Show notes

Most parents are barely hanging on yet in the chaos, real connection and resilience shine through.

In this raw, hilarious debut, Elissa and Haidee peel back the layers of motherhood, neurodivergence, grief, and friendship, all over a glass of gin. Discover how two women navigating life’s chaos find strength in honesty, humor, and each other’s support, without sugarcoating the hard stuff.

This episode is for parents, caregivers, and anyone tired of the glossy filtered version of life online. If you’re craving authentic stories that remind you you’re not alone, you’ll want to listen from start to finish. Expect humor, honesty, and a whole lot of heart (plus an occasional swear word or two).

With Elissa, a dedicated advocate working with sporting clubs and supporting her neurodiverse kids, and Haidee, a passionate supporter of mental health and a football-loving mum balancing work and family chaos, they prove that life’s messiness is where real connection lives.

Join the conversation if you're ready for the truth behind the perfect Instagram feed and stories about resilience, grief, and friendship in the trenches. Perfect for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed but refuses to give up. And if you thought having a glass of gin makes life easier, you're in for a treat. Because after the gin settles, these two sisters unpack the week’s wins, losses, and everything in between — raw, funny, and completely real.
