#10 On the Other Side: Jo & Amy

We've spent this season listening to many stories of 'the other side', so to wrap up the first season of the podcast we thought... why not share our own? 

#9 On The Other Side: Homeschooling with Laverne Fox

Have you ever thought about homeschooling your children? Amy certainly has, and we know many other parents have wondered if it would be the right fit for their families! Laverne has homeschooled her four children and shares insight as to why she and her husband decided to do so, and why they loved it. It's an encouraging episode, even for those without the intention of making the same decision! Enjoy!

#8 On The Other Side: Financial Stress with James Hensley

Did you know that 4 in 10 families are currently experiencing financial stress right now in Australia?

James joins us to share his experience of 18 years of financial stress in his marriage and family life, and how they got to the other side of it! 

#7 Parenting Expectations with Amy & Jo

This week Amy & Jo discuss what they thought parenting would be like versus what the reality is! 

#6 On The Other Side: Postpartum Depression with Amanda Macaulay

If you or someone you know is facing postpartum depression in Australia, there are dedicated resources available to provide assistance. Reach out to your general practitioner or a maternal and child health nurse for guidance on accessing mental health support tailored to your needs.
