Pets, injuries, GLP-1s, "is this it?" and smut

We had suggested we'd come back last week with a follow up episode but when we heard crickets and the week ran away with us we decided, we'll save it for Monday. We're glad we did as the chat seemed to flow today. We had few tense moments in the last week which we dissect on the pod. As you'll find out, it was nothing major at all and just goes to show we've got progress in some form. We talk about a fair bit today from an American intro and our love to the pets to sport injuries and infected toes, an article on black market peptides (we're not experts - we're just yapping about scenarios) to feeling flat and asking the question "is this it" to being sparky and reading spicy smut. Lots to cover and a few lols. We love you for listening. PS - regarding the peptide discussion, we are not experts on this topic and our discussion is just about the 'murky' nature of the discussion and the different ways people in our outer circles seem to be using them. The key point we missed saying is that black market peptides are unregulated and haven't been approved. A reminder too to only listen in on this if this is not a triggering conversation for you.

High level recap (all hail the buffet breakfast)

Hello! Back to the mic after a week sat poolside in Fiji. We are feeling so blessed and grateful for the week we've just had. We honestly didn't think it would ever leave the group chat and in fact it barely even made the group chat because we were too superstitious to give it any air-time. There have been a few battles going on for the family and getting together for our first overseas trip together was literal heaven on earth. We know how lucky we are and we're feeling it, even if we're somewhat blue now that we've exited the buffet breakfast. In saying that though, the group chat now being open to any topic with zero superstition is one silver lining. Today we naturally chat high level about Fiji, as well as go over some other questions we received through social media. We feel we may hit you back with a follow up episode this week as we kind of feel the need to yap some more about the detail. Leece did a doozy and didn't bring in her laptop charger today so... be back soon!

Tech drama, Father's Day KFC, kid quirks, bye-bye smut and more.

Back at it for another week with a long-winded episode of waffle. We got to the end of this feeling like we'd spent a long time talking about not that much so, enjoy the dulcet tones while you clean the house/go for the walk/drive to your next destination. We love that you're here for it. We dissect a fair bit this morning - from Leece's current technology/appliance woes, to coffee and floss etiquette, kids and their unique traits, quite a positive Father's Day experience all-round and a fair bit of other - to be quite frank - mindless chatter. We really hope to be in Fiji next week so if we are, we'll miss the podcast - but, we'll be back before you know it (and hopefully that's *NOT* next week as that means shit's hit the fan - we're feeling superstitious). See you soon and thanks for your downloads. Who's with us on the roast dinner by the way?

Resuming normal programming

HELLO! We're back. Another week on the waffly pod with quite a lot to say. Jess is back from a month away so there is a lot to dissect - from movies and plane etiquette to UK coffee culture, a French heatwave complete with bites, travelling with kids and more. We run through a list of highlights that naturally seem to simultaneously highlight the lowlights, for what ends up being just one big post-trip purge of a conversation. Leece talks to an eventful 24 hours including oldest son Rico in the ED, Louis and his rugby games and the pet budgie. We are happy to be back in each other's company today and Jess irrationally excited to be alone. Thank you for your ongoing support to the podcast and for your listening ears xx To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz Join the Move it Mama app on the App Store here and the Google Play store here

A preggy Ainslie joins Leece

Got Ainslie on the mic today and as per we started with a few tech difficulties but got there in the end. Ainslie is our resident Yoga instructor who I met in 2018. I take her and you and myself on a bit of journey! We discuss her as a 15 year old boarding school brat, being a rousie on the farm and hooking up with the local shepherd, studying to be a vet tech, losing her period for seven years and how she healed her body and mind to where she is today - navigating motherhood and pregnant with her second babe. Loved this chat and I’m sure you all will enjoy it too, especially if you’ve worked out with her in the past. Thanks for listening and thanks for joining me Ainslie babe. Appreciate you, and our listeners. PS - Ains has a moment settling Bodhi around 20-25 minutes in, so please bear with us as we flit about our chat a bit!

