When Danni Duncan told her thousands of followers about her decision to be child-free, she was met with an outpouring of support followed by waves of negativity. Tegan gets behind the mic with Dani, asking the tough questions about her choice and how society has reacted.

Plus Tegan and Libby share their valuable tips on sourcing second, third, and fourth-hand clothing. And how the key to navigating the cost of living crisis could lie within your mothers' group.

In the recommendations, Tegan and Libby reach peak smugness as they suggest another cloth nappy and some garden tools. Who have they become?

Starting a family isn't always as straightforward as it seems. After years of trying to avoid pregnancy, many women are surprised by how difficult it can take to conceive.

In this episode, Tegan and Libby discuss their own fertility journeys, sharing the challenges they faced and the experiences of those close to them. They also talk about friends who are still struggling or have decided, after many rounds of IVF, not to have children.

And in recommendations, Libby’s active 10 month old has bought a new item into the household and Tegan has spotted the perfect all in one item for a pram, bike and stroller.

This week Libby and Tegan unpack Maggie Dent's losing theory and why its so important for children to not win all the time.... and Libby is confused.

Plus there are some dusty old sayings that we need to scrap from our vocabulary and Libby and Tegan are guilty of almost all of them.

And in nails and fails Tegan learns not to invite Libby to a BBQ... like ever.
