    Deb Buckley 3.0

    Deb Buckley 3.0

    Hello guys! Deb Buckley is back on the pod. We always love to hear whatever it is Deb has to say and today is no exception. A quick word to note is that this episode with Deb was recorded early last week. In today's episode we go over who Deb is and her interest in neuroscience (for those that haven't listened to Deb before). Deb is a passionate forever-learner with a vested passion and interest in human behaviour and the brain. In this episode, we first question Deb on what she believes to be the key qualities and most important to her in being a good mother. We then ask Deb a multitude of questions and as a result she takes us through a bit about the brain and what it's doing at different ages and stages - especially for both young and older kids. Leece throws a spanner with a question about the game Fortnite, which guides our conversation to the massive world of kids and gaming, managing kids and social media and thoughts in general around screens and kids. Leece felt somewhat triggered in this chat which she admits to being (a word of warning), however it is very thought provoking and might give you some food for thought. Please note this is a conversation that comes with no judgement - you are your own parent and your own person doing whatever feels right for you. With love - enjoy.

    Mack Dewar + running

    Mack Dewar + running

    Today we're excited to introduce our friend Mack Dewar to the podcast. We met Mack in around 2021 when he started doing quite a bit of work for Move it Mama. Over the past three years we have watched him go from kind of being into running to this year completing a 3:14 Christchurch marathon, all the while documenting the journey via YouTube, TikTok (@maccadewar) and Instagram (@mackdewar). Mack was a massive inspiration to Jess's trip back into running and particularly to completing the Christchurch marathon herself. What started as a tool to help with some mental health struggles in 2020 is now a huge life passion holding a significant power for Mack and his health. In today's episode we bounce around many topics including but not limited to: learning to run, lessons in his first (4:29) marathon, slowing down and letting go of your ego, tips for beginners or anyone wanting to improve, lessons along the way and where to from here. We know not everyone is into running or aspires to be a 'runner', but Mack's story is reassuring of the power of exercise on ones mental and physical health. We hope you enjoy our conversation.

    Monday bloody Monday (you'll discover the pun while listening lol)

    Monday bloody Monday (you'll discover the pun while listening lol)

    A few things to mull our little minds over today. From the perplexing use of the thumbs up emoji to furries, weekend shenanigans, lessons in sport, Mo Gawdet and more. As we started recording this morning it really felt like it had been more than a week since we had our last lacklustre debrief, which pretty much sums up life doesn't it and the speed at which it passes us by. The Mo Gawdat and Alice Law episode we refer to is on the 'Exhibit A' podcast and linked for you below. It's so worth a listen; his attitude and his work is inspiring and it gave us both a really good dose of perspective - we know not everyone needs this - but it was a great chat.

    Thank you for being here, as always. We'll report back with Leece's blood volume findings lol.

    Hobbsy aka Sarah, our sister in law

    Hobbsy aka Sarah, our sister in law

    Hello hello. For anyone that doesn't know Sarah, she's our sister in law - our brothers wife - and among other things, a Move it Mama trainer. She has a love of books (not just reading them but discussing them post-workout, too), a real creative flair, a sense of humour like no other and is a busy ass working mum to Stan and angel girl Sophia. Sarah lost Sophia nearly five years ago and discusses this quite a bit in today's episode (TW: baby loss). She talks candidly about life at the minute (lol), from meeting our brother, their move from Wanaka to Geraldine, our brother's hip operation and what's been going on, the juggle of three jobs and more. It's been a busy time and we know lots of you love Hobbsy's chat, so trust you'll enjoy hearing more from her. We love you Hobbsy, thanks for the bants!

    The lacklustre debrief

    The lacklustre debrief

    This episode comes with a warning - it feels necessary because we feel we fall a bit flat. Not that every episode needs to be lol worthy, but this one is a bit like two old ducks having a tough old time on the parenting front who very much needed to fester somewhat into their issues. So join us if you dare (lol) for the debrief on life - the current trials and tribulations involving the kids and husbands, social media and kids with phones in general (*quivering in our boots as to how to handle*), dealing with the icy aftermath with your partner following a barney, knowing when you're 'done' having kids and naturally a bit about food, specifically pies. Thanks for listening to our sub-par banter and we hope you'll join us again after this (!).

    Fraser Grut - the man with a dream

    Fraser Grut - the man with a dream

    Hello guys. Our fun new guest today is Fraser Grut - the man with a dream. His dream? To film the dreams of 10,000 people before he 'croaks it'. We found Fraser on Instagram a while ago and have really loved watching his work and his story come to life. His passion is in dreams and now, he's travelling the world meeting with all sorts of people from the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Jackasses Stevo, Terry Crews, Stan Walker, Mick Fanning, Elmo and plenty more - from all walks of life, all across the globe. It is impossible to talk with Fraser and not smile - his energy is infectious and we just love the platform he's building. Today we talk to Fraser about his mission in depth; how it started, how it works, what's funding it, his wife Jayde's support, what the plan is from here and what's coming next. We were so lucky to sit down with Fraser in amongst a pretty hectic calendar centred on dreams and before he flies to LA for some very important bookings. Fraser, thank you. To our sparkle pod pals - we hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did. Oh and Fraser's chip flavour is going to leave you shook but don't judge him lol.