Char round 2 - sexy names, sexuality & introverted extroverts

Well we are back and wow what fun to be recording two times this week with Jessy’s womb mate. Thrills. Loved this chat a lot and know you guys will too. Have not mastered writing down as we speak yet (lol) - but from memory we discuss sexy names, sexuality, introverted extroverts, finding joy (common topic) looking forward to things but actually making sure we look forward to today cos who knows what we are promised tomorrow. If anyone’s going through tough times we pray and hope the sun will come out for you soon x To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz Join the Move it Mama app on the App Store here and the Google Play store here

Char & Leece - a big mixed bag

Well, a big old mixed bag today. We didn't have enough time so we have told you, our listeners - that if you want a bonus episode this week with part two of Leece and Char - please come forward! Otherwise, here's the low down. We discuss: what is in a name? and learning to spell and like the name Lisa. Life without my boss (aka Jess) and feeling one step ahead but desp deep down missing her and grateful she's set up social media so I can do an okay job in her absence. Char taps into what Leece has been doing, from budgies to girls weekends and all asleep by 10pm. to cleaning the pits and the puss (LOL), to hope, faith and love - how's that for a tangent? Together we talk about the dark times and how prayer has helped so much; how community helps so much and what we remember about our darkest days when Dan fell sick. About perspective and wishing we had them before life got 'hard' (if only?). Appreciating life NOW before it can change and becomes harder, but if you're in the depths of turmoil right now just have faith that the sun will shine again. Char also talks about being in her head a bit and then we discuss the challenges of having one child and being their person. Remember, if you want us back for a bonus episode you have to message! Love and thank you for all for listening, Leece and Char.

Sarah/Hobbsy - work, books, Stan, Sophia, Noo + Dan update

Hello! Another surprise wee episode with another very special guest - sis in law Sarah Mizzi aka trainer Hobbsy. This chat comes with a trigger warning as things become quite heavy discussing Sarah's angel daughter Sophia - please listen with caution if you believe this may be triggering for you. We otherwise discuss a little of everything - an update from Sarah on work, books, Stan, husband Noo (our brother) - and his great culinary skills. And then an update from me with Dan making improvements, going away for a weekend and the wonderful people I have in my world that I'm so grateful for. Thank you for listening - hope you enjoy. Thanks to sis Hobbsy, too - appreciate you. To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz Join the Move it Mama app on the App Store here and the Google Play store here

KIRST POST MARATHON!

Hello! Well what a thrill to have a marathon runner in my bedroom next to me today. No wardrobe in sight just the two of us on the mic debriefing all things marathon. This morning we settle in with Kirst and debrief her first ever 42km run ONLY YESTERDAY! Her sodden feet, her untied shoelaces, some panicked unintended toilet paper rationing and much more. Conditions were testing, and as anyone who has ever ran a race will know - obstacles and hurdles can be part of it! If only just for the fear of both number ones and twos unaccounted for. Does toilet talk and running go hand in hand? Kind of. Kirst is one of our very loved coaches and we are so proud of her and her husband Piers for running the full Sunny but rainy coast marathon together. What a team and an inspo they are. Hope you enjoy our chat! Thank you Kirst. PROUD!

Chaos on the mic - the usual debrief

Hello! In true fashion - ie when our feng shui is mucked about and our diaries do stuff to mean we have to record at a time and place other than the usual - life throws us lemons! We had major connectivity issues today - no idea why - must've been fate/the internet knowing we're already going against the grain. Alas, we made it and if you think there are spots where our chat doesn't flow it's because we've tried to edit out the 'where have you gone' silences. We're otherwise in a big cocoon of emotions today talking about the weekend that's been as well as the next little adventure for Jess and family. We're all quite tired and there's some underlying stress but otherwise, we're good. Lots to be grateful for and apologies if we moan too much for your liking. Love you and be back soon. PS - the chat about no one liking us at the end is a joke, said light-heartedly - some days though we find social media a tough gig in that it feels more and more difficult to engage with people - and sometimes it gets us questioning things - which it shouldn't, but we're human. We're grateful. To learn more about Move it Mama visit our website www.moveitmama.co.nz Join the Move it Mama app on the App Store here and the Google Play store here
