have the right to know everything • How social media has shown them just how lucky they are to have each other One of the most powerful moments of the episode comes when Nadine shares the message one of her children sent her: “Thank you for giving us a life, Mum, that we've never had to heal ourselves from.” This episode is funny, honest, emotional and a beautiful reminder that family doesn't have to be perfect to be special — and that sometimes the greatest thing you can do is break a cycle and create something better for the generations that come after you. If you've ever wanted a closer relationship with your family, wondered what really happens behind the scenes of social media, or believed that your childhood doesn't have to define the family you create in the future… this one's for you. 💗 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this.

In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with Gold Coast creator Happy Allan to uncover the real story behind one of Australia's most unexpected social media success stories. Known for shoving cream buns into his face and making millions of people laugh, Happy Allan has turned a completely random talent into a career — but there's a lot more to his story than viral food videos. From growing up as the "naughty" ADHD kid at school and being raised by a single mum, to discovering his ADHD as an adult, surviving testicular cancer, and eventually turning a three-minute cream bun video into one million views in just 10 hours, Happy opens up about the experiences that shaped who he is today. We dive into: • Growing up as the class clown and ADHD kid • Being raised by a single mum • Realising later in life how hard his mum worked for him • Discovering ADHD and understanding himself differently • The struggles of being an undiagnosed ADHD teenager • Being diagnosed with testicular cancer • The moment doctors told him he had an aggressive form of cancer • How a random cream bun challenge went viral • Getting 1 million views in just 10 hours • Turning social media into a full-time career • The reality behind being a content creator • Learning to embrace who you are • Advice for teenagers about stress, mental health and the future Happy also opens up about the importance of living in the moment rather than constantly worrying about what comes next — something he wishes he could have told his teenage self. This episode is hilarious, honest, emotional and a powerful reminder that sometimes the things that make you feel different can become the very things that make you successful. If you've ever felt like the "naughty kid", struggled to understand yourself, worried too much about the future, or wondered whether being completely yourself could actually become your greatest strength… this one's for you. 💗 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this.
