  • To love and let go with Tim Bateman

    To love and let go with Tim Bateman
    Jul 11 2025
    In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah chat to passionate dad, former professional rugby player, children’s book author, and owner and founder of nationwide wellness centres, O-Studio, Tim Bateman. Tim talks about the highs, heartbreaks, and hard-earned wisdom of raising two daughters as a young parent from the baby years to boyfriends and beyond. Tim became a dad at 19 while juggling playing professional rugby and working towards a law degree. He determinedly built a life centred around family with the intention not just to parent, but to be a good parent. Now, with his girls in their late teens, he reflects on the joy he found in the early years and the challenges of adolescence and adulthood while he navigates the art of letting go. Tim discusses the shock of sudden teenage transformations and parenting without a roadmap, but relying on three profound rules throughout. He shares their relationship rituals, how he’s staying relevant, and why sometimes the most powerful thing a dad can do is simply stay present, patient, consistent, and quiet, but ready with the right question if they’re open to listening! Tim also shares openly about growing up alongside his partner, Laura, after they met at just 15. How they navigated early parenthood, big life changes, and serious health challenges. With a relationship forged in the fire of real life, he reflects on the rituals and intentional time together that have helped them stay connected over the years, and how he’s tried to model a healthy, respectful partnership to his daughters. Now, with their daughters becoming more independent, Tim talks about reclaiming time for himself and for their relationship, enjoying the space to be in each other’s company as life opens up again.

  • Running a tight ship with Art Green

    Running a tight ship with Art Green
    Jun 27 2025

    In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah invite Art Green to step aboard something of a leaky conversational boat. Ever progressively humbled from his distinguished days of being Aotearoa’s favourite Bachelor, Art’s now deeply embedded in the role of Stay At Home Dad, where he prides himself on running a tight ship. Together, he and Matty attempt to unpack the realities of swapping traditional roles, but mostly get side-tracked by divergent yarns and designing, Maurice, the perfect imaginary personal assistant.

    In a chat that’s both full of hysterical giggles and uncomfortably real, Art reflects on his admiration for single parents and the realisation that most praise he gets for parenting comes from the novelty of being a dad who shows up to do what many mums do largely unremarked upon everyday.

    There’s also an admirable listener submission for their extended ‘trampolining session’, tips for cleaning vomit out of car seats, book recommendations, and some cute mutual appreciation amongst the group. Whether you’re a tag-teaming couple, a solo parent on fumes, you’ll feel seen in this one ... or, at least, quite well entertained.
