If December feels like a full-time job you didn’t apply for, this one’s for you. In this episode, we unpack the absolute madness of the Christmas lead-up — juggling school events, last-minute shopping, secret Santa admin, and somehow remembering to move the Elf on the Shelf at midnight. It’s a funny, honest take on how mums somehow fit it all in, even when we’re running on caffeine, leftovers, and pure Christmas adrenaline. Expect laughs, relatable chaos, and the comforting reminder that none of us are doing this perfectly just making messy and beautiful memories.
Is screen time a modern parenting saviour, a silent saboteur, or just another tool we’re all trying to use wisely? In this episode, we dive into the myths, guilt, benefits, and real-life chaos around kids and screens. From educational apps to “please-just-give-me-five-minutes” moments, we unpack what screen time actually means for families today — without judgement, just honesty.
Welcome to the podcast where we peel back the curtain on life with two little humans—because no one warned us how wild the upgrade really is. From sibling rivalry and mum-guilt whiplash to those heart-melting moments that hit you out of nowhere, this is a space for honest chats, hilarious stories, and the kind of solidarity only parents in the trenches truly understand.
Whether you’re pregnant with your second, deep in the chaos, or just here for the comedy, pull up a pram, pour the cold coffee, and join us as we unpack the beautifully chaotic leap from one child to two.
🎙️ Buckle up, parents! Ever tried keeping a toddler entertained on a flight?

Spoiler: snacks are your best friend! 🍿😂 #TravelWithKids #ParentingAdventures #PodcastLife
“ - why mums are going from Employee to Employer and all in between!
Motherhood can spark a whole new kind of ambition — but turning that spark into a business? That’s no walk in the park. This episode dives into why mums start their own ventures, the realities they face, and how they’re redefining what success looks like.
Trick-or-treat, but make it caffeine / wine -fuelled. This week, we open the doors to our very own 'haunted' house — complete with endless chocolate, overtired kids, and coffee strong enough to wake the dead. It’s a mum-life Halloween special full of chaos, sugar highs, and epic halloween decoration fails!
This week we’re diving into DIY Aesthetics & Anaesthetics — because nothing says “self-care” like questionable home DIY and a side of gossip that’ll numb you faster than lidocaine - pour yourself that glass of vino and ENJOY from the comfort of your own DIY home :)
This week, it’s all about boundaries — or as we like to call it, the art of the polite 'nope' - We’re chatting about why mums struggle to say no, how to do it without a guilt hangover, and how “sorry, I can’t” can actually be self-care in disguise.
Warning: may cause side effects like free time and slightly improved sanity.
We’re talking Overstimulation — and no, not that kind. This one’s about waking up our adult brains after too many hours of Peppa Pig and snack negotiations. From finding excitement beyond laundry piles to remembering what actual fun feels like, we’re reigniting the spark (in our minds, at least). Tune in for laughs, a little chaos, and a reminder that we’re still humans under the parenting layers.
This week, we’re talking The Cost of Family Living — and honestly, it’s not just our wallets crying. Between $8 milk, never-ending lunchbox snacks, Halloween, Easter and Christmas and the emotional toll of pretending you’re fine at checkout, parenting in 2025 is… expensive.
We’re breaking down the real cost of raising a family — money, time, sanity — and asking: is it normal to budget for both groceries and a mental health day?
Episode 5: Digital Motherhood – Navigating Mum Life in the Age of WiFi 📱☕

Episode 4: The Identity Shift of Motherhood 🌸✨
This week on House of Coffee & Chaos, Kat and Flick unpack one of the biggest transformations mums face: the identity shift in motherhood. From the moment your baby arrives, everything changes—your body, your mindset, your priorities, and sometimes even your sense of self.

Balancing the old “you” with the new “mum you”

In this episode of House of Coffee & Chaos, we dive into the hilarious reality of baby brain, the chaos of Father’s Day with kids, and those unforgettable parenting fails we’ve all experienced.
