Mum and I have been Sex and the City fanatics for 25 years! Incase you missed it, yes it's been that long. With And Just Like That season 2 upon us, we thought why not be a fly on the wall to one of our many debrief sessions. We talk about the first two episodes, our fave moments, both fashion and on screen. Uncover some easter eggs, and also rehash some memories from the passed.

We would love to hear your thoughts about the new season, feel free to DM, email or leave a review. Tune in next week where we will debrief "Chapter 3". And Just Like That, we will be in your ears again soon!

In honour of Erin's incredible fundraising for Epilepsy Action Australia (follow the link to donate), we wanted to revisit this incredible episode. Erin will be running a marathon, be sure to follow her on Little Lulu Love for all the updates. While Jordana is away we will be sharing some of our past episodes, be back live in your ears soon.

Erin is the mother of Luella, a gorgeous 18-month-old who suffers from West Syndrome. What gets her through her day, is the support she receives from her mum, Wendy. Luella has a rare type of epilepsy called West syndrome which causes her to suffer through hundreds of seizures/spasms a day. She is making meeting milestones that, in her original prognosis, wasn't possible thanks in large part to Erin and the wonderful intense therapies she goes to at NAPA.

Wendy is a very hands-on grandmother and mother, which has helped Erin through her postnatal depression, she allows Erin and her husband Dave, a night off every now and again, which is really essential for any parent, let alone parents who have to manage the added stresses of Luella's condition. As Erin says "Luella isn't a burden, it's her seizures that are a burden!"

There were many tears during this episode, but Erin has always been happy to push through the tears, so that, as a mum, and also as Luella's voice, she is heard. There needs to be more research and funding into West Syndrome and giving parents and guardians more support through NDIS.

This conversation has two-parts: listen now to part 2 of this conversation with an amazing mother and daughter. Thank you again to Erin and Wendy for sharing their story and being the most amazing advocates for Luella.

We wanted to thank all our former guests who sent in a special message for their mums for Mother's Day. I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to my mum for everything she does for me and my family on a daily basis, for answering my calls multiple times a day (or an hour on some days). Special messages from Behar, Jade, Nikolina, Lauren, and Ella.

In our episode, we chat with Nicola and Gabriella, a bond forged through their love of travel, Oprah, and fashion!

Nicola was a Qantas flight attendant for 34 years. While raising a family, Nicola worked at 34,000 ft traveling the globe – and instilling in her two children the value of working hard, having a sense of curiosity and adventure, and how to have fun and make the most out of life.

Gabriella is a News Anchor and Reporter at Sky News Australia.

What Gabriella admires most about her mum, is her fearless confidence and positive approach to life. Nicola admires Gabriella’s drive, compassion, and ability to connect with everyone she meets. Nicola and Gabriella have always valued the bond that they share. They’ve been through all the highs and lows of life together. They may occasionally fight about sharing clothes – but deep down they know how lucky they are.

How ever you celebrate your mother or mother figure this Sunday, we hope you have a lovely weekend. If you have a story you want to share, please reach out via DM or email mothersanddaughterspod@gmail.com.
