Hapū Club
Kia ora, I’m Eve! I used to host TV & radio shows here in Aotearoa New Zealand and now I’m up to my elbows in Mum Life (and often the bodily fluids that come with that.) I’ve never been happier, more exhausted, more fulfilled or as challenged as I am in this new role of parent so I created this podcast to share the highs and the lows with a community of like-minded people because let's be honest, parenting can be lonely sometimes. If you’re looking for laughs, advice and a community to share this wild parenting ride with, have a listen; we kōrero about everything from giving birth to surrogacy, toddler tantrums to abortion, juggling work and family, to getting your sex-life back on track post-kids. If you want to make my day, hit subscribe so that other parents know where to find us. P.S. You’re doing amazing sweetie! (We’re all just winging it.)
