It's Not Us, It's Them
Notas do episódio
This week Beth is feeling the full speed rush of motherhood as her eldest seems to be growing at an offensively fast pace, leaving us asking: how exactly are we meant to slow down when life feels permanently set to x2 speed? Which naturally spirals us into the chaos of online life — community and connection on one hand, complete over-accessibility on the other. Are we over-checking in? Is it chronic or cute? Hard to say. And yes, before anyone tells us to touch grass… we know. We bought the brick, we’re just not emotionally ready to unpack it yet.
Meanwhile Lil has absolutely unravelled after her toddler both taking a tumble and getting a haircut in the same week. Too much change. Too much growth. Frankly the fragile postpartum heart was not built for tiny curls hitting the salon floor. Take my eyesight, sure. But not my baby’s curls.
If things are feeling heavy, please reach out to your GP, maternal child health nurse or The Gidget Foundation Australia.
This week we’re recommending two elite zucchini slices — RecipeTin Eats Zucchini Slice and Krumbled Foods Cheesy Zucchini Slice and for the love of God, cook ya bloody bacon.
Lil is loving Milk & Bloom Lactation Cookies, Beth is recommending Dr Siggie for all things parenting, and when the stars align, she’s squeezing in an episode of The Day of the Jackal.
As always, thank you Glimmer Girlies. Wherever this episode finds you — we’re so glad you’re here.
