The final Monday waffle for Lisa Ja(y)ne & Jessica Ruthie
Hello friends! We're back for what will likely be the last podcast between us for the rest of the year. For reasons you'd know, we're glad to see the back end of 2024, and are hopeful for a better 2025. It's been a f**king hell of a year, and one that has hit like a tonne of tortuous bricks (which is an understatement). I just want to take a moment to acknowledge Leece and her ability to show up here most weeks, in the midst of a year where it would be quite nice to hide away underground until the sun was shining brighter and things were lighter again. In some ways delivering the podcast each week has been a sort of cathartic task to do together - finding lightness in the day to day where things have often felt only grey. By the time we finish our recording each week, while the sky mightn't be brighter (figuratively or literally), we benefit from it every time. And without you, there'd be no need to do it, so thank you so much for your listens, downloads, support, DMs, thoughts, musings and waffle in reply. We bloody love it all. Be back soon xx

What is in a name? & a side of nits, thrush & pink eye
Hey pals, we've impressed even ourselves in making it back to the mic after what was a fairly topsy turvy week. It was so good to debrief today after an eventful time - recording the podcast is always therapeutic for us and we appreciate you for coming along for the ride. In this episode we're waffling away on a few things - from naming kids to the weeks synopsis for the Fongs, the pressures of Christmas, phones, social media and kids again, and sparkle spreaders like Elf on the Shelf or rather no sign of the Elf (*triggered*). Thanks for being here; all of you, no matter your name!!!! Love from Lisa Jayne and Jessica Ruthie xx

Tears and two grumpy moles
Hey pals, thank you for sticking with us, in what is often a bit of a treacherous or difficult listen - this episode being of no exception. We actually hit the mic both feeling a little grim and grumpy, and as a result kinda moan a lot. SORRY. Although, is this a new thing, or standard? Kinda unsure. One positive is that Leece has reigned in the use of profanities so that's a classy win (Jess not so). We seem to dive here there and every where today (def standard), from why we're grumpy, the podcast awards, where we'd rather be, school holidays and kid conflict, rules, rigmaroles and so on. The other positive is we actually have sparkle spreaders so, we'll take the wins where we can. It always stumps us that we have thousands of you listen to these episodes, and that fact will continue to floor us week on week. But, we're just so grateful. This is somewhat therapeutic for us and so we're pleased you enjoy coming along for the ride. Love, xo

Quite a bit of bum chat - soz - kinda sums up the week.
Surpriiiiiiise! We thought we wouldn't make it today however the plans changed, so here we are. A bit of a sh*tty weekend for the Fongs, full of stress and worry, and Leece was meant to be in Brisbane today. But, a little last minute things changed course, which meant we were able to get here when a few hours prior we thought we couldn't! Celebrating that. So, as a result of the events that have unfolded in the past week, we're not full beans today with a huge amount to offer but 'it is what it is', as they say. Lots of the chat centred around Dan and what's been happening, the current situation and everything that's going down. With a little bit of constipation chat in the mix the word 'ass' seems to occur A LOT so, take this as your warning.

A tearful start; the only way is up.
Kia ora pals, another week and here we are. We start today's episode talking about Leece's mindset this morning and current struggles - of which, as you can appreciate, there are many and so it's a bit of a sombre start. In amongst this though we discuss the power of Move it Mama and community - and how blessed are we (that includes you, our listeners). Over the weekend we put out a Q&A to our social media and so in the rest of the episode we answer a series of random questions. Including but not limited to (!) - protein powder chat, an update on Leece's knee, parenting four year old boys and subsequent tips, fav foods/cuisines/snacks, motivation when life's tough, the notion of 'when I feel crap, I look crap, what can I do', and how to survive the silly season. On reflection the silly season answer is perhaps quite a stoic stance but we hope and trust you'll hear what we're saying. Love you guys, thankful every day. Connection - this is it.
