- when it became apparent that one of her twins had a serious medical issue
- the rollercoaster of medical events that ensued, and how she navigated having one twin in hospital and the other ready for home
- feelings of anxiety and how being a psychiatrist doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t face challenges
- the importance of being a “good enough mum” and how we can do this
- and so much more!

Today’s episode was brought to you by Mingle. We all need to take short cuts sometimes (or often!) as mums, and Mingle has created the perfect shortcut for meal times with their 30 minute meal blends. Unlike a lot of the old- school pantry brands, Mingle’s blends have no nasties at all – no added sugar, no added flour, vegetable oils, or high amounts of sodium – making them not only delicious, but perfect for the whole family. Luka has been loving their butter chicken, and Kate is too indecisive to pick just one favourite, but has been a long time fan of the brand! If you’re like Kate and can’t pick a fave, then why not try their Dinner Hero 30 Minute Meal Pack, which contains 20 sachets + the tuscan chicken spice blend.
