  • The hallucinations that tricked Chloe Cox into believing she wasn’t a good mum

    The hallucinations that tricked Chloe Cox into believing she wasn’t a good mum

    · Ready or Not

    What Chloe Cox talks about today might just be the bravest thing anyone’s ever shared on this show. After the birth of her first daughter, she was hallucinating. There was a toy dog in the room where she fed and it was telling her that she’d never be able to get her daughter to sleep, that she was a terrible mother.


    She was going about her day looking like a mum who was thriving. She attended a mother’s group and kept up appearances. But as night fell, she was in a world of pain and confusion. 


    Here, we talk about how she got through that time, the beauty of the age gap between her two girls, the power of the positive postpartum and return to work that came with her second, and the importance of shared parental leave.


    This is an incredible story, told from someone who’s as kind and funny as she is brilliant and honest.

    Lu found Charley Vokoun on Instagram via her glorious Instagram account, Book Smut. It’s a place where she shares all the books she’s reading with her engaged, book loving followers, and as one of those followers, it was incredible to later learn that it was a psychologist that influenced her to start the page. She was navigating recurrent miscarriages, and sharing her poetic reviews and bookish adventures became a way to cope and navigate it all. 


    Here, we talk about that very emotional rollercoaster and what it was like to meet her baby after such an intense period, the hardest part of navigating motherhood and career, her reflections on trying to let go of control, and how she’s learned to advocate for herself in her male dominated industry. Plus, we get all her bookish tips!

    Imagine losing your mum just four weeks before becoming a mum yourself. This was the reality for today’s guest Leoni Hess, and when she wrote to us as a longtime listener, we knew we had to share her story. Not only did she have to navigate this duality of life coming and life going and what that would mean for the start of her motherhood journey, but she also had to handle death admin, working, travelling between states, and preparing for parental leave, too. 


    Here, we talk about the pressure of being the glue that holds a family together, why she – despite adoring her in-laws – found it difficult to have her mother in law around her new baby when her own mum couldn’t be there, and what it’s been like learning how to be a mother without her own.

That second and third baby won’t be two under two, that’s two babies within 13 months. 

    This is what happened to Lib Carter, the brains behind Hutton House, and when I heard her story, I knew I had to get her into the studio to hear all about it.


    This is an absolute hoot of a conversation. And if you need something uplifting, you’ve come to the right place. So let’s hear from Lib.

    Holme Beauty founder Hilary Holmes on becoming friends with failure

    · Ready or Not

    From business and beauty to motherhood and childhood, we cover so much in this episode. You’ll hear about how childhood trauma and abuse has shaped her life and journey as a mum, how she built her cult brand Holme Beauty, why she hasn’t connected with the other mums at school, and how she’s learned to become friends with failure. 


    ABOUT HILARY: Hilary Holmes is a straight shooter. She’s not here to fumble through the grey. She’s here to tell you how it really is. She’s also warm. She’s empathetic. And she cares deeply for the underdogs. And I think it’s this clashing of traits – this mixture of the things we expect women to be and not to be, the things that we’ve been told don’t work in tandem – that had Loz and I falling quickly in love with her.

    The Preatures frontwoman Isabella Manfredi on what we expect from female artists

    · Ready or Not

    I was 22 when The Preatures released ‘Is This How You Feel?’ and that song would go on to form as one of the true musical backdrops of my 20s. As the frontwoman for The Preatures and a solo artist, Isabella Manfredi has been on quite the journey, both as a mum and a musician. And here, ahead of returning to Australia shores, she’s here to tell us all about it – what it was like to experience the explosion of The Preatures, what she recalls about leaving the band, the metamorphosis of identity as both a musician and a mother, and why she just wants to look hot on stage when she gets back up there this winter.

    What we thought pregnancy would be like vs. what it’s actually like with Anna Staples | Bonus

    · Ready or Not

    Loz’s baby is coming ANY DAY NOW, so buckle up, because we’ve got a fun bonus episode for you today. Witching Hour will be back in your ears next week, but today on the show, Anna Staples joins us to talk about all things first-time expectant mum life — from pregnancy naps to the shock of unsolicited belly comments. We compare notes on expecting baby #1 vs baby #3, unpack the mental load of new motherhood, and ask the big questions (like… do babies born in winter need jackets?). Plus, the most over-the-top baby purchase you’ll hear all year — and no, it’s not a bassinet.
