In this Raw and Real Conversations episode, Julie and Sonia talk honestly about what it means to “fill your cup” as a woman, especially when life feels like a constant juggle.We explore the guilt that can come with taking time for yourself, the ways we ignore our own needs, and why self-care is not just bubble baths and massages—it’s about honouring your energy, your boundaries, and your worth.If you’ve ever felt drained, resentful, or like you’ve lost touch with what you need, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Raw and Real , Julie and Sonia dive deep into the unspoken rules, beliefs, and expectations we carry into motherhood—often without even realising it.

From people-pleasing to putting everyone else’s needs before our own, we explore how generational conditioning shapes the way we show up as parents and women. Why do we feel guilty when we choose differently than our parents did? How much of what we do is truly our choice, and how much is inherited?

This is a real, unfiltered conversation about the personas we take on—often unconsciously—and the journey of starting to parent from a place of awareness, not obligation. If you’ve ever felt torn between what feels right for you and what’s been expected of you, this one’s for you.

No scripts, no filters—just two women talking honestly about the messy, beautiful truth of parenting and identity.

In this episode, we explore how parents can be dysfunctionally participate in their child's sport. We dive into the value of sports as a tool for life lessons—teaching resilience, teamwork, and discipline—while also unpacking the pressure parents sometimes place on kids to succeed in sports based on their own beliefs or expectations. So how can we support our child’s growth without pushing them to play for the wrong reasons, and allow sports to be an empowering experience for them, regardless of the outcome?
