Zero judgement here!!

In this conversation we explore the complexities of screen time in the modern digital age, discussing its impact on children's attention spans, behaviour, and the challenges we all as parents face in finding a healthy balance.

We share personal experiences, strategies for setting boundaries, the importance of leading by example and the need for awareness of the potential negative effects of excessive screen time while acknowledging there are benefits screens can provide.

Ultimately, we emphasize the importance of creating healthy habits and engaging in family activities to foster a balanced lifestyle.

We want to hear from YOU ... what are your thoughts and feelings around this tricky subject, how are you approaching finding the balance with your families.. comment below or drop us an email at mamasmessandmagic@gmail.com

Thank you for listening.

Ever felt like if one more little hand touches you, you might burst? You're not alone!! In this episode, we’re diving into the very real and rarely talked about experience of being touched out or even Tapped Out as Jennifer described it in this episode, when constant physical contact, demands, and closeness become overwhelming.

We share honest reflections, relatable stories, and simple strategies to help you find space, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself and your little ones.

Love

Sleep deprivation is practically a rite of passage in mamahood, but just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s easy!

In this episode, we are talking about the relentless exhaustion and night time battles that comes with our little humans.

• The struggles of sleep deprivation (it’s more than just missing hours!)
• The physical, emotional, and mental toll of long-term sleep deprivation
• Practical ways to survive the fog of exhaustion sharing our stories and some useful solutions

So if you are running on fumes, this one’s for you. Grab a coffee (or two), press play, and know you’re not alone in the exhaustion.

What’s the funniest thing tiredness has made you do?

• Put the remote in the fridge?
• Tried to unlock your house with a dummy?
