Ever wondered what it really takes to say a BIG YES?
Join Mel and Nat In Season 5 as we pull back the curtain and talk to mums who’ve done just that (said a big YES) - sharing the messy, magical behind-the-scenes of what it took to make it happen (spoiler: it’s never as simple as it looks).
If you’ve said YES to something that changed your life, we’d love to hear your story. This is you if:

- Love a good conversation
- Happy to share your story
- Inspired by peoples stories

79: When Saying Yes Doesn’t Go to Plan (and What Happens Next)
You finally carve out a moment that’s just for you—a coffee date, a solo walk, a long-awaited massage. You say the YES, you block the time, maybe even line up the childcare. And then… life happens.
Sick kids. A friend’s cancellation. A curveball in the calendar. Suddenly, the one thing you were holding onto for some relief or joy is off the table.
In this week’s episode, Mel and I dive into those moments—when our precious “yes” doesn’t go to plan. We’ve both had some hilarious, frustrating, and all-too-familiar stories recently that reminded us: it’s not always the yes itself, but what we do next that really matters.
In the past, these cancellations would’ve sent us spiralling—disappointed, angry, maybe even quietly resentful. Especially when it felt like the one shot we had for space or connection was gone. But now? We’ve learned to meet those moments differently.
We ask: Why are we waiting weeks between giving ourselves what we need? Why does one missed moment send us under? And how can we still say yes in the moment, even when the plan has changed?
This episode is for every mum who’s ever had her plans derailed by life’s chaos—and wants to know how to keep choosing herself, even in the middle of the mess.
