Are you the default parent? Chances are the answer is yes - the one your kids ask for everything, or the one carrying the administrative mental load.

Tegan and Annaliese have conducted investigative research and discovered that being the default parent could actually have some adverse side effects on your relationship and your mental health and it's time we talk about it.

Plus, Sarah Marie is back to addresses a very relatable problem about splitting the load on the return to work but warning - this one comes with very little empathy.

And, we hear from a parent of a special needs child about how she is making dinner inclusive for the whole family on this week's Dinner Time.

With the news often highlighting the darker side of what men are capable of, raising a boy in 2024 can feel daunting and lets be honest a little bit anxiety-inducing.

Annaliese and Tegan, both moms to boys, are inspired by these challenges to teach their sons how to be good partners, sons, and friends.

Plus, Sarah Marie tackles a rather cringy problem: why do we insist on asking if a 4-year-old has a boyfriend or girlfriend? They're just four!

Body dissatisfaction is affecting nearly half of young people in Australia, even keeping them from going to school. Scary statistics, so Annaliese and Tegan dig deep to discuss their own struggles with body shame and how comments about food played a significant role in their childhood.

Determined not to pass on the same food trauma or triggering conversations, Annaliese speaks with nutritionist Lyndi Cohen to discover the best language to use with children.

Plus, Sarah Marie offers some relatable advice for dealing with a tricky mother-in-law situation.

Welcome to a brand new podcast from This Glorious Mess called Little Love Stories.

Little Love Stories is an open-hearted conversation with someone who has love and gratitude to share, whether it's about a person, an object, or an event.

In this first episode, This Glorious Mess co-host Annaliese Todd shares the love story she wrote to herself. No one plans on becoming a single parent, but through this journey of self-discovery, Annaliese is breaking down stigmas and finding love for herself as she navigates the dark days.

Little Love Stories explores gratitude through written form and heartfelt conversation. The world is full of little moments of love and magic—it's time we started to notice them.

You can read Annaliese's full essay here.

Money, money, money - we truly wish it was just an ABBA song, but in reality, talking about money can be very uncomfortable.

For primary carers, finances and superannuation can take a significant hit, especially when relying on a partner’s salary during maternity leave.

In this week's episode, Annaliese and Tegan tackle the question: when it comes to money, career, and family - can women really have it all, or have they been sold a lie?

Plus, Sarah Marie helps a mother who’s torn between having another child and returning to work.
