Did you know that even having just one child could reduce your super by almost $100k? It's a staggering statistic that we definitely didn't learn in school.

There certainly is a "mum tax" that women face that follows them for years.

In this week’s episode of our parenting podcast This Glorious Mess, we break down the numbers behind "mum math" and share how to secure your finances—not in a dry, boring way, but in a way that makes sense for everyone. Promise!

Plus, we've got some helpful tips from finance guru Canna Campbell!

Welcome to your mental health first aid kit...

One out of every two people will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime. But for most of us, we were never taught how to handle it.

So, we've brought in psychologist Jacqui Manning to provide easy, practical tips for actually feeling better. And no, it's not a bubble bath or "smiling more!"

Always seek the advice of your mental health professional or doctor with any questions you may have regarding your mental health.
