Welcome back to Big Mum Energy, your chaotic bestie in podcast form. This week’s Mundane Monday Motivation is here to slap you lovingly across the face with a sweaty sports bra and remind you: you’re allowed to move your body, even if it’s mostly to escape your kids.

In this episode:

• Ali gets real about mum-life motivation and why going to the gym isn’t about looking hot — it’s about mental survival
• Her secret trick for waking up early and semi-functioning in the 5am club
• Why movement matters — and no, it doesn’t have to be a 12-step Pilates flow with lemon water
• Plus: a pep talk for those of us who wake up most days feeling like a dehydrated slug in a nursing bra

If you’ve ever thought “I should work out” and then rolled over and cried into a stale biscuit — this one’s for you, babe.

• Start small
• Show up crusty
• Move your body because you can, not because you hate it
• And scream “FML” into a pillow before sunrise

Ali’s brain is doing backflips because the school sent a note (buried under 47 others) saying the kids should wear their State of Origin colours... for the Women’s game. That’s right. Not the boys’.

In this episode:

• The chaotic joy of inclusive sport.
• A very real rant about being the one who remembers every single themed day, permission slip, and who likes which colour cup
• A no-filter chat on pink vs blue jobs who does what in the house and why it doesn’t mean you're stuck in 1950
• And a loving reminder that just because you know where the soccer boots are, doesn’t mean you’re failing feminism

• Real talk about the mental load of motherhood
• Laughs about the daily juggle of working mum life
• A cheeky celebration of progressive parenting wins (even if they come wrapped in maroon and blue)

Welcome to the very first Wine-Down Friday on Big Mum Energy the unfiltered, funny-as-hell podcast for mums who are just trying to keep the wheels on (sometimes literally, in the mum taxi).

In this chaotic intro episode, you'll meet your host Ali – a real-life mum juggling work, motherhood, a side hustle or three, and the emotional damage caused by turning up to the wrong bloody appointment (again).

Get ready for:

• Hilarious mum fails and parenting rants
• A peek into why this podcast exists (spoiler: therapy was booked out)
• What to expect each week – think: funny parenting stories, working mum life, emotional breakdowns, and probably too much swearing
• And a wine-down moment for you to feel a little less alone in the madness

If you're a tired mum, a working mum, a school lunch-packing legend, or just someone who’s ever whispered “I can’t do this today” while searching for a clean sock — this podcast is for you.

It’s raw.

It’s relatable.

It drops every week

And it’s got more chaos than a 3-year-old with a permanent marker.

So grab a glass (or a mug), press play, and settle in because Big Mum Energy has officially arrived.
