Show Notes
How many times a day do you find yourself comparing your cooking skills, parenting, careers, marriage, wrinkles, handbags and everything else in between with others? If you don't, well, you're only 10% of the female population. Over 90% of women say they compare themselves, their success (or lack of it) with others. Women are also more likely to compare what they don't have versus what they do have - leading to a feeling of inadequacy, discrepancy or failure. This is despite the fact that we all know social media is a series of highlight reels, and we never truly know what is going on behind closed doors. So, we're advocating for more transparency and authenticity in how we portray our lives, more empathy over envy, and using people's success as both reason for celebration (after all, one woman's success is a gain for all women!) and for inspiration to push ourselves forward.

Nobody tells you that the newborn experience you had with your first child will look nothing like the one that comes next. Different baby, different season of life, different version of you and sometimes, a completely different world.
You can love your child more than you have ever loved anything in your entire life and find it really, really hard at the same time. You can not want to be apart from your baby for a single second and also be desperately counting down to bedtime.
We are not tech people. We are not AI experts. We are two full time working mums who stumbled onto a few things that have genuinely changed how we manage our lives and we could not keep them to ourselves.
There has never been more parenting advice, more research or more content available to us than right now. And yet parents feel more lost, more overwhelmed and more judged than ever before.
Quick heads up - this one gets spicy so pop your headphones in if little ears are around.
