In this fan favourite episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah are joined by internationally renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr Stacy Sims — a trailblazer on a mission to revolutionise how women train, eat, and perform.

Known for her viral TED Talk “Women Are Not Small Men”, bestselling book Roar, and over 100 peer-reviewed papers, Stacy has dedicated her career to closing the gender gap in sports science. In this conversation, she dives into the often-overlooked physiological and emotional challenges girls face during puberty — challenges that are too often misunderstood or ignored, causing many to lose confidence and drop out of sport.

With her new course NEXT GEN, Stacy is focused on educating coaches and parents to better support developing girls. She explores how puberty impacts performance, confidence, and injury risk, and why it’s crucial to rethink how we train and talk to our daughters. From the damaging effects of language like “girl pushups” and “sissy squats,” to the ripple effects of diet culture and uniform design, Stacy highlights the changes we need to make — and how to do it.

This episode is a rallying cry to shift the culture around girls’ health, sport, and self-image — and to give them the tools, language, and support they deserve.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah chat with artist and filmmaker, Jacob Dawson, who flips the script and interviews the girls. So, what happens when a soon-to-be dad realises 2026 is officially ‘The Year of the Baby’… and decides to crowdsource his entire parenting education from two women who have conceived, birthed, and (at time of recording) successfully retained their children?

Jacob everything he didn’t know he needed to know about conception, pregnancy, birth, and how not to completely lose the plot along the way. From fertile windows and freezer meals to pregnancy naps, hypnobirthing, and why vacuuming might be the sexiest pre-conception move of all, nothing is off limits.

This is Expecting 101 for the blissfully naive, the quietly panicking, and anyone who enjoys learning about babies via equal parts warmth, wisdom, and absolute nonsense.

No medical advice. Many opinions. Strong encouragement to be a snack king ...
