When Nikolina first became a mum, she felt like she was hit by a bus. For the first couple of months, she felt like she had no idea what she was doing. Constantly googling why Noah was crying, why he wasn't sleeping or why he wasn't drinking as much milk as other babies his age.

But most importantly, she was spending hundreds of dollars on products that claimed to fix all of these issues, only to be disappointed each time (and give her husband a mini heart attack every time he checked the online banking app).

Nikolina has come out the other side, and like most new mums, she has found the time to write a book. How to Life is SO proud and if there ever was a topic that so many people need advice on... It's how to survive the first six months as a new parent.

Now that Covid has left us (hopefully never to be seen again), our social calendars are quickly filling up! But the girls are already finding with this change comes the real risk of burnout.

Claudia wanted to chat with the girls about how she is focusing on listening to her body and checking in with how things are impacting her mind, body and soul.

Did you know that the average person will change careers between five and seven times during their lifetime? Even though our parents may have stayed with the same employer, and even the same role, for 20-30 years.... we don't have to!

As Nikolina and Jenna have both recently pivoted from working in radio to different industries, the girls chatted about trying new careers without guilt or regret, even though you sometimes feel have a very expensive university degree just sitting in the cupboard.

Claudia & Nikolina are VERY excited for the upcoming silly season and the fact Jenna is finally off the zoom screen and back in the studio. But with the silly season comes Christmas shopping and this is the issue of the week/month/year.

Finding the perfect gift within budget and sprinkled with the perfect amount of thoughtfulness to make your loved one's Christmas is an uphill battle. Nikolina is dealing with one end of the spectrum trying to buy for her husband of 10-15 years (time period unconfirmed), and she has some advice for Jen and Clauds about not going to big too soon in a fresh relationship.... once you give someone a surprise holiday it's very hard to back it up next year.

The word Endo is becoming more and more commonly heard in discussions around health and period pain. Endo aka Endometriosis is a common disease where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside it in other parts of the body.

More than 830,000 of Australians suffer from endometriosis at some point in their life. But the symptoms are variable and the process of diagnosis is long.

But why do we know so little about it? And why does it take so long to get a diagnosis?

Claudia is currently on her own Endo journey, so we thought she was the perfect girl to sit down with Dr Kavya and get some answers.

NOTE: A small correction to the definition of endometriosis stated in this poddy: endometriosis is a condition where tissue very similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) is found growing outside of the uterus.

Nikolina has found a new passion for Instagram Reels - showing the highs, lows and truths of navigating motherhood. But as all things in the world of Social Media, the positives she has found through connecting with women experiencing similar challenges has come with a a negative wave of trolls.
