It’s that time again: schools out, kids are home, and the juggle just got real.

In this episode of Heart Full, Mind Heavy, we’re talking about surviving the summer holidays while keeping your sanity, your business, and your mental health afloat.

From the mum guilt of wanting to create magical memories while also needing a minute to breathe, to the reality of working with kids around, we share what’s helped us (and what hasn’t), along with practical, real-life strategies for managing the chaos.

We’re also chatting about:
✨ Supporting kids with big feelings when routines disappear
✨ The pressure to entertain 24/7 and why “good enough” is enough
✨ Navigating social media comparison and summer holiday perfection
✨ Low-cost, low-energy activities that buy you time without guilt

Whether you’re planning Pinterest-level days out or just hoping to make it to September in one piece, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone, and it’s okay to do summer your way.

In this episode of Heart Full, Mind Heavy, we’re switching perspectives and stepping into Dad mode.

We sit down with Will Rye, who shares his journey from entrepreneurship to fatherhood, and what it’s really like to navigate the messy, magical, and often overwhelming world of parenting from the other side of the fence.

We talk about how becoming a dad changed his priorities, the mental load men carry but often don’t talk about, and the unexpected challenges that came with balancing business, identity, and family life.

From sleepless nights to moments of joy (and a few honest confessions), this conversation is a refreshing look into fatherhood, mental health, and the pressures dads face but often keep quiet.

Whether you’re a mum wanting to understand your partner’s experience, a dad figuring it out, or someone curious about the reality behind the “provider” role, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Heart Full, Mind Heavy, we’re opening up about something many of us face but rarely say out loud: taking medication for our mental health, and the shame that often comes with it.

We chat about what it’s really like to start medication, the fear of what others might think, and the quiet guilt that can come even when you know it’s helping. We explore how cultural expectations, mum guilt, and the “just try harder” mindset keep so many women suffering in silence, and why we need to normalise conversations about medication as a valid, life-changing part of mental health support.

From antidepressants and anxiety meds to the pressure to “fix it naturally,” we’re sharing our own journeys, what helped us, and what we wish more people understood.

If you’ve ever felt like reaching for help makes you weak, or if you’re curious but scared to take that first step, this episode is your reminder: needing support doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re human.
